Hello everyone!

We are excited to share updates about recent initiatives at Hit Save! to create community resources for dumping data from Japanese feature phones.

New guides on dumping.guide

If you visit dumping.guide, you'll find a new set of links in the menu for "Phones." These are guides for dumping data from pre-Android/iOS phones. Currently, these guides only cover dumping methods for some Japanese feature phones. Hopefully, the guide can grow in the future to include phones from other regions of the world.

While the Phones section is a work in progress, our section for dumping data from Docomo feature phones is nearly complete. It can already be used to properly dump data from most Docomo phones.

The Phone section of dumping.guide may not be 100% complete for a while because there are some phones we do not know how to dump yet. However, we are making updates to these guides regularly as new information is discovered.

New preservation community equipment

If you look at the Preservation Community Equipment Request form, you will now see an option for a FOMA debug adapter, used to dump data from Docomo and Softbank feature phones. These debug adapters are already in our possession, and they are ready to be lent out. If you would like to borrow a FOMA debug adapter, please fill out the form, and we will contact you as soon as we can.

Progress on SquirrelJME and DoJa emulation

If you missed it, our Hit Save! Update Q1 2025 includes a project update for SquirrelJME. Xer Shadow Tail is continuing to work on SquirrelJME compatibility with DoJa, and it is already able to load some DoJa games!
