So Apparently, the 2006 mobile Kingdom Hearts game is the black sheep of the series, and no one aside from myself has ever played it. When digging through the basement yesterday I found my old LG Chocolate which still had the full game installed. I use BitPim to rip the game in it's entirety, and uploaded it in the .zip file below:
https://mega.nz/#!MwpyGRCS!HV_2n872pmCycTJxAzOqmho1bCdrF2Qo2G3xapKZf98
The only problem at this point is actually getting the stupid thing to run. Apparently it was compiled with BREW, a Java alternative for mobile development. That means nothing to me, so I'm at the shit-out-of-luck stage of the process. Still, I figured someone in /v/ might be able to do something with this, so here you go.

I'm afraid this might sink to the bottom of the catalog.
Have a bump
>>344836441
>KINGDOM HEABTS
>>344836441
Bump for interest I guess. These games were such a fucking chore to play, I don't understand how I had fun with mobile games back then. Anyone remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEGQEw8zpGQ

If your special someone can't name all these characters then she is not the one

I have no interest in this game but you emulation/archive niggas are the real mvps
This game is barely a Kingdom Hearts game honestly.
>>344836441
>"Thanks Sora. Today, you were the real Kingdom Hearts."
Seriously Square Enix?
I'm curious to see how shit this is
>>344836805
Sora?
GL. Maybe try a place with more tech people or more KH mega fans. Is there a subreddit for this sort of thing?
Is the Metal Gear Solid mobile game readily playable somewhere? Can this shit be ripped and emulated?

The GENERAL userbase is fucking retarded, but so long as you remain in specific game subreddits, they're usually tolerable.
>>344836441
I can figure something out here, all though it may take me some time. I remember this game too. Personally hated it, but I want to get this game running.
>>344836746
How the fuck did Eraqus not notice that his buddy Xehanort was BRIMMING with blatant evil? HE LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN GARGOYLE!
>>344837384
Just go back there.
>>344837725
can you just shut the fuck up about your "site xenophobia" for one second? stop pretending half this board's posts aren't just crossposts from twitter, blogsites, reddit and 8ch. because i assure you, most of the non-shitposts are just images or copypastes posted on other sites. /v/ is not special. at all.
now sit down in the corner and reevaluate what is so urgently fucking important to you in life.
Wasn't re:coded basically a final mix version of the mobile game?
>>344837980
Different mobile game
>>344837980
Coded was a completely different mobile game retard
>>344837263
Reaching out to as many people as possible is the only way we'll make any progress bringing V-CAST back to life.
>>344838084
>>344838103
Didn't know there were two mobile games. Good to know.
>>344838161
VCast was basically a tech demo, Coded was an actual part of the series.
>>344837550
He looked like a generic shonen rival until he became old. Becoming estranged from friends is a harrowing experience.
>>344837980
Not only was coded a different game entirely, but Re:coded is almost a completely different game. Pretty much the only thing that translated directly was the story.
The gameplay is like night and day.
remember that awful drakengard mobile game? i downloaded that recently
>>344836441
These are all just asset files OP, you need to get the binary which should be a .jar.
>>344838805
I already did a check across the entire file system of the Chocolate, there are no .jar files. I think KH.mod is supposed to be the equivalent.
>>344839374
MOD is a video format
>>344839374
BitPim probably just retrieves asset files and not binaries
>>344838535
I've always wondered if R&C or God of War Mobile were actually decent.

I remember this fucking game.
Swashbuckler Island or something? Man it was trash.
Here's a bump because I want someone to datamine this. It would be mad interesting.
HD texture mod when?

Damn. I was right.
Don't let the dream die, son!

>>344836441
Bumping this because I'd actually love to play it. Going off of what this guy said >>344839886
You should just be able to use the KH.mod file for the binary right?
>>344836441
another fucking game i'll have to play to get caught up before KH3 comes out
bump
No one on /v/ would know how to emulate this shit
bumperino
Go post it in /khg/ in /vg/. Those autist will know what to do.
Amazed that this game has tank controls. It's like no one learnt anything from croc
I uploaded the music if you're curious.

>>344849607
It was for phones, man. And it predates smartphones. This was from way back when flip phones were still the most common type of cell phone.
Don't get me wrong, it's complete shit either way. But you can't expect good controls from a game that's meant to be played using a flip phone's number pad.

If it weren't for the image in the video, would anyone have been able to tell that this was for a fucking Kingdom Hearts game?
>>344850251
Makes sense considering square didnt lay a single finger on it
>>344850251
>That shitty 20 second loop
Can't get enough
someone better get this playable. please
Is there such a thing as phone emulators?
Should ask /g/ or some technology board. Someone probably has to go deep into this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dKz7IKEJe0
>>344850698
I think it might just be about getting BREW files to run on a PC, which I would assume (having no knowledge of Java) is more or less file conversion.
But yeah /g/ would probably know better.
>>344850942
Maybe get Unseen64 or The Cutting Room Floor to look into the files as well.
>>344850698
well, it is a BREW game, so it probably at least requires a phone emulator with some form of JRE in it.
Since it's java (and compiled in Byte format most likely) it's entirely possible for someone to just whip up an emulator specifically for this game.
>>344850898
Okay, no joke. When I read the story text I got confused with the Chaos emerald count.
I thought it said:
>all 1 chaos emeralds
But still......that grammar.
>Sonic becomes werehog and falls down to earth
>>344836441
Holy fucking shit, I never thought I'd see this shit mentioned here.
I got it for some fucking reason, all I remember is it sucked dick, I got stuck in Agraba which was basically a tan square, and it played like the assest of asses.
>>344851091
I don't think gameloft cared anyway, this game sold as much as a bacon sandwich at a bar mitzvah.
>>344836805
everyone in the game is Xehanort
>>344851346
and everyone else is sora
>>344850898
Did they just reuse a bunch of Sonic Advance assets?
>>344851817
yes, along with sonic rush.
>>344836441
Bump
Need this datamined
>>344850251
sounds like runescape desu
>>344836441
>tfw was a major kingdom hearts autist as a kid and regretted never getting to play this
glad I didn't miss much I guess???
How am u supposed to play unchained on pc
back when mobile games started making their debut and phones started getting the ability to wireless use internet, lots and lots of game dev studios wanted to try and cash in on the mobile revolution (yes, dating way back to 2004 even.)
Except Nintendo, because the gameboy was still a huge seller for them.
Lots of big companies like Disney, Activision, Konami,and EA decided that it would be a better idea - instead of training new teams and hiring new staff to develop mobile games - to outsource game IP's.
I used to work at one of these such companies. Around the time that COD MW was getting insanely popular, Activision actually gave our little studio (we are in India) full rights to COD Modern Warfare to make it into a mobile FPS.
4 months of development later, and we get contacted and told that the project needed to be done in a week (we had barely just created a second map)
So we gave Activision what we had, which was essentially a stand still shooting range, and 2 maps that you could play local multiplayer with.
They never sold it. They didn't even tell us they canned it. We found out when we didn't get paid at all.
I still have all the assets for it though. Maybe I should release them
>>344854259
That's really neat, dude.
Shame about the cancellation. Sounds like something I'd expect from Activision, though.
>>344854259
Do it. Send that shit to Unseen64 and Cutting Room Floor and all those guys
>>344854593
I'd recommend this, actually. Those guys would eat that up.
>>344838161
Actually I believe there were 3. coded, KH V-cast though it doesn't count as Nomura/Square had nothing to do with it and isn't canon, and Mobile which Nomura had something to do with but also isn't canon.
>>344854726
Mobile was a companion social app/minigame collection that worked with coded.
Some of its features were included as the Avatar Menu in Re:coded, and one of its minigames was turned into a Flash game to promote Re:coded called Gummiship Studio
>>344849631
Does Swashbuckler's Island feature Superman or something? Holy kek
>>344836441
Best I can do to help: http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Cellphone_emulators
This game wasn't released outside of japan so how did you play it.
Nice virus my boi
>>344856035
>This game wasn't released outside of japan
Yes it was
You're thinking of coded.
>>344856035
>it's a retard doesn't know the difference between Vcast and Coded episode
I hope this gets off the ground. It sounds like a beautiful trainwreck.
>>344836441
Is there anything worse than mid 2000s cell phone games?
Dammit, I want to play this. You'd think there'd be a way now with KHbeing quite popular...
Anyone here played God of War Betrayal? Apparently it's rather easy to emulate and actually decent.
>>344860006
I think it's more about how nobody really played phone games back then, and those that did clearly either didn't have the foresight or didn't have the knowledge to spread the games and make them readily available to the public.
>>344857920
Today's cell phone games.
>>344860006
If it's any consolation, KH V-Cast is non-canon. In one of the Ultimanias, Nomura mentions that Disney made a Kingdom Hearts cell phone game without Square (they could do that because Disney owns the KH IP, not Square), but that he never played it, doesn't know what's in it, and didn't take it into consideration when making the rest of the series.
