Compatibility issues I found, and some questions about freej2me

[raidenii]

Lastly, will we ever see the Libretro core for FreeJ2ME in RetroArch's core updater?

+1 on this. SquirrelJME does not run anything. While FreeJ2ME is far from perfect, it surely can run a very good amount of J2ME games.

I can report another imcompatibility I found:

Metal Slug STG - the games loads fine, but all sprites are missing, effectively rendering the game unplayable. Screenshots:
FreeJ2me:

KEmulator mod:

Yesterday I found there is a freej2me branch develop by AShiningRay which has solved many compatibility issues. Maybe you could give it a try. https://github.com/AShiningRay/freej2me/releases

AShiningRay is an active contributer (thank you AShiningRay) to this project and yes I am aware of his fork. The issue I mentioned also exists on his fork, though.

I just found his fork yesterday, before that I thought this project is unactiva given the lastest version on sourceforge shows 2018 and no releases here. And yes, there are still some issues, for example, when I playing zombie infection many sound effects echo twice. Hope it will be addressed in the future. Thank you to all the contributers of this project.

We're not inactive, we're just really busy. :) I do plan to updating the version on SourceForge, it's just a low priority.

Hello all. I did write that message with a recent FreeJ2ME version used (not the 2018 one from SF), and I know about AShiningRay's releases, I haven't tried the compiled libretro core from him but it seems very useful to have. Thank you all for the replies.
