ICYMI, after 7 months of work, @aid1043.bsky.social finished their English translation patch for all eight Kingdom Hearts Mobile keitai minigames! Preserved last year, this patch even contains recreations of cut content, like bonus puzzles and downloadable cards! (Video credit to Aid)

As of right now, mostly not. I put the bug fixes and animation repairs into a JP copy - the functional stuff - but the extras are just in the English patch

There's a hub app called "KH Avatar Kingdom" (only partially preserved) that allowed you to download the mini-games and episodes of coded. Once downloaded, they could be launched separately and then send rewards back to the Avatar Kingdom for your account.
On an emulator, they'd be their own apps.

Just the mini-games. Sadly, we don't have the data to decrypt and play the original coded yet (though it's getting more likely each year – maybe one day)

Well, KH Mobile was released in 6 chunks over two years, and during that time we also had:
- 358/2 Days
- Birth by Sleep
- 8 (9) episodes of coded, interspersed between

Put it all together and you have – hopefully – someone else's problem -_-

After 7 months of work, my latest project: a full English patch of Kingdom Hearts Mobile! You can play all 8 of these previously-lost mini-games, in English for the first time.

There's puzzle games, card games, rhythm games, and more, and even canon lore!

Apparently, this Monday is the two-year anniversary of my channel! I never believed a simple V CAST video would grow into something like this.

I have a big project that ever-so-coincidentally wrapped up last month, so I guess we're having an anniversary special. Stay tuned for more info!

I felt the "child" thing has some narrative payoff, but no such justification for the other two. That just felt icky.

But now that I'm thinking about it, I guess Salubra's Blessing was a similar joke in HK? It felt weird for different reasons, but food for thought

Did you know? A specific group of Shadows is actually the strongest encounter in Kingdom Hearts, and it only requires a little bit of squinting to make that true.

This wraps up the summer mini-videos, I've got bigger things planned for later this month!

I couldn't let it rest – another hour of coding later, and now we have Sora as a fully functional stand-in for the user avatar

I'm back from my summer hiatus, time to get back to work. Today I fixed #KingdomHearts Rhythm Parade!

The user's avatar *should* be on the left, but the servers are shut down, making it wait forever for animations that will never come. I bypassed this part of the code, restoring the attack cycle!

The first chapter of Edotan (えどたん) was preserved by 2Soulz! Originally released on keitai before being ported to smartphones, Edotan is a detective visual novel by #Capcom. It takes many elements from #AceAttorney. Edotan received a keitai-exclusive sequel, which remains lost to time.
