How to Play jar Games on Your PC

Okay, most of you might be wondering, ‘WTF?! Why would I play jar games on my PC?’ For one reason, I am a big fan of those simple 2D jar games that you put in your mobile. As a matter of fact, I put many games in my mobile. So I just test them on my PC, so that the games that I’m gonna put in my phone will be good.

To run/play a game in your PC, the first thing that you need is an emulator. An emulator is a software that acts as if it were a phone and lets you run the jar games on your PC.

Two of the best emulators are Sjboy and Midp2Exe. Personally I would recommend Midp2Exe. Although you can download the files from their website, I would recommend downloading from this link.
