What does the game phone stand for?

Generally speaking, a game mobile phone is a mobile phone that can play games. Game platform classification: embedded/built-in games. In the early days, the mobile phone had simple functions and the screen was only monochrome. What mobile phone manufacturers can do is to build some simple games in their mobile phones.

These games are developed by manufacturers with their own exclusive platforms. Because many games are pre-stored in the mobile phone when they are released, users can't add or delete them themselves.

Nokia can be said to be one of the earliest manufacturers. At the end of 1990s, the most classic "Snake" game on Nokia 5 1 10 is still talked about by the first generation of mobile phone players.

Later, other mobile phone manufacturers followed suit and added games to the newly launched mobile phones.

A wonderful Tetris game can also be played on such a small screen as Ericsson T28.

Although later, before the popularization of GPRS service, some mobile phone manufacturers also developed some interactive games similar to short messages, and achieved the purpose of entertainment by sending text or simple graphics (Nokia mobile phones at that time could transmit intelligent information).

For example, the "Kung Fu Kid" built in Siemens 2 1 18 can play by SMS.

However, this short message game will deduct money every time it is sent. If the game content is huge, the cost of playing it is very considerable.

Therefore, with the enhancement of mobile phone functions, the charm of SMS games has gradually lost, and now it has gradually faded out of the market and evolved into other applications.

Third-party game software This is a game development model that has become the mainstream trend at present, and it can also be called plug-in game.

This game is based on the graphic functions supported by mobile phones such as java.

, relying on the mobile phone system as a platform.

This greatly increases the content and fun of the game itself and the choice of users.

Just like computer games, users can choose games suitable for their mobile phone models, and then choose different game software to install in their mobile phones according to their personal preferences.

The formation of the third-party game industry has directly stimulated the design trend of mobile phone manufacturers, stimulated the development and improvement of mobile phone system platforms, and led to the birth of some mobile phones with "games" as the main gimmick, such as Nokia N-gage.

With the intelligent development trend of mobile phone system and the rising hardware configuration, mobile games are becoming more and more "big". Many games use 3D technology, and there are more and more real mobile online games.

It can be predicted that in the near future, the development of the mobile game industry will usher in a new peak.

In fusion

ExEn entertainment platform Even if the screen of the mobile phone turns into color, the built-in games will always be fun.

Therefore, users also want to be able to play new games or new games through the wireless network like pictures and ringtones.

French In-Fusio company took a fancy to this market and launched ExEn(Execution) on 200 1.

Engine) game platform.

By adding the exclusive ExEn chip to the mobile phone, it gives the mobile phone a colorful picture and smooth execution speed, which makes the mobile phone have the same effect as the handheld game machine.

In 2002, the company developed ExEn.

V2 engine further improves the speed and expressiveness of running mobile games on mobile phones.

ExEn can be said to be the first open interactive game platform, allowing manufacturers interested in developing mobile phones to join the development ranks.

ExEn is a compact JA virtual machine, which is dedicated to mobile communication device games.

Once integrated with the terminal, you can play games and local games.

So as long as you use the mobile phone with built-in ExEn chip, you can play it on the mobile phone from the ExEn content provider through GSM or GPRS network technology. If you are tired of playing, you can delete it and continue to play other games.

An ENEX game is generally between 15K and 55K, generally around 30K.

The game is stored in the flash memory of the mobile phone; The number of games depends on the space available for games in the flash memory and the size of each game.

At present, there are many mobile phone manufacturers supporting ExEn technology, such as Alcatel 735/535, X88/86, Sachim my and so on.

X5, Philips 530/350 and Mitsubishi M720. And domestic manufacturers have Bird, CECT and Kejian.

ENEX platform games also have some characteristics in use, that is, the games in the latest catalogue are free, but it is completely free to pay the communication fee at that time and then play the games offline (stand-alone).

However, if the game results are sent to the "leaderboard" after the game, or a short message requesting an upgrade is sent, a fee of 1.50/ will be charged.

(excluding domestic SMS charges, 0. 10/).

However, ExEn platform games are not supported by first-line brands such as Nokia and Motorola, and there is no huge software development team. In addition, In-Fusio only plays ExEn games on a few systems. At present, only German, French, Italian, Spanish, British, Dutch and other European countries and seven countries in China can play ExEn games.

Moreover, the available ExEn games are also very limited, so compared with the emerging JA games with higher openness and richer games, their prospects for sustainable development are relatively dim.

J2ME J2ME platform (JA

Microscopic, domain-specific

) is the most popular mobile game platform at present, although some small applications can also be installed.

J2ME can be simply understood as the mobile phone version of JA and its MIDP (mobile phone).

information

equipment

Profile (Mobile Information Device Profile) architecture is specially designed for mobile phones and PDA.

At present, MIDP is divided into 1.0 and 2.0, and the latter has better effects in game compatibility and multimedia expression, such as sound effects and vibration. In addition, the test software shows that JA games supporting MIDP2.0 have better performance in graphics running ability than 1.0 version.

At present, the mobile phones supporting MIDP2.0 are mainly released after the second half of 2003, such as Sony Ericsson K700, Motorola V300 and Nokia 6230.

At the same time, the program developed on J2ME platform is called MIDlet, which can run directly from online and offline, and can also be transmitted from PC to mobile phone through data cable, infrared ray or Bluetooth.

Because J2ME program is very small, only a few tens of K, so it is also called K-JA.

Because K-JA(J2ME) is an open platform, any programmer and even programming enthusiasts can go to Sun website J2ME to develop tools and write JA programs for mobile phones.

In addition, J2ME's MIDlet files are all created by. Judd (JA

File) and. Jar (JA

Package), different mobile phone brands will have different ways of use and installation, such as Sony Ericsson's mobile phone, just need to install JAR files; Both Samsung and Nokia phones need JAD and JAR files.

Because of its advanced technology and cross-platform operation, J2ME has been supported by many mobile phone manufacturers and even become an important technical index of users' mobile phones.

So far, J2ME is the most popular mobile game application platform, and there are more and more J2ME software developers. J2ME has become the mainstream mobile game platform since the second half of 2002.

Especially in 2004, based on JSR 184.

At present, JA games on the market have the highest support for Nokia phones, and although some phones of this brand can't have more than 64K programs, Nokia phones are basically the best in terms of running speed and compatibility.

synergistic effect

Mophun platform Mophun is a brand-new mobile game and entertainment platform developed by Synergenix in Sweden in 2002.

Mophun sounds like More.

Fun, a game language mainly designed for game platforms, uses C program to develop games, which is more stable and faster than JA.

VM is many times faster (the manufacturer claims to be fast 100 times), which can exert the limit of mobile phone hardware.

At the same time, Moshun

The game platform can run on extremely limited hardware resources, and its minimum hardware requirement is an 8-bit processor running at 12MHz, so it is suitable for existing 2G mobile phones.

Because Mophun's API is fully functional and locally generated, the advantage of fast running is obvious, especially for Sony Ericsson mobile phones that support Mophun and JA dual game platforms.

Under normal circumstances, excluding other factors, Sony Ericsson mobile phone runs Mophun games much faster than JA games.

In addition, Mophun games don't need a one-time payment (this is the same as ExEn's idea), and at the same time,

Mophun also has a security mechanism (anti-piracy version), so the main program of the game cannot be copied from the mobile phone, only the game is saved and transferred to the computer.

Nokia's NG series Mophun games are all here. Mpn file format. When the file is too large, it can be divided into 30KB parts, and the mobile phone will automatically connect when it is sent to the mobile phone.

Also, Mophun games must go through Synergenix authentication steps before they can be executed on mobile phones.

Games that are not certified can only be executed on the simulator to ensure that the games are certified by the original factory.

Mophun games attach great importance to copyright. Games on mobile terminals cannot be uploaded to PC or other terminals. Many friends have to pay again for deleted games for various reasons.

There is no legal way to get the official version of the game in China.

Now Mophun software technology is generally equipped with TI.

OMAP mobile hardware platform can give full play to the best implementation effect. At present, Sony Ericsson mobile phones and Nokia mobile phones basically use TI (Texas Instruments) hardware chips.

Coupled with some advantages of Mophun, more and more games support this platform. At present, the number of Mophun games has exceeded 100, and the number is still increasing.

Because the potential of Mophun is optimistic, in addition to Sony Ericsson, some manufacturers have begun to join Mophun and launch mobile phones that support both J2ME and Mophun platforms.

Such as Nokia 3650, 7650, 6600, N-Gage and other series.

60 mobile phones, as well as Motorola A920 and Siemens.

Moplin

The game platform can be said to be one of the best game platforms for mobile phones because of its high efficiency on extremely limited hardware resources.

Users can use WAP.

Send the game directly to the mobile phone, or transfer the Mophun game from PC to the mobile phone through infrared, data cable and Bluetooth.

In addition, the function of Mophun has been adopted by more than 12 European and North American network operators.

For the future trend of mobile 3D games, Synergenix recently launched Mophun.

It is the basic platform for the development and operation of value-added services based on CDMA network launched by Qualcomm 200 1.

Compared with JA, BREW is a lower-level technology.

Strictly speaking, games are only part of BREW's content.

BREW's functional environment, like the operating system on a PC, can be used through applications or games designated by service providers.

For the mobile phone terminal supporting BREW, two applications have been pre-installed at the factory.

They are application managers (applications)

Manager) and MobileShop.

Strictly speaking, the game is just a part of BREW. BREW games have the following characteristics, such as the same game can be run on different mobile phones, thus achieving real cross-platform use.

At the same time, it also provides a unified platform for content providers to develop games that meet the needs of users, saving development costs and time.

In addition, its charging methods can be flexible and diverse, according to time, time of use and monthly subscription.

At present, the version of BREW has reached 3.0. In China, almost all mobile phones that support the "Magic Book" function can play BREW games, while in China and the United States, there are a large number of BREW services including BREW games.

Future mobile game trends The future mobile game platform is more lively because of the professional level of ATI and nVIDIA, two major PC display chip manufacturers.

Introduce 3D multimedia chips (including dedicated media processor media) for mobile phones and PDA phones in ATI

Processors and 3D accelerators 3D

Accelerator), the old rival NVIDA also showed no weakness, and announced their 3D multimedia chips, which were applied to the smartphones of Mitsubishi and Shenda Shenda.

These chips can effectively improve the graphic display performance after being implanted in the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone has better display effect when performing multimedia demonstrations and games.

However, the products of these manufacturers are all hardware chips. To fully demonstrate their performance capabilities in 3D graphics, they need corresponding supporting APIs to complement each other. At present, the main API is OpenGL released in July 2003.

ES(OpenGL

Systems), an embedded version of OpenGL, is a small standard three-dimensional (3D) graphics application programming interface (API) developed for embedded systems, which is warmly sought after by game developers, mobile phone manufacturers, game engine suppliers and 3D graphics chip companies who are interested in introducing 3D games into mobile devices.

I believe that in the near future, FPS games like CS, DOOM and Quake can also be played on mobile phones.

The other is Microsoft's introduction of Direct3Dm, which is specially developed by Microsoft for mobile devices, where m stands for mobile.

At present, Direct3Dm is still in the development stage.

NVIDIA was released at the 3GSM World Annual Meeting in Cannes, France.

AR 10 is a new product supporting Direct3Dm.

The significance of Direct3Dm is that it will be easier for game makers to transplant games to mobile platforms in the future, and there is no need to use new platforms to design games, thus reducing the cost of game development/transplantation.

At present, ATI products are said to have been integrated into the latest generation of 3G.

FOMA mobile phone F900I, it just uses symbian as the operating system.

This shows that intelligence and 3G applications are the major trends of future game platforms.

Test your mobile phone 1. See if the mobile phone supports MRP: enter #777755999# or #220807#. Is there a response? Congratulations, your mobile phone supports it (the general response is to prompt you to wait or go to wap page). 2.MRP: See if there is one in the memory card of the mobile phone.

or

One of the four folders, that is, where mrp files are stored (some mobile phones have different folder names, and some are in Chinese), put mrp files in mrp folder. 3. Find the list and use your own game list to run mobile phones that generally support mrp (some mobile phones are in the-entertainment and games-game center, and some are in the toolbox ...). Open the game list to see MRP software or games. PS: Some mobile phones support mrp, but you can't find the game list. You can try this method. Of course, you have to make sure that your mobile phone supports mrp first, otherwise it's just a waste of time. How to test the driver file dsm_gm.mrp of the game list mentioned above, and then put it in the mrp folder, that is,

or

One of four. Enter #220807# in standby mode to open the game list.

Dsm_gm.mrp is a file that needs to be used for mobile phones with SKYEngine pre-installed but no game list, because some mobile phone manufacturers block the game list when they leave the factory.
