Hi all,
I came accross your thread on google, decided to register. I've got the 8700c Blackberry, and I downloaded the J2ME version of VNES, version 1.2. Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but this version comes pre-packaged with instructions (readme.txt) and a batch file to compile the emulator into a JAR file (assuming you already have the Java SDK loaded somewhere already). Once it's compiled it's not hard to get onto your blackberry and get up and running.
You download the Blackberry JDE, and install that on your desktop/laptop whatever, I installed it in the default location. "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0"
From their I followed the instruction for converting a jar file to a .COD file.
I placed the vnes.jar file I created into the \bin directory of the BlackBerry JDE "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0\bin" and then
ran the conversion from this directory exactly as follows.
rapc import="c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 4.2.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=vnes -midlet vnes.jar
this created the vnes.cod file which then you can load by typing the following command (assuming you've connected your blackberry via the USB cable:
javaloader -usb load vnes.jar
that's it! Now it should be loaded on your blackberry 8700c with a nice icon. I reset the screen size to 50, and remapped all the buttons, but it seems to work pretty good. You can press the little "enter" button on the blackberry to initially get it going. I tested it with metroid and it works fine. Keep in mind the Java version has no sound.
