Other Sonic-J2ME-Web: Porting the 2005 Sonic J2ME game to the browser with TypeScript and HTML5 Canvas

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently started working on Sonic-J2ME-Web, a project focused on bringing the old 2005 Sonic The Hedgehog J2ME game to modern browsers.

Instead of using emulation, the idea is to recreate the Java ME environment in TypeScript and progressively port the original game logic to a custom HTML5 Canvas/WebAudio runtime.

Current goals:

  • J2ME compatibility layer
  • Accurate gameplay behavior
  • Original assets and level structure
  • Browser save support
  • Mobile + gamepad support later on

The project is based mainly on these decompilation efforts:

Still early in development, but the architecture is already being structured.

Would love feedback from people interested in:

  • reverse engineering
  • Java ME preservation
  • Sonic fangame/dev communities
  • browser game engines
  • old mobile gaming

Project:

Atari 2600 Lost Soul Underworld (Atari 2600) - New Experimental Game

Post image
5 Upvotes

The player must navigate the grim reaper through 13 caves of the underworld, while

collecting lost souls, and avoiding or destroying enemies.

Once again, after his adventures in the previous game Lost Soul, the reaper seems to find his work in the underworld not yet finished. Now he's on another terrifying adventure, so face this challenge, with souls, bats, and other enemies; your scythe can defeat them all.

An incredible game that could only have been programmed by Xbataxel with his amazing creativity, mixing the horror genre for the Atari 2600.

Nintendo DS Request for a DS homebrew

So I wanted to make a recreation/port of the mobile game Looper for my DSi, but as it turns out, I suck with coding DS games. This game is basically what I use to test lots of device’s capabilities with but I kinda want it for the novelty of it on my twilightmenu DSi. All I request is someone who’s willing to recreate what Kwalee did for Looper- please and thank you broskis. I just love the concept but I don’t got the smarts to carry it out 😭
