Suzuran Library's Game Repository is finally live!
We've spent a lot of time getting a majority of games, demos, and more from the Puyo Puyo/Madou Monogatari series 3DS downward.

LOST MEDIA FOUND!
Puyo Puyo DX for i-mode, which was lost media, has been added to the drive!
Puyo Puyo Fever DX for i-mode has been added as well.
You can play them using the DoJa SDK emulator and Dojaject.
Thanks to xyz, and /bin/cat (usernameak) for dumping them!
UNSEEN FOOTAGE from Puyo 15th Pachislot!
Right now we can't record with a capture card, and we used a weak dongle here that doesn't output the right size. But it's progress! We'll update you on this journey.
HUGE thanks to
@Toaru_Junker_T
for all this, and YOU for your support!
[Please RT]
A Puyo 15th Pachinko Slot Machine is on sale on Mercari! It goes for 340 US dollars, + shipping. We have someone in japan who will dump the system!!
Our goal is to get to 470 USD, so if you can, please donate to our GoFundMe!
The Puyo 15th Pachinko Slot HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY US!
We'll update you when it arrives. We'll also refund excess donations once the operation is done!!

The Game Preservation Society (@/gamepresintl), an organization that has preserved many mobile phones, and got access to many Java i-Mode games, have found the Device Key to decrypt the games!
Here's a list of all Puyo franchise games they have that they'll eventually decrypt!
Alright, people are very excited, but we should address the situation.
Our current plan is to record high quality playthroughs and upload them. We're going to purchase a capture card, a special board to get HDMI output, and some tools to record the audio. It will take a while 1/2
An online listing for Puyo Puyo! Pachislot has recently been posted on Mercari. We're currently looking into finding someone who would be able to hold onto this machine and help preserve the assets if bought. Please message us if you are able to help with handling this!

I love the item description.
"This was more boring than I thought it would be, so I am putting it up for sale"
Lol.
(It's a slot machine, what did you expect, man? Just rip the animations and be done with-)
Puyo Puyo Fever N - RunRun Course for i-mode has been added to the drive. It's a demo that came preinstalled on NEC docomo phones, and it only contains the 3-level RunRun course.
You can play them using the DoJa SDK emulator and Dojaject.
Thanks to xyz for dumping it!
Puyo Puyo! The Medal Edition has been added to the drive!
This is a medal pusher game based on Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, and not to be confused with the Puyo 15th Pachislot!
This can be played on the latest Dev build of Flycast Dreamcast emulator!
3 new i-mode apps are now on the drive!
Puyo Puyo Fever DX Taikenban BT ver, with bluetooth multiplayer, a widescreen version of Puyo Puyo~n & Columns, and Puyo Puyo! Widget, a non playable widget themed around Puyo 15th!
These need Star 1.5 / 2.0 SDK to work.
The japanese version of Puyo Puyo~n & Columns is now on the drive! (AKA Puyo Pop + Columns)
There's an original version that doesn't work on DoJa SDK emulator, and a modified one that does.
Thanks to xyz for dumping it and
@m3M0RyHuN73R
for getting it to work on emulator.
I found out all online downloads for Puyo 15th Anniversary on PS2 are for the original release! (ID SLPM-62754), but the Special Price edition (ID SLPM-62779) is not preserved anywhere!
Let us know if you own the disk on the right! RTs appreciated! -S
We uploaded the korean version of Puyo Puyo SUN to the drive, as well as a full version of Puyo Puyo Fever DX for BREW 3.1, thanks to
@Realtimeless1
for figuring out how to crack the full game.
We really want to get the ROM chips dumped too, but at the moment we don't know anyone who has the technical skill for these chips, so that will be our last trouble. Thankfully they're im sockets, which will be handy.
If you know any expert in EPROM chips, please contact us! 2/2
Welcome to the Suzuran Library! This account was made in hopes of searching, documenting, and discussing lost games in the Puyo Puyo series!
The purpose and focus of this account is for specifically lost games, if you have any inquiries or leads, please DM us :)
#PuyoPuyo
The Suzuran Library Game Repository is ready to go live! We're finalizing preparations now and will post the link tomorrow afternoon :)
Thank you for being patient! We hope this will benefit the Puyo Puyo community going forward.

We announce that we've started a YouTube channel!
We're gonna upload gameplay of interesting games from our archive, especially for those in need of footage!
Link to the channel:
We have already uploaded three videos, here they are in the thread:
Did you know?
To celebrate Puyo's 15th anniversary, SEGA released a free to play, online only version of Puyo Fever, titled Carnival Edition!
You could play against people, or versus guest characters every month to be entered into raffles to win prizes! -R
Did you know?
Like with later games, Puyo Puyo~n also had a demo 体験版! (Trial Version)
Released as a Dreamcast disc, this demo has 3 stages of the story mode, 4 characters to choose in VS mode, and 4 tokoton endless modes. -R
Did you know?
Minna de Puyo Puyo (Puyo Pop) on the GBA had a special "Endless Version" released as a bonus downloadable game on both Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg!
It features an normal endless mode, and a mission mode. -R
The Game Preservation Society, unfortunately, contributed little to this endeavor. The credit for this goes to
@GoodTofuFriday
,
@XerShadowTail
@RockmanCosmo
and Bin. This team have displayed grit and perseverance like no other.
Thanks to
@realtimeless1
for providing us the demo of Puyo Puyo Fever for Android and cracking it into the full game as well!! You can find it in the drive along other Puyo Fever versions. -S
Did you know?
Puyo Puyo Fever and Fever Chu! on the PS2 both had special taikenban (trial versions) released for them!
Their build dates are around 2-3 months before each respective game came out on the PS2. -R
Hey! Here's a few stuff we've been digging for:
Puyo Puyo for Pocket PC
Fever's various PDA and Mobile releases
Pretty much anything i-Mode related, as well as Sonic Cafe
if you have any information/have them yourself, please shoot us a message!
-R
We got a dump! Thanks to
@Bolternon
!
Unfortunately, the disc is 1:1 to the original, even with the internal ID, it seems like the ID change was just to make a new physical disc, as such we won't be putting this in the drive, but it was always good to learn. -S

Photos of Puyo Puyo Fever 2 taikenban PSP running on real hardware
It required 2 consoles running PSP firmware, as the only way to play the demo without errors was through download share on real PlayStation firmware.
Included photos of that too, was a huge pain to set up.

Many SEGA characters were featured as guests during this event, including Satan, sporting his 15th Anniversary art and spells. He played an earlier version of Arle's theme and the Fever theme when fought.
Carnival Edition's characters and installer can be found in the archive! -R
A few new additions have been added to the Drive, we were supplied a number of Chinese releases for Puyo Puyo Fever DX with many differing aspect ratio/phone versions.
Link is in our pinned <3

Correction, it wasnt distributed via PSN, but it was downloadable at a Playstation Spot, and since we have the PS Spot volumes we were able to retrieve it!
It features two modes, a battle with Sig against Onion Pixie, and Endless Fever -S
Phantasy Star Online requires you to go online to get every GBA game outside of the Tiny Chao Garden, meanwhile in Billy Hatcher, you must find a bonus egg (specifically one in Blizzard Castle mission 3 for Puyo Pop) to unlock it. -R
@ArMM1998
The main goal is to find someone who can actually hold onto it safely/help with extraction, we plan on crowdfunding if we can find a person who can help with it guaranteed - A
@Toaru_Junker_T
Do note that twitter compressed the video even further, so the quality isn't the best, but it's also not the final output we want. Whenever we'll actually record perfect video alongside audio, that'll be on youtube.
We're currently working on mirroring an old repo for the Puyo series which holds specific releases and revisions/ports
We'll be filling in the missing gaps including all Puyo games which fall under abandonware
We'll let you all know when it's ready :) We have a lot to add
-A
Unfortunately the seller of the Pachislot machine removed their account from mercari, and noone here had the time or was able to set up fund raising... The machine wasn't sold, so let's wait hopefully for their return... -S
We should be ready to go live in under a week :)
We're adding the last few sets of files we need and prepping an offline mirror.
Heres a preview of what you should expect.
- A
We're very excited to share this with everyone, and hope that this will spur more discoveries of lost or otherwise obscure Puyo media!
I'd also like to announce: a Tumblr!
It'll have crossposts from this account, as well as occasional Puyo facts! -R
Update: We noticed the eShop lacks the full release for Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, so due to this we will be including the 3DS version of 20th Anniversary prior to the eShop's shut down.
- A
While we will be posting their demos in the drive. please note we will be not be including Retail copies of games 3DS onward, we have plans for them when the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U eShop become unavailable, but until then please provide official support if possible.

Correction: PSO EP1&2 requires you to go online to access these, but in the updated rerelease, Episode I & II Plus, they were added as offline quests, among many other online only quests.

This when searching for the game on Japanese eShop is all that came up in relation to 20th Anniversary
We will also be including this despite its availability, as the contents of it are the exact same to the DS Retail Demo (VS with 4 playable characters & Ringo's story campaign)
We'll also have the DiscStation releases, and while it's not our primary focus this will also include the Madou Monogatari releases
We won't be adding games which have an easy access to purchase and play legally, so please keep that in mind.

@AmethystLeslie
only the japanese arcade versions though. and their netcode is very intented to be played in the same region or there's huge input lag -s
@BayoenStorm
i will try to find any differences between it and MD puyo, but there seems to be none outside of emulation issues (bad sound emulation) and there being a software timer added. i don't think it'll be necessary to add. -R
