Is there any documentation to make it work in Retroarch for Android? Do i need a MIDI driver or something?

A little late of a reply, sorry, but as far as Retroarch goes, i doubt FreeJ2ME works on Android at all because of the way it interacts with Libretro.

Basically, the core itself is little more than a bridge that connects a standalone freej2me jar (which is treated as a BIOS of sorts but is where all the important stuff really happens) to the Libretro front-end that handles input, audio and pretty much the whole presentation aspect of this emulation.

Android isn't capable of running jars directly AFAIK, so gunning for android compatibility would most likely require a miniature JVM to be launched instead, and ask it to load up FreeJ2ME's jar... or something along those lines, which i don't know if it's even possible and/or feasible.

Does this mean it's not possible to port freej2me to retroarch from the iphone app store?
