[FAQ] Java Game compatibility / screen size issues
Unfortunately, some java games in the public gallery don't indicate what screen resolution they support.
For the games that don't have this information, and you have played the game. Please help us in identifying what resolution the games are by posting in this thread with the java game title, URL, Your phone Make/Model and whether the game resolution is too big or too small for your handset.
Thanks!

War of the Worlds 320x240
Hi guys,
I'm having a unique issue with War of the Worlds (240x320) on my Nokia 6131. I've run the gamut of compatibility issues for java games (no 3D support, wrong size games, audio stalls, forign languages, etc) but War of the Worlds (from several sources) has a new problem i've not seen before and can't seem to fix--and I've downloaded several versions of the game from different places, and the Mobiles24 one acts the same.
The game plays cropped to about 240x240. I can tell it has the correct data to be running in 240x320, because the tripod walker is stomping all over buildings and i'm getting points, but the top and bottom of the game screen are cropped, and instead of showing blank white like a game that is the wrong resolution, it's actually showing my wallpaper!
I've tried the trick editing the MANIFEST.MF file and changing settings there (I even wrote a new one from a similar game that does work) but nothing will force it to show the entire game screen. And it's not my theme, because I've reverted to default and it still happens.
And ideas? It's a shame I won't be able to play this top-rated side-scroller. What I could see of it looked like fun.

Cheers.
