MXit v5 on your PC

Update: The official MXit for your PC client has been released! Read more here!

As always, everyone wants to be able to run the latest version of MXit on their PC. So courtesy of Defza, here are 3 steps to getting mxit v5 setup and running on your PC through an emulator.

There is one problem with running the latest version of MXit on your PC. The .jad file expires every day, so everytime you want to run MXit v5 on your PC, you must re-download the .jad file from the official MXit site.

3 steps to run MXit v5 on your PC

  1. Go to www.mxit.co.za/wap and click Download MXit. Then click on Nokia 6270 to start downloading the .jad file and save it on your PC. (The Nokia 6270 version is one of the most compatibile versions.)
  2. Download the Mpowerplay emulator. You can also click here to start Mpowerplay emulator now without downloading it, but this does take longer.
  3. Start Mpowerplay, and open the .jad file you just saved. Thats it!

As you can see, it is quite a process to run MXit v5 on your PC. So why not just use MXit v3 which you don’t have to download everytime you want to run it. Download this mxitk.jad file and run it using MpowerPlay. Or just click here to run MXit right now!

  7. Amy says

    Arrrg. . . I really don’t know what to do.
    I have mxit v3 and v5.4 on my cell phone and both worked well.
    I’ve never had a problem-NOT ONE! But now my v5.4 isn’t working and I have to use v3. So. . .I don’t know what the problem is. But v5.4 just wont connect. It always says “opening” and doesn’t do anything.
    Could you suggest some possible reasons or ways to solve it??

    PLEASE-HELP ME!! xx

    Hi everyone you will need three applications to run mxit on your computer First: (JAVA Virtual Machine from http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
    Second: (Mpowerplayer From http://mpowerplayer.com)
    Thurd: (MXit Application From http://www.mxit.co.za/wap)
    Once java VM and Mpowerplayer are installed on your PC WinXp then download the mxit application and save to your desktop.
    Then open mpowerplayer application in (start menu/all programs/Mpowerplayer) once open click on file/open you should get a explorer window, then select desktop or where you saved the mxit file that you downloaded and run it, mxit will now start. If you put in the incorrect cell phone number and you are unable to change it then click on the mpowerplayers file/clear game memory while you are running the mxit application this will reset the stored info for mxit.
    If you get a wrong pin error or from the downloaded mxit version then reset game memory and redownload the mxit application and run after memory clear.
    If you have a registration problem just reset game memory and then just use another cell number and re-register but just put your don’t send cell info setting on mxit to on, then you can logon your pc and on cell phone.

    hey i’m overseas and i kept using my mxit how can i be able to use it and download it on my new phone??

  27. Craig says

    Hi, whenever I try running the emulator I receive a response that reads “an error has occured” meaning I cant open Mpowerplayer. My mxit has always worked fine, but for the past 2weeks Ive been getting this weird response.
    please assist…
    Kind Regards

  28. Craig says

    Glen Wang you can chat to your mxit contacts via Gmail – so set up an account on gmail, the only catch is that your contacts have to invite you as a Jabber contact, and you can also get gmail on your phone. you yourself cannot invite others… hope this helps you.

  38. India Inc says

    Hi guys, I really need your help. I was using the V3 mxit with mpowreplayer and it was working fine until today when it said that the version is old and I should download the latest version. I then did the Load v5.0 for Nokia-6270 method, but when I open the .jad file (31140167183D8FU.jad) I downloaded, it says “there was an error opening the application data for…”. Is there something I missed? I then tried the mxit 5 defZA.com.jad method, and it seemed to be working until I log in. Then it says “This version of MXit has been tampered with. Please delete it and download the latest version from http://www.mxit.co.za/wap“.
    MxitPC keeps on bombing out. So how can I get mxit to work on my PC? I dont care witch version it is.

    Thanks
