mophun is Mophun ™ was described by its creators as "a software based gaming console for mobile terminals"." It has some conceptual similarities to Java, like running programs in a virtual machine rather than directly on the device, so that they can become platform-independent. Since late 2002, the mophun 2D engine has been pre-installed on low-end mobiles. The much acclaimed Sony Ericsson T300 and T310 models.

Its development began in late 1999, its market implantation only achieved a serious level and released in November of 2002. Its supports high performance downloadable C/C++ mophun™ games. Mophun game engine was available on especially the Sony Ericsson mobile phones including T300 and T610, are the best known devices for running Mophun. Most mophun programs are around 50–150 KB in size. Mophun 3D engine was available on the Symbian, for the UIQ (Sony Ericsson P800 and BenQ P30) and Series 60 (Nokia 7650, 3650, Siemens SX-1 and N-Gage) and Windows Mobile. It's often used to provide embedded (pre-installed) games on mobile phone handsets. Sony Ericsson decided to drop mophun in 2003.

==Overview==
Mophun games are developed in the C and C++ programming languages using an open source SDK.
Despite the API being very easy for programmers to use, Mophun has not been very popular. The main reason for this seems to be the strict approval process - the compiled program can only be run under an emulator, and Synergenix must approve the program so it can be used on a mobile device. The approved program can only be run under one IMEI number. Only developers registered and approved by Synergenix can use self-certification (and through the Synergenix server), and they are only allowed to have one IMEI number. The developer must sign a sales contract with Synergenix, which then shares and approves it for end-users, so the program can be shared. Such a process disallows free programs to be created for Mophun, and also discourages many developers from developing programs for Mophun. In addition, Mophun game does not need to be paid after one download (this is the same concept as ExEn), and Mophun also has a security mechanism (anti-piracy), the main game program cannot be copied from the mobile phone, only the game save and dump are provided to the computer.

Mophun™ platform, which was adopted as the standard for Sony Ericsson mobile phones (and is also supported by some models of siemens phones and other "smaller" brands). A platform similar to J2ME, the program openness is not as good as that of J2ME, and the types of downloads are single, but mophun games can provide game demos, and have good restrictions on piracy, and the fees are more convenient and reasonable.
— In 2003: Embedded deal with TTPcom.
— In 2003: Shifs to become mobile game middleware for Symbian, BREW, J2ME and Windows Mobile. Synergenix mophun accelerator Supports OpenGL and mobile 3D graphics API (application programming interface) for J2ME (JSR -184). The mophun platform is optimized to work with Atsana media processors, and a set of over 150 built-in games is offered to phone developers.
— The 2D version requires about 50kB of memory and the 3D version only adds an additional 100kB to the footprint. The mophun engine on the mobile device makes sure that the games run in a secure sandboxed environment and it also contains DRM features to help prevent piracy. Most mophun programs are around 50–150 KB in size.
— The 2D versions of mophun™ enables multiplayer wireless gaming. Minigolf game that runs over the network, using a multiplayer server from Terraplay.

Mophun 3D is a high-graphic 3D engine was introduced and developed by Synergenix Interactive AB (Sweden) in May 18, 2003 for Symbian based handsets with full 3D graphics, high-quality sounds and multiplayer service (through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS and Infra-red technology). It's a fast gaming system for mobile phones, pushing mobile games to new levels, enabling true real-time multiplayer gaming over mobile networks as well as high performance 3D graphics and true 3D gaming features. The engine currently available for all Series 60 and UIQ handsets, including the Nokia 3650, 7650, N-Gage, Sony Ericsson P800, Motorola A920 and Siemens SX-1 mobile phones and a whole range of Symbian based phones, smartphones and Windows Mobile / Pocket PC handsets. Additional supported platforms include Archos Gmini series, TTPCom, Texas Instruments, as well as all leading RTOS and application operating systems. The original mophun has been upgraded to the mophun 3D version, and should bring completely new elements of entertainment through 3D games to the mobile phone field in particular.

Mophun 3D is the first commercially available virtual machine/game engine with complete 3D support.
