W4ME Station brings unmodified WebAssembly cartridges to CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0 devices, including feature phones from the mid 2000s. Thirteen bundled cartridges ship in a 275 KB JAR. The runtime uses no JIT, and the bundled library needs no network connection. Both release variants stay below 300 KB. W4ME Station targets CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0 devices. It is independent from and not endorsed by the WASM-4 maintainers. The release version is 1.0.0. The verified scope and remaining limitations are documented in Compatibility. Development requires Linux with just, Podman, and Distrobox installed. The project toolchain contains JDK 8, ProGuard, KEmulator, WABT, and supporting utilities. Version-sensitive components are pinned by the container definition. Both variants contain the same thirteen cartridges. The base build works on MIDP 2.0 devices that do not implement the optional FileConnection API. Download one matching .jad/.jar pair from the table above and keep both files in the same directory. Use the full build on devices with JSR-75 FileConnection support; use the base build if the full build is rejected or the device lacks that optional API. Open the .jad from the phone's application manager or file manager. If the device does not accept JAD installation, transfer and open the matching .jar directly. Installation details and troubleshooting are covered in Installation.
