KEmulator

KEmulator is an emulator program that allows you to run Java apps made for older mobile phone platforms. This program is more powerful than many others in its category, as it lets you select the specific phone model you wish to emulate, as opposed to just running the Java applets on your PC. Emulation for a variety of Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG, Samsung and Motorola phones is available. It can handle almost all mobile apps in JAR format, as it comes with built-in support for a wide range of classic mobile APIs.

The emulator supports a long list of mobile 2D and 3D graphics engine, allowing it to accurately emulate applications with more complex visual elements, most notably games. If there's a mobile game that you used to play on your old phone when you were younger, there's a very high chance that KEmulator can let you rediscover it. The development team that created this emulation software has put in a lot of effort to make it compatible with as many mobile apps as possible.

While KEmulator is mainly used by individuals who want to play mobile games on their PC, it can also be a useful tool for Java developers creating apps for mobile devices. If you're interested in making apps or games for basic or feature phones that use Java applications, you can use it to test your creations before you make them available to the public.

The software is rather straightforward to use, but the user interface isn't the most intuitive and the provided instructions have been called confusing by some users. Still, it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to figure out where everything is.

• Emulates a wide range of classic mobile devices.
