Great video. Our studio made Munkiki’s Castles for Nokia back in those heady, J2ME days. And you tried Super Bloc Bloc, which was also a game from our studio (the designer and coder of Super Bloc Bloc now runs Bitmap Bureau). Munkiki’s Castles was a strange venture for sure - Nokia aimed so high and so few people ever got to play it.
@@EmilyKimMartin That’s right! Super Bloc bloc was one of Mike’s first games and now he’s making ground breaking games for Mega Drive, Neo Geo and countless other platforms.
I randomly stumbled across this video and comment. I loved Munkiki's Castles as a child, so it was kind of refreshing to hear that people have searched for ways to play it for years.
I used to work in a Nokia repair centre back in the late 90s early 2000s and used to fix about 30 of these a day, they were so simple to fix and Nokia used to allow a full refurbishment for all warranty repairs , phones used to come in looking like they were through a tour in Afghanistan and left looking brand new 😅
I did the same workimg for Vodafone’s Commumications Repair Centre in Nottingham. Like you said, we could foash 10phones in one second all at once (used to love that) change voltage meters etc, swap parts and leave the factory that same day. Nokia’s are like Lego. Miss that job ………
I've even patched FreeJ2ME emulator to properly run this game. I couldn't beat Munkiki's Castles back than on my 3410 because it "saved" me on level 0. Which doesn't exist and is generated from garbage. Most of the time you drown instantly.
If you enjoy these more in depth videos then let me know. These take lots of time to make and I like hearing your thoughts. This one was a fun one to make. I learned heaps more about the 33xx series models. And I've been able to play some great games in the process. Here is the link to PMM Manager by Jeep. I spent a good couple of hours searching for this software after reading about it in forums. Finding this was the key to this entire story. The Internet Archive really is an amazing resource. web.archive.org/web/20080417092036/www.knopas.neostrada.pl/download.htm I'm going to try making some less involved videos that are faster to produce. Though, I keep saying that and then find myself going down endless rabbit holes. Whatever happens, I hope you keep enjoying these videos as much as I enjoy making them.
Thanks for the link. Time for me to look though my stuff for the my cables. But the firmwares and software i had back then are long gone. Only backup i really have is the firmware that is on my hacked Nokia 3350.
Thank you for the link! After hours of looking, I found the program pretty much by accident in a folder of Nokia related programs I got from chomikuj, in a rar archive that was called "zmiana zawartosci emproma 3410"... and it's also been here the whole time. Oh well, archaeology happens. Edit: also, the one I found does run on Win98, though it's less comfortable to use on the 800x600 screen of my Armada
I have everything that I was able to find for 3310-3410 on my Google Drive, if someone needs some firmware or software let me know. I don't know if I can post a link with such an archive here
I remember being like 9 or 10 and i downloaded Munkiki's Castle on my uncle's 3410, making him additional cost to the phone bill, which was expensive in Romania back then. I got punished pretty hard for it, if i remember correctly, but at least i was allowed to play the game when i was at my uncle's home 😂. Thank you for reminding me of it, i think i didn't see this game since 2004-2005
because of these three videos with Nokia DCT 3 phones I ended up buying a couple of lots with good and bad Nokia 3310, 5110 and their modifications, service cables, JAF flasher, and everything. Now I have five 3310 in good condition, I modified one of them with white LEDs, one Korean 3315, one good 3330, three 3410, one with limited edition Space Impact cover, and second is silver in mint condition still with factory screen protector on (got this one for 10$), two 5110 in great condition with 6 batteries for them, and a whole box with covers, parts, motherboards, screens that you can put together and make another ten 3310 ones. I just can't stop now😂 Many sellers sell these devices very cheap in broken, not a working condition, but after cleaning some contacts on the motherboard and power button itself the motherboard works great again
You're technically preserving a lost ancient treasure with the 3410 games that might be the first 3D mobile games. This could be a new discovery. You have a new sub. Please keep stufff like this coming
Yes, this could be the first mobile 3D game! Many other people have also worked to preserve this game. I'm just pleased to have been able to show how it can be added to original hardware.
Amazed by the presentation and time put to discover the true potential of a Nokia "brick" from ancient time. Both Nokia and you deserve applauds. Subbed!
I used to write games for this, along with the other J2ME phones - mostly sold them into China and Finland. Made versions of Pacman (screen scrolled up/down to follow action), Pengo, Donkey Kong and some other platformers. I think we were limited to about 30Kb for everything - code, graphics and audio at the time :) There is no "3D engine" in the phone - the game itself just draws directly to the display.
Nokia designed a 3D engine that was provided to their licensed second party game designers. It's documented in depth on one of the phone forum he mentions it's never been leaked but we have the full documentation for it. It only worked on the 3410.
@@Stabby666 it's a long time since I read up on this, so my knowledge isn't as sharp as it was, but I know Nokia developed a 3410 3D engine of some kind, that only worked on the 3410 using built in "hooks" as Nokia described them that they'd left in that specific model
Munkiki's Castles looks fantastic, yes it runs a bit slow but wow! impressive what this old thing can do! Loved the 3310 back in the day such an iconic phone!
my dad did this kind of stuff when i was young. he owned one of these and my mom had one. he used to be big on working on tech stuff but got out of it later in life. love these phone videos feels like time traveling back to watch my dad show me all the things he knew, used to do much he remembers when i jog his memory be mostly forgot. gotta watch this with him one of these days :D
unbelievable... i never thought these phones were THAT powerful. i'm in awe i got a 3310, 3330 and a 3410 just lying around. just gotta get me a flash thing and get experimenting
Thank you for unlocking a memory, and a realisation, that probably Munkiki's Castle was the first 3D game I ever player. My brother used to have a 3410. Great content and hardware modding skills 👌
That phone was a killer. Greatly engineered, small, light, with a long battery time, yet cheap to build. The keypad was also great. I replaced the standard MiMH battery with a Litium-ion one, original from Nokia, and was very happy with it. I bet if I check, I'll find the battery still holds the charge.
Wow I love this 3310 series. From 3310 to 3315, 3350, 3410.. love to see 3510.. So it means all our upgrades from 3310. Nokia is sooo ahead of its time. The Splinter Cell game was so nostalgic. I always play it every 4am just to finish it. Wow. Thanks for the video. I love it. I wanna see more upgrades on your next videos hopefully
Wow! This is the kind of content I am looking for. Classic old Nokia phone flashing, custom, and gaming. Can't really fathom how such small device with very limited resource hardware can pull this feat.
This is my most favorite in depth old hardware tinkering channel so far. I am glad that I found your channel and it is hella underrated. Keep it up and wishing you luck!
@@JanusCycle Have you ever done any projects on Arduino? There are code libraries for Nokia 5110 screens (which I think it's specwise the same as the 3110?) which you can use to create cool low-spec devices/apps.
Wow thank you for this. I have a later model Nokia phone with the ability to upload apps from a PC, gonna have fun trying all those games you recommended!
I had both the 3310 and the 3450. I also used pmm manager back in the day with a serial cable. My dad's old Nokia 3310 has his face when you turn it on and off, extra games and other stuff which I installed for him and myself. I remember people used to pay me to add new games and custom logos to their phones.
I wanted to come back and say i would love to see this concept made into a series by you, phone after phone. Flashing all the classic fun nokias for example would be wild to see
Really good content highly appreciated. 3310 had a powerful popularity in my country (Turkey). It was cheap and almost indestructible object. There were lots of memories and memes about its toughness. :)
I love the interfaces and aesthetics of these old nuggets of the 90s and 00s, especially the LG and Samsung ones from 2002 - 2010ish. I wish that someone would make MAME / RetroArch cores that would preserve these old phones. I would love to see something like the Samsung SCH-A630 and the LG VX4400 as a computer program, these old phones can't be any more challenging to emulate or be more powerful than a DS.
I was sat here expecting a fun little Nokia video from a channel I just discovered, and then you throw a childhood memory at me, Munkiki's Castle. I played it once or twice on my Nan's phone as I'm pretty sure now she had the 3410 whilst my Granddad kept running with the Nokia 3310 or a later version of it. (He was a bit of a tech enthuesiast.)
In 2004, I got my first phone, Nokia 3410 and it had Munkiki's Castle, a game I played alot of. It was 3D and had frame drops when there were to many things on the screen. I want to mention it was the EU version 3410
omg i remember munkikis castles. and i still have it on one of my 3410 phones that i put aside because i didnt want to scrap them. didnt knew that i was lost media 😂
Ive been looking for a channel like this for a long time, LOVED the video. I used to love soft modding and playing around with apps and games on my s60 devices
@@JanusCycle I had so much fun with those devices. s60 through s60v3 was just amazing to me at the time. emulators for retro game systems, its own gaming platform that can be patched onto any of the unofficial devices, expandable memory, plenty of models with more advanced stuff like tv out and controller support. they could emulate the gba which was still on sale at the time and play it on a tv. just so much fun tinkering.
unbelieveable work i don't even imagine this classic phone can run this game, even 3d game as well very nice work sir🙏🙏🙏 you deserve to have million subs now i want to buy nokia 3310 just to play space impact cuz this game bring me so nostalgic moment in the past, play this game when i was kid😅
i like the indepth videos you make and i have seen these phones back in 1999 rarely i have a family member who had a nokia 3310 or some nokia model similar like that in 1999 and my mom had a nokia candy bar phone in 2003 or 2004
Sheeeeesh, I remember playing a 3d cube game on an old Nokia when I was like 5 y.o. I couldn't remember what it was.... Thanks Janus, I'll be enjoying it this fine evening, you get a sub and a like from me!
I had a 3310 with the flashing cable. I was able to upgrade to the 3315 flash. Then I modded with custom ringtones like 150 or so, all the ringtones were made by me using a midi editor. I also made some pictures that got publish in some magazines and were they sold them by sms. Later I bought 3510 which had polyphonic ringtones and Java on a monochromatic screen, the same as the 3350, after that one I got I 3510i which was basically the same phone but with 256 color display. I loved those phones.
Ohh. Munkiki's Castle was the name of that game. I played that game in the past when it suddenly appeared on my nokia back then. But that was when I can only play the game and not the other games.
What a wonderful video! I just recently found Nokia 3510i in the attic and I've already bought a data cable. Can't wait to start modding it. :) Thank you for the inspiration! :)
Be aware the 3510i has DCT4 chipset which doesn't support these mods. It can certainly run those old Java games though.

@@JanusCycle, thank you for pointing that out. Since you are the only expert in this topic I know, I'm asking whether you know of or can recommend any good repository/web page where I can find mods and Java games for my 3510i? Would greatly appreciate any feedback. 🙂
@ There are game packs on archive.org such as archive.org/details/Over5000MobileGames Finding the good games can take time. I also search for top lists to find recommended game to try out first from the game packs.

@@JanusCyclewonderful! Thank you for jump-starting this new hobby/project of mine. Keep up the good work. 😊
@@JanusCycle I've actually been meaning to figure out that little five pin connector on the inside of the battery compartment. I've wanted to do the same kind of experiments you've done as I've amassed about four or five 3585i motherboards. Is there a good resource in starting out in this?
@@parkerlreed The pinout is similar to the 3310, but you might have to build a custom connector to go under the battery. With a serial or USB cable you should be able to upload games and graphics.
13:52 Wow, I remember playing Munkiki's Castles on my father's 3410 a lot, circa 2004-2005, after getting bored of Snake. At the time I didn't realize that it so ahead of it's time, but later when I got my first java phone, the first thing I did was to find games on wap sites.
On my 3510i which had a colour screen, I used to play a ten pin bowling game, downloaded from the Nokia game servers. Also this mine cart game on my 3315 before I had the 3510i, where you guide this cart though different mine tracks trying not to full off. RAIL RIDER thats it thanks dude, finally after all these years I can remember the name again. Just subbed by the way, you tube recommended you based on my love of retro tech. PS your voice is really soothing.
I remember that I had that "Munkiki's Castle" game and I accidentally deleted it. Then I spent quite a lot of time trying to find it. It was even not on every Nokia 3410. Finally, almost 20 years later I learned what is the correct spelling of its name and where to find it 😀 .

I played munkikis Castle as a kid! So awesome to hear the music again! Thanks for uploading!
Ah yes the phone that you charge when you open it on you birthday, then the next time you charge it, its your next birthday
The phone that never dies just got upgraded
i like the indepth videos you make and i have seen these phones back in 1999 rarely i have a family member who had a nokia 3310 or some nokia model similar like that in 1999 and my mom had a nokia candy bar phone in 2003 or 2004
Bring so many memories. N3410 was my forst phone and I bought it becouse if JAVA and wap addition over N3310
If John Wick had a phone...
These videos about old mobile phones are mind-blowing.
I wish I could go back to the before times where things were simple and phones were indestructible
Wow very nostalgic a lot of people had these phones i remember some of the games you showed i had forgotten about them.
I'm so glad I've been able to bring some back. It's been real fun playing them.
Sheeeeesh, I remember playing a 3d cube game on an old Nokia when I was like 5 y.o. I couldn't remember what it was....
Thanks Janus, I'll be enjoying it this fine evening, you get a sub and a like from me!
Really enjoyed being able to bring this game back to original hardware again. Glad you enjoyed this, thanks.
No idea how I got here, but glad I did
I had a 3310 with the flashing cable. I was able to upgrade to the 3315 flash. Then I modded with custom ringtones like 150 or so, all the ringtones were made by me using a midi editor. I also made some pictures that got publish in some magazines and were they sold them by sms.
Later I bought 3510 which had polyphonic ringtones and Java on a monochromatic screen, the same as the 3350, after that one I got I 3510i which was basically the same phone but with 256 color display. I loved those phones.
Ohh. Munkiki's Castle was the name of that game. I played that game in the past when it suddenly appeared on my nokia back then. But that was when I can only play the game and not the other games.
I am stunned by your technowizardry!
You should check out the 5510 which basically has a 3330 stuck inside it with FM radio and MP3 player
Very interesting phone, I would really like to find one.
I had one of those! QWERTY keyboard too!
@@shaunclarke94 I got one in late high school from dick smith it was cheaper than an MP3 player alone. Cool phone for the time.
Interestingly enough, the MP3 files were supposedly encrypted hence why you needed a special program to sideload them to the 5510.
@@blakegriplingph yeah it transcoded them to aac or something from memory
Level Master ! 😊 Incredible skills! Congratulations 😁
i enjoyed this thank you for the content
What a wonderful video! I just recently found Nokia 3510i in the attic and I've already bought a data cable. Can't wait to start modding it. :) Thank you for the inspiration! :)
Be aware the 3510i has DCT4 chipset which doesn't support these mods. It can certainly run those old Java games though.
@@JanusCycle, thank you for pointing that out. Since you are the only expert in this topic I know, I'm asking whether you know of or can recommend any good repository/web page where I can find mods and Java games for my 3510i? Would greatly appreciate any feedback. 🙂
@ There are game packs on archive.org such as archive.org/details/Over5000MobileGames
Finding the good games can take time. I also search for top lists to find recommended game to try out first from the game packs.
@@JanusCyclewonderful! Thank you for jump-starting this new hobby/project of mine. Keep up the good work. 😊
I love this SO much, thanks for the great video ❤️
I had Nokia 3410 15-20 years ago. What an amazing CPU! and sow much tinkering is possible - I never knew.
(LIKE, FAVORITE, BOOKMARK) Thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing. 😉👌🏻
this channel is gonna be my coffee channel
3585i is my absolute favorite. Has the 96x65 screen, Snake II, and 4 way d-pad. What more could you want.
Nice model, great for Java games!
@@JanusCycle I've actually been meaning to figure out that little five pin connector on the inside of the battery compartment. I've wanted to do the same kind of experiments you've done as I've amassed about four or five 3585i motherboards. Is there a good resource in starting out in this?
@@parkerlreed The pinout is similar to the 3310, but you might have to build a custom connector to go under the battery. With a serial or USB cable you should be able to upload games and graphics.
An Chinese TH-camr brought three Nokia 3410 and have this munkiki game all preinstalled
Great job! Thank you for sharing!
I had these games as a toddler. Good times.
3210 has a special place in my heart. First phone I bought from wages of first job.
This is awesome! Well done.
13:52 Wow, I remember playing Munkiki's Castles on my father's 3410 a lot, circa 2004-2005, after getting bored of Snake. At the time I didn't realize that it so ahead of it's time, but later when I got my first java phone, the first thing I did was to find games on wap sites.
On my 3510i which had a colour screen, I used to play a ten pin bowling game, downloaded from the Nokia game servers. Also this mine cart game on my 3315 before I had the 3510i, where you guide this cart though different mine tracks trying not to full off. RAIL RIDER thats it thanks dude, finally after all these years I can remember the name again. Just subbed by the way, you tube recommended you based on my love of retro tech. PS your voice is really soothing.
Bro keep going , great content
Thanks man, I appreciate hearing that.
I remember that I had that "Munkiki's Castle" game and I accidentally deleted it. Then I spent quite a lot of time trying to find it. It was even not on every Nokia 3410. Finally, almost 20 years later I learned what is the correct spelling of its name and where to find it 😀 .
I played in my early years Munkiki Castle on my 3410 every day
