Welcome to Esato

Which phone do you have, and are you trying to install java or mophun games? If it's not one of the Pxxx phones, for java games you usually just have to transfer the .jar game file to the root directory of the phone, i.e. not into any particular folder, just the first folder that your phone browser screen shows. The phone should then automatically detect and install the game. Not sure about mophun games because I've never tried it but I suspect that it's pretty similar, only you might have to transfer all of the game files first if there's more than one. I'm sure somebody else will correct me / clarify this matter for you.

If your installing java games on a pxxx phone, you usually just transfer them to any folder that the SE phone browser will let you (usually one of the 'unfiled' folders) and then click on it with the stylus in your phones 'file manager' app. Non-java games for Pxxx phones should arrive as a .sis file, which will install the game automatically over the data cable when you open the .sis file on your computer.

I dont think you have to actually 'install' the game, just transfer it to the phone and it should work when you open it from the phone.
