KEmulator is a Windows program that allows PC users to run mobile Java games and applications on their computers. It accomplishes this by emulating mobile operating systems.

KEmulator can be very useful for testing out new Java applications on a computer before making the decision to install them on a mobile phone. KEmulator is both easy to use and extremely versatile. It can emulate several different types of mobile phones, including LG, Nokia, Samsung and many others. For almost every kind of J2ME program, KEmulator supports the APIs.

After loading the application, users will have the choice of controlling KEmulator with either an on-screen keyboard or with their physical keyboard. Users will enjoy the ability to view graphics at any size by enabling pixel interpolation. Even games that are very demanding can still run on KEmulator due to its excellent compatibility. It supports both 2D and 3D graphics engines.

Java programmers will be happy to learn about the option to capture video. This feature allows users to save program sequences as AVI files. One thing users should be aware of, however, is that before you are able to use KEmulator, you must install JRE on your computer. JRE stands for Java Runtime Enviornment. It is free and very easy to install. Simply download the file from Java’s website and follow the directions.

Pros:

  • Excellent performance
  • Several different graphics options
  • Great compatibility
  • Can capture image and video

Cons:

  • The interface is somewhat inaccessible

KEmulator is a truly versatile piece of software designed to be used all kinds of people. Whether you are a Java programmer or just an average person who wishes to play or test mobile Java games and applications on your computer before committing to installing them on your phone, KEmulator is certainly a program you will enjoy.
