  1. Open the .jar file using WinRAR
  2. Open the META-INF folder and drag the MANIFEST.MF file to your desktop.
  3. Open MANIFEST.MF in Notepad and type at the end:

    Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176 ,208
    Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352 ,416
  4. Save the MANIFEST.MF file and drag the file back into WinRAR and press OK.

Please Note:
  • The Original Display Size is the actual resolution of the game.
  • The Target Display Size is the resolution you want the game to be displayed at on your phone, for example 352 ,416 is the resolution of the Nokia N80. Please be aware that the resolution of a game can be resized larger but not smaller.

On most Sony Ericsson phones there is an option to change the screen size. All you need to do is highlight the game >> More >> Screen Size

If you haven't got the screen size option on your Sony Ericsson phone, then unfortunately there is no current way to change the resolution.
