JAR

The Java ARchive (JAR) of Prince of Persia: Harem Adventures is a MIDlet for the Java ME (J2ME/phoneME) environment. The file is a ZIP-compressed archive. Many different feature phones exist, and (thus) many different versions of Prince of Persia: Harem Adventures. This article describes the format of the version that ships with pophale, which targets a 176x208 screen, does not use the Nokia UI API, includes unpacked PNG files and unpacked levels.
