¡Cool! I was curious about who composed the music for these versions. ¿Did you used some MIDI converter for this? Oh, and I also noticed something else: the music for these games use a variation of their respective title screen themes (with some exceptions, of course).

Hi, yeah, there is not a lot of info about who made Dawn of the Dragon (J2ME) aside from it being The Mighty Troglodytes. I had to message Lebrasseur (whose name I saw on the archived TMT website) who led me to Nicolas Signat. Maybe on his linkedin there was info about DOTD or something, but i didn't consider it at the time. I recorded the music from Beatnik Player for Mobile Audio with the "Lloyd" soundbank from Nokia. The former is a program that is basically a replica of the audio engine in old Nokia phones. In theory I could load all the MIDIs into the music player of one of the Nokia phones I have and get similar sound, but it'd be a lot more cumbersome (thing is, neither TEN nor DOTD actually work on the latest Nokia models for some reason, they both crash). If I used, say, some kind of audio library like BASSMIDI with an SF2 soundfont of the Lloyd bank, it would sound similar, but some intricacies in old Nokia sound would be lost. As for Nokia's competition, Sony Ericsson was also great for Java games, but I believe there's no software emulation of their audio engine, and Bluetooth recording from SE to Windows via A2DP doesn't work very well from what I recall. As for the title screen themes, it's a fairly common practice to see in games, it's called a leitmotif, but still, good spot.
