You know you fucked up as a video game company when a flip phone version of Sonic 2 runs better than a Game Boy Advance port of the game that started the series.
With all the amazing work you folks do to preserve these old Japanese cellphone titles, I wonder if it's possible to find the many Tales of titles that once existed, especially the three unique ones: Breaker, Commons, and Wahrheit.
After seeing this, I hope that someone out there can preserve the flip phone version of Mega Man 9. I know it exists bc images of it exist online, but no gameplay was ever shown.
Yeah, I'm on the lookout for that one. I'm sure it runs way better than we think it does, and it's crazy that it even got ported to flip phones at the same time it was on consoles.
NEC synth in the P902iS. The soundtrack sounds nice in it. BTW, since there is this Faith Ring Tone Authoring Tool, maybe decrypting the synth would be a good idea (the tool has various synths in it) to implement it in emulators. Edit: So this is a DoJa emulator, not real hardware. Still sounds nice.
That's probably because it is. Perhaps that is either because whatever sound it used didn't have the capabilities to make the original sound, didn't have enough room to, or the developers didn't program a proper one. Those are only guesses though.
Yeah, or it's the emulator's poor sound emulation. When I played this on the flip phone itself, I don't recall the spin dash sounding like a piano key.
This game came preloaded on all P902iS devices. I personally own a P902iS with the game on it, but it appears the phone is dead beyond repair. However, another user named Xyz was able to dump his working P902iS, which is where the game in the video comes from.

So that's where that 3D Special Stage screenshot came from in the Sonic Retro Forums
Can you link the post?

All because Sega ported the java phone version to GBA instead of the original
Word.
at least it tried to run at 60 fps
@@segahatty I don't think the original ran bad, but they had to make an aniversary game for 2006

I'm just surprised that a mobile phone like that dated back in 2006 was able to handle the special stage
We found it boys.
no

impressive port despite lag
This is awesome, could it be possible to make a download for this? Mainly for ripping the special stage models.
The spin dash sound effect sounds like a piano key

@@RockmanCosmo That's probably what it is. I know that plenty of unknown sounds or the first sounds default to the acoustic piano.
