Hi, KrZ here.
New Year 2023 has arrived. Despite 2022 being full of trials and suffering, with full-fledged war ravaging my country, something was done for BREW games' preservation nevertheless.
In February and March I was mostly focused on survival, and while in the shelters, nothing could practically be done for the channel.
In April one of the two missing chapters of Kingdom Hearts V-Cast was retrieved by one of the members of Kingdom Hearts community, with me providing technical support for the extraction.
End April crossing big hurdles and over several countries, I was delivered two phones which represent one of the first BREW content delivery systems in the world. It existed in 2002-2006 on Korean KTF network.
In May I explored earlier archived Korean BREW content on the abovementioned devices.
In June-July I have received and shared the footage of never earlier seen second chapter of Bioshock 3D for BREW, and one of the episodes of that footage has become the most viewed video on my channel. Also, I have reached 500 tweets on Twitter.
I have ran my first fundraiser to help me get equipment for my job in Ukraine. Although it was unsuccessful, it helped me reach a little more people, and gain some experience in running such things.
Thanks to you, my viewers, an important milestone of 500 subscribers was reached in August, and I have made a video on patching the Zeebo.
Clips from my videos were used by other youtubers whose content I watch regularly.
In August some games were dumped from an Israeli Samsung SCH-A930 by a Discord user, and I have recreated manifest files for these.
In September I was working on a series of videos on BREW games made by Ralph Barbagallo (of FLARB) of which the first one was released. And then things went haywire.
Starting October, Russia specifically targeted my country power infrastructure. Power authorities managed to mitigate the damage by introducing regular power outages. Attacks led to country-wide shutdown of the grid on 23 November. All nuclear power plants of Ukraine experienced emergency shut down on that day. As you would think, it is difficult to maintain regular youtubing, when you have power only several hours a day.
Yet, in November, I have extracted some important BREW gaming content from a phone sent to me by a Chinese viewer and fellow bilibili content creator. That was an operation which spanned over three months and, again, crossed several countries. I plan to make a separate video about this story.
In December I have finished my Twitter series "50 Shades of BREW" which showed, in a unified fashion, 50 various BREW phones.
In 2023, I am hoping for peace, and expect to deliver more content to be shared with you, my viewers.
Thank you for all of your support till now.

Hi, KrZ here.
I have run into some technical issues while producing the next video. So it is possible that there will be no video until next weekend.
Instead, I will post my series of 50 Shades of BREW on twitter each day this week, instead of random intervals.

I am striving to weekly share footage of various BREW stuff I manage to run on the Zeebo console, BREW-based phones, BREW Simulator and Melange.
For almost a decade and a half I have been collecting devices based on BREW platform - GSM and CDMA phones from markets all over the world.
I have in my collection BREW software and games from various sources. I have extracted lost games from old phones and got BREW software running on various compatible phones.
I heard about Zeebo a couple of years after it was released, but managed to purchase it only in 2017 while traveling. Unfortunately, when I got it in "as new" condition, it had only three bundled games. Moreover, at the time I did not even have a TV with composite input to check it. It was a curious artifact.
After viewing one top hat youtuber's video on Zeebo, I dug it out, and got it unlocked. Later, I acquired a capture card, and decided to share the footage on this channel.
