those game installed in the phone, is it a way to extract it out as .jar file like those we downloaded from the net?

so that next time if i hard reset/flash my phone and lost the game that was previously installed, i can reload back the .jar file to install it back

No, you can't do anything now.... But I recall there was a tutorial on how to backup games on M9 when you buy them..... You should check there..... [addsig]

Unfortunately I have found no way possible to remove the default games (Super Real Tennis, etc). You could try downloading them from the SE Wap site to see if that removes the protection, however.

All other games can be moved! ‘Manage files’ and move the game to the memory stick, then plug the phone into USB, navigate to: G:MSSEMCSystemams and backup all the files from there.

This is handy for those Phone Clubs that make you pay a packet to download games. This saved me a few bob when I upgraded the firmware (even though the games were on the external memory – they were still erased).

I should notd that even with backing the games up like this – user data such as save games and settings, still seems to be removed.

wow thanks, i moved king kong to external memory and copy the files inside (there were 8 files with funny extensions, is this normal?) to my pc, i hope i can backup them ok (maybe it won't work when i copy them to my phone next time)

thanks a lot!

Yeah, I copied all the files (including the 'db' folder) to be on the safe side, but as it turned out - all I ended up needing to do after reflashing the phone was copy the largest of the files into the "Other" folder on the Memory Stick, and then just execute that file from the phone (the option should be to Install).

I'm sure there is a reason for all the other files being there, but am yet to work out what (No doubt someone out there knows!). Probably just to save game data, but my games worked fine just by copying the one file.
Is King Kong any good?
Let me know how it goes!

king kong is very fun!
especially when controlling kong, i don't quite like the puzzles when playing human, it's like simple puzzles but need time to do them... waste time hehe

but playing kong is way fun, the motion of kong is very smooth

Where might it be possible to get it? Without exactly paying money for it? I must say I'm a bit sick of all these poorly-put-together games for mobiles - need some more quality!

Have you heard of Worms for mobile? I've tried without success to get that for the K750i!
