Run J2ME MIDlets in the browser with TypeScript and WebAssembly-free Java byte-code interpreter.

A hobby VM that boots real J2ME byte-code (CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0 subset) inside modern browsers.

✨ No plug-ins, no WebAssembly – just a TypeScript interpreter, Canvas-based LCDUI and Web Audio.

• VM Core Complete - Exception Handling & Execution Engine 🎉🚀 (23:00)

  • Complete exception handling logic with automatic stack frame unwinding
  • Exception handler lookup with PC range checking and type matching
  • Full exception table support including finally blocks (catchType = 0)
  • Enhanced Interpreter with try-catch wrapping and error reporting

• VM Core - Type Checking, Synchronization & Switch Instructions (22:50)

  • Type checking instructions - instanceof and checkcast with type compatibility checking
  • Synchronization instructions - monitorenter and monitorexit with MonitorManager for reentrant locks

  • Comparison instructions - lcmp, fcmpl, fcmpg, dcmpl, dcmpg with proper NaN handling

• VM Core - System Class Loading & Object Instructions (21:15)

  • System class loading architecture - CompositeClassPath and SystemClassPath for flexible class loading
  • Object creation instructions - new instruction for object instantiation
  • Method call instructions - invokespecial, invokevirtual, invokestatic
  • Return instruction series - return, ireturn, lreturn, freturn, dreturn, areturn
  • Enhanced runtime environment - Improved JavaObject and JavaThread with proper stack frame management

• Node.js 12.20.55+

• Performance: BigInt-based long math (100× faster than ASM.js)
• Threading: Cooperative green threads with Object.wait/notify
• Extensible: Easy-to-add native methods via registry pattern
• Type-safe: Full TypeScript implementation with strict typing

Because flip-phone games deserve a second life in the browser tab.

Thanks to Mozilla's PluotSorbet for first proving that "running MIDlets in the browser without plugins" is possible, which sparked the initial inspiration for this project.
