Free JAVA games for Samsung D500

I stumbled across a thread on another forum a few days ago where owners were complaining about being unable to load JAVA games onto the D500, like you can with most other phones. I also have the D500 and this annoyed me too. However, it seems that there is now a workaround for this particular limitation. I have tried it and it does work so I thought I would repost it here. I can't see that its illegal in any way as you are simply entering a few codes to unlock hidden menus in the phone, similar to network unlocking. You WILL need a Bluetooth adaptor (sometimes called a Dongle) for this to work. I bought the cheapest one from Ebuyer and it works fine.

The instructions are here!

The two things that seem to be causing this not to work are firewalls and incorrect IP addresses for the phone. You may have to disable your firewall and I would advise that you disconnect from the internet beforehand if you need to do that.

Here's my phone with Rayman3 and Turbo Camels shown (apologies for the poor pics):
