    The FFVII Mobile Game Initiative (2004-2008 Era)

    I found several text strings within the BREW SDK files that seem to suggest that apps can be "recalled" and removed without the user's consent: %s has been recalled and removed from your phone. %s has been recalled and removed from your phone. Expect further information shortly. This could...

    After two hours of Windows compatibility headaches, I got the BREW SDK and Simulator installed. It looks quite similar, though not identical to Shademp 's post. I think I'm on the right path. This might make it possible to emulate the EZアプリ further down the road if everything goes well and I get...

    Yeah, I'm reading up on what you are doing. Interesting stuff! I'll be sure to let you know if I have any details/questions about the i-appli version as well! Right now trying to install the BREW SDK to see what I can grasp and analyze from it. Though, to run BREW apps on EZWeb phones, you need...

    Asking just in case anyone knows more: 1. Does anyone happen to know of any product/peripheral for Windows/Linux PCs that can transmit and recieve CDMA cellular signals and act as a sort of hotspot for these Japanese cellphones? 2. And is there a way to spoof the phone into thinking a legit au...

    I ordered another W51H via Buyee. While the one I showed in the images above looks brand new, the one I just ordered looks like it has been heavily used (the owner decorated the outside shell). While there is a bigger chance that this one won't have the BC demo on it, there is an equal chance...

    Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize my SIM card (gives an invalid card error). The au website mentions that it can use other SIM cards, but the au KDDI services might not operate on the phone properly. Also, from forum posts it appears these phones don't support GSM, so a...

    Yep, I believe so. And since SE shut down their mobile service in 2018, I guess the only way to have a chance is asking other people or trying to get a hold of a phone with the game and chapter (cache) still on it... :/

    From what I can gather; the Japanese people are kind of in the same boat. Nobody can really download the game anymore, since everything is linked to a specific hardware architecture/phone ecosystem that's heavily DRM protected (certainly for it's time). And once you accidentally deleted the...

    Heya everyone! I'm new here. How's it goin'! I'm still very interested in getting Before Crisis back. Since 2012 or so, I've been looking all around the web for a backup of the game's files, including posts on this site, but alas, still nothing. Not even a single lead... Really perplexing...
