Hi
Assuming I can copy some1s jar to my computer (is this possible for installed applications?)… and open it then I could easily manipulate the images, including the logo, etc, repackage and brand it as my own j2me game.
Is this actually possible… or are their ways to prevent this, or do you guys all crypt your image data in a totally different format?
Thanks
Not worth the hassel.
Portability, readability and maintainability are all negatively effected, for no gain what-so-ever.
The only reason for using a custom format is where it has a positive performance benefit.
Any form of packing and obfuscation of assets is incredibly easy to reverse engineer, given the decompiled midlet sourcecode.
As with any digital media, the only cost effective protection for intellectual property is the law.
The best reason to mangle with your graphics is in order to find ways to save jar space.
