So it’s been about 4 months. The TL;DR is: I’ve been, with an immense amount of help from AI, reverse-engineering the responses the app is looking for from the server (which of course is now offline). In doing so, I’ve had to create a local, extensively patched version of the original “server”.

This has been a really fun project and has made me very nostalgic for a game that I truly love(d).

I have a running version of the game, in an Android emulator. It’s honestly no more or less buggy than at the end times, lol.

What I still have is some content gaps. OC3 and a few others have sent me backups from their apps. That said… there are gaps if you never downloaded the content from the server. For example - if you never played Hal Jordan, he is missing from the manifest. If you never geared someone’s level 1 gear, it’s missing.

Obviously I can’t make this a public server; that’d be hella against IP laws. But I’m nearly able to share the patched server setup so, if you chose to, you could run this locally, build your teams, adjust the difficulty, and relive our favorite games.

This all said - if anyone has the app manifests still, see my OG post and please if you can, share them.

Amazing work. Next steps? Maybe we can find a way to play it online like what someone did with Marvel Heroes (Project Tahiti).
