Puyo Pop Fever Re:Chained is a modified version of the Puyo Puyo Fever DX (J2ME, Chinese ForceGen Version) mobile game with many features, major improvements, and major bug fixes. This mod will give you a Puyo Puyo Fever 2-like experience with the original Puyo Puyo Fever storylines.

This mod includes 2 versions, the FULL version and the low-end or stripped down version called the LITE version. The FULL version bundled with 2 variants on the SFX audio type, WAV and AMR. The AMR variant supports for most devices, but it has lower-quality SFX, while the WAV variant supports for some devices with higher-quality SFX (11025 Hz) and lower latency (Still, it depends on the phone's CPU).

The FULL version includes many features:

• NEW Town Map / Stage Select System,

• NEW Menu / In-Game Graphics,

• NEW Sound Effects and English/Japanese Voices (Changeable in settings),

• Customizable In-Game Background Themes (Available in Pink (Default), Blue, Orange, and Original Fever),

• Customizable Puyo Skins (Available in Gummy, Aqua (Default), Retro, Fever, and Classic),

• Supports for multiple resolutions and Auto-Adjust screen resolution feature (240x320, 352x416, 400x240, 640x360, 800x352, and more!),

• QWERTY keyboard support, and
• Major bug fixes.

However, the FULL version is only designed for higher-end J2ME-enabled phones with more than 8MB of maximum heap size limit (e.g. Nokia/SE Symbian, Sony Ericsson A100/A200-platform, Samsung, Non-Infineon-based LG phones, Motorola MotoMAGX-platform) and most J2ME emulators (e.g FreeJ2ME / J2ME Loader / JL-Mod, KEmulator Lite 0.9.3 / 0.9.7 / 0.9.8 / 1.0.3 / nnmod). This version does NOT compatible with lower-end Samsung, Infineon-based LG phones, Motorola, Nokia S40v3/v4/v5/v6, and other phones with less than 8MB of maximum heap size limit.

The LITE version lacks some features:

• No Town Map / Stage Select System,
• No Sound Effects and Voices,
• Menu has been simplified,
• Only one Puyo skin available is Aqua, and
• in-game background theme available is Pink.

This version supports most lower-end Samsung, LG, Motorola, Nokia S40v3/v4/v5/v6, and other phones with less than 8MB of maximum heap size limit (4MB for example).

• If you experience a problem while loading sound effects (e.g. Out of Memory error and Game Crashes/Freezes), you can press both Left and Right D-Pad or 4 and 6 key repeatedly at the SEGA / SONIC TEAM splash screen until the red [!] SFX Disabled message will appear on the splash screen. This will disable the SFX functionallity and greatly reduces loading times and memory usage.

(This feature is present for the FULL version only, since Ver. 2.00 Final Release).

If the problem still persists, you can also get the debug build with no SFX capability and try it on some of your phones that having problems with playing sound effects (See "Experimental releases").

• If the game doesn't work on some phones, use the Java Adapter for Mobile Expert Edition / JAM EE adapter tool to make workaround.

• Touchscreen support is currently not supported yet. Alternatively, you can use the Java Adapter for Mobile Expert Edition / JAM EE adapter tool to add touchscreen support by yourself.

The source code for both of the Puyo Pop Fever Re:Chained and Puyo Pop Fever Re:Chained LITE has been released and the source codes are usable for now.

Both of these source codes included with Boilerplate J2ME project build script made by Nokia64.

You can get the source code here.

Feel free to implement some new features or mod the game by yourself! :)
