Playing Seiken Densetsu Mobile on an European Mobile?

[Shadowdim]

Hi!
I heard about Seiken Densetsu Mobile, and since SD on Gameboy is my favorite SD game, I think I NEED to play it.
But I can't find it Guess it can be played on a Japanese mobile only, right?
Isn't there a way to play it on a french phone? or even on my computer?

No one has ever found an emulated version of it.

You can only get it in Japan through the phone service over there. When I went to Japan and bought Heroes of Mana there were tons of inserts in the box about what site to go to, and it said you've gotta have certain Japanese mobile plans to get it.

There has to be an emulated version though, or else this site could have never been made: http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~burabo-/index.htm

Dig through the links there and maybe something will surface, I've never found anything through it though.

If you find it let us know! FFA is my favorite game of all time!

[Shadowdim]

Yay, thanks, I'll try to find something there :q
I think it's one of my favorite game ever, too.
I played it yesterday night. I was missing the Jadd music (Lester <3)

Naaah. No Rom or such things on this website. But still, they've got soundtracks, complete maps, lots of screenshot, and a japanese BBS which I can't use >.<"
There's a link (in japanese :/) to the World of Mana Website, on the FFA Mobile page, so I think he's saying "follow this link if you want to buy the game, blah blah blah".
How did he get these sprites and screenshots, this is another story.
Maybe he downloaded the game, put it on his computer and used a Japense Cell Phone emulator? ???

I've looked for an emulation of it myself. I came up with nothing though.

Wow! There is a wealth of info and sprites there! It almost makes me want to use those sprites to recreate the game. Haha. Or "Final Fantasy Adventure 2" or something.

I SE would port it to the US and EU. Grrr. Or at least some fan hackers would dump the US GB version script into it and make that available. Argh.

[Dr. Sheexy]

Aw man, went back to the site hoping there would be more sprites done three years later... no dice.
You've made me sad now bastian.

[bastian]

sooooorry. I was just so excited that there was ANYTHING from that remake. Does anyone know how to disect an animated gif into it's various frames?

[Kassidy]

Load it in GIMP. It'll give you a layer per frame.

[bastian]

Thanks so much, Kassidy! I'll give GIMP a shot. I'm really curious about experimenting with these sprites/tiles and maybe making a game with them (I've run into too many issues with my Dawn of Mana remake and put that on the back burner).

[bastian]

Oh jeeze, I didn't realize back then that the site in question had shrunk the tiles and sprites down so small. They would be practically useless in that size. Has any come across full size tiles/sprites from the mobile remake? I'm seriously thinking about creating a fan game.

[Tyler]

I threw a sprite and map in Graphics Gale, I don't think they shrunk it down. The sprites are actually double in size, each "pixel" is actually composed of 4 pixels (2x2) and the maps are the correct size all on a 16x16 pixel per tile system. It looks like you have everything you need graphics wise if you just shrink the sprites down to 16x16.

We'll it doesn't look like it has all the maps though, so you might have to create some.

[bastian]

Whoops, I never came back here to update. Yeah, I realized later that the size was just fine, but that they were missing quite a large chunk of stuff (Mana Tree and whatnot). Ah well.
