Here’s a small tip to run any JAVA games meant for 176×208 resolution mobiles on your latest S60 3rd Edtion mobile device in Full Screen (or the supported highest screen resolution for your mobile phone, for example S60 3rd Edition devices like Nokia N80 support a screen resolution of 352×416 while S60 2nd Edition device like N73 support a resolution of 240×320). Via AAS Forum.
1) Download and install WinRar
2) Goto Options—>Settings—>Integration and select Associate WinRAR with JAR
3) Now open the JAR file using WinRAR, goto META-INF folder, and extract the MANIFEST.MF file to your desktop computer
4) Open MANIFEST.MF with Notepad and add the following lines at the end
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352,416
Original display is the dependant on the original resolution meant for the game
Target display is where you can enter your mobile device’s screen resolution.Like if you’ve got a Nokia N80, N93, etc, you can enter 352,416
5) Save the file in notepad and place it back into META-INF folder

1Any idea what the full screen settings are for the Nokia E61? Also, I think you can also just have the Original settings placed there, just change the values.

3Hi,
I am using Nokia N90. I tried doing all the things mentioned above. Did OTA and then also it is actually occupying only 1/4th the screen. Any solutions?

4What are you putting for Target display size? I guess Nokia N90 has a screen resolution of 176×208.

5No,
N90 has a display size of 352X416.
My problem is, i have a game for 176X208. To port it to N90, it is causing lots of trouble. I tried using the following:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352,416
But this is not working out.
