PS2 mouse but I'm guessing it's not PS/2

Waiting for the day a programming maniac makes Sonic Golf 3D DX run on a 3DS with full 3D compatibility. The game runs on DoCoMo's Star platform, which is based on J2ME.

You've heard of Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded, but what about the *original* Kingdom Hearts Coded? Check out the Japanese Feature Phones table at @liretro.bsky.social to experience this game the way it was made to be played.

Today is a great day because we no longer need to load 10 gif files into an emulator just to play Dirge or Cerberus Lost Episode 😆

So far it's just PS2 but the eventual goal is for it to work with both. Amazingly, it doesn't use a memcard slot—it uses a controller port :o

I've (roughly) scanned the original manual for the MobileWonderGate since I could not find it online. Not only could you browse web and email with the included cartridge, but also, you could download games! I wonder if we will find one of those games one day... archive.org/details/mobi...

The MobileWonderGate enabled the WonderSwan to connect to the internet through an i-mode phone. Some games that used this feature actually have their content saved in the cartridge already, like Rainbow Islands: Putty's Party. Patches linked in video description! youtube.com/shorts/th17Z...

While looking up information about PSX/PS2 games that use the Mobile Phone Connection Cable, I discovered a lot of manual scans are missing from online. So I'm going to start uploading my scans. These aren't the best quality, but hopefully they're better than nothing! archive.org/details/chec...

On the Panasonic P502i, a phone so old that it didn't even support Java i-appli, you can find Mobile GUNPEY as a built-in game. I have no idea how this kind of game can be preserved since it's probably just a binary blob on the chip that only the phone can read. But it's cool! #gunpey

I love when phones are themed! The Sony Ercisson SO212i features the characters from Doko Demo Issyo. If you toggle the "Picture Book" (ポケピの絵本) option, every time you open the phone, you'll be greeted with a message from one of the characters!

ICYMI, @yuvi.app released ReMEXA, an SDK reimplementation for J-PHONE, Vodafone, and SoftBank keitai games! These were competitors to i-mode games. They're finally accessible on Windows, Linux, and Mac. See my video for some featured games! An Android version is in the works too, so stay tuned...

In the late 90s/early 00s, mobile phones were used as modems to connect game consoles to the web. Currently, the REON Team is working to bring back GameBoy features, but I don't know what's out there for WonderSwan and PlayStation. Does anyone know of other projects related to phone peripherals?

We recently recovered Bomberman Special for DoJa, and one amazing discovery I made is that the game is actually TWO applications in one. If you boot the application into "Standby" mode instead of Normal, the app becomes a clock that you can use as a phone wallpaper. Now that's nifty!

Does anyone have a Flipper Zero and a Keitai Tamagotchi? I've just created a repo of .ir files that can be used to send items codes to the Keitai Tamagotchi in place of the original phone app. Much easier than manually inputting 10 digit codes! #FlipperZero github.com/Unabandonwar...

Puzzle & Action: Tant-R is a Japan-exclusive spin-off of Sega's Bonanza Bros. In 2002, Sega released the mobile site Tant-R to distribute mobile ports of the mini-games from the original title. Recently, we recovered one of these mini-games, Tant-R: Hageshii ze (タントアールはげしいぜ) youtu.be/FxnerqYS7qI

Currently testing some keitai games in different emulators. This is the DoJa 3.5 SDK. This game seems to run a bit too fast...

This is a friendly reminder that a lot of the Keitai Archive games run on BREW for mobile and they can't be emulated...yet ;) This is Invader Chain, the aquatic Space Invaders game for mobile #keitai

I know there were some Tokimeki Memorial games released on feature phones. They were highly dependent on servers because the game size limit was so small. The phone would download parts at a time and delete old data as new data came in.

If you were in Japan in 2002, you could have ordered the Bandai exclusive Gundam laptop. Only 3,000 were ever produced! This item is a PC collector's dream. #Gundam #RetroPC ascii.jp/elem/000/000...

I meant to record archival footage of Tecmo's Argus no Senshi: Legendary Warrior for mobile. Unfortunately, I could not maintain an objective lens while playing this game (aka the fart noises made me laugh too hard 🤣) #keitai #tecmo

Jaleco titles such as City Connection, Field Combat, and Pig's & Bomber's (aka Butasan) received mobile adaptations in the 2000s. The mobile versions were re-released by HAMSTER Corp in 2014-2015. Some of Jaleco's mobile game collection is for sale right now as part of the G-mode Archives.

The Hebereke game Ou-chan no Oekaki Desu wa (おーちゃんのお絵かきですわ) was released for i-mode in 2004. This game is currently lost media, but if we are lucky, maybe it will reappear...

For any keitai enthusiast at PAX East this year, I recommend checking out Gravity Co.'s booth, featuring remakes of classic Japanese retro games: Hashire Hebereke EX and the Jaleco Arcade Collection Vol 1. Sunsoft and Jaleco were both prolific publishers during the keitai era!

Oh snap I didn't realize this was a game series. There are some Japanese flip phones that have Take the A-Train as a pre-installed game so I gotta check those out and see if they are related 😱
