Hi. In the last year there’s been a fair amount of work done [https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7509.0 reverse engineering the Mobile Adapter]. One thing that would be useful is any extant data from the News Machine. Do you happen to have any surviving save files or cartridges from that time period that touched the Mobile Adapter, or know someone who does? If so, I’d love if you’d email me at [email protected].

:I'm very sorry for butting in to a private discussion (although I doubt that Chris, who's been inactive in the fandom for years, will reply, but maybe?) but in the context of Mobile Adapter, I think that there is one thing that ''might'' be worth a try. I know the chances are slim, practically zero but maybe the Japanese VC Crystal is based on a version that has been patched via Mobile Adapter and does feature things like Mobile events and News Machine content (just not accessible during the normal gameplay, but they may be programmed in). Have dataminers already tried that? Also, has anyone documented the details of Japanese VC Crystal - like how Egg Ticket or Battle Tower work (although if there was anything spectacular there, I guess we'd know it by now). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 08:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

:IIMarckus: My Japanese Crystal never went online, so I do not have any first-hand access to this information.  I no longer have contact information for anyone I could ask who may have had such data.  I imagine there's probably someone out there somewhere who backed up their saved game data before their game battery expired, but I am unaware of anyone specific who would have. --[[User:ChristopherFritz|ChristopherFritz]] ([[User talk:ChristopherFritz|talk]]) 11:58, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
