— From a technical point of view, Mophun is superior to J2ME. Tests conducted by independent companies showed that in a device where Mophun gives 60 MIPS, J2ME shows 400 KIPS (which means 150 times slower). Synergenix also adds that on some devices, some subsystems use native code from the phone's processor rather than virtual machine code, which means speeds can reach 90% of the phone's CPU's maximum capability (for example, 90 MIPS for a 100 MIPS model when running native programs).

;4Mophun
The mophun gaming platform runs on extremely limited hardware resources with minimum requirements of an 8-bit processor running on 12 MHz. Competing game technologies usually require 32-bit processors and 25 to 50 MHz. Because of the limited hardware resource requirements mophun games can run on today's existing 2G-phones. The game can be downloaded via WAP directly to the phone or to a computer and then transferred to the phone via infrared (IR) or cable.
---------=<center><b><span style="font-family:papyrus; font-size:2em;">Mophun 2D</span></b></center>=The Mophun standardMophun™ platform, which was adopted as the standard for Sony Ericsson mobile phones (and is also supported by some models of Siemens siemens phones and other "smaller" brands) has been "running around" to try to attract attention of mobile game developers. 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.
Mophun has the advantage of being an open standard (free for the developer) and its programs tend to be very compact, occupying half the memory of a similar one in Java and a third of that occupied by a similar one in BREW, which has taken many companies to turn their eyes to Mophun (as it speeds up the download of games).
— In 2002: Relaunched as mophun signed embedded deal with Sony-Ericsson. Mophun embedded into T300, T610, etc and Online distribution system with DRM.
— 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.
— The 2D versions of mophun™ enables multiplayer wireless gaming. Minigolf game that runs over the network, using a multiplayer server from Terraplay.
— For low-end phones, mophun™ provides the possibility of real-time, arcade style 2D action games that no other comparative technologies can match.
— The mophun™ API gives the games access to features like an advanced sprite and tile engine, a collision system, sound support and communication. Games can also access hardware, such as vibration, backlight and touch screens. Games for Mophun are written in assembler in C and C++ using a well-documented and open API. A special version of GCC is used to compile programs.

Synergenix Interactive AB launched the Mophun 3D engine for Symbian based handsets in 18 May 2003. 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 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.
— CSL enable its customers to download advanced 3D games based on mophun technology directly to their Symbian OS based mobile phones. CSL provide Symbian OS mobile phone users with direct access to a growing supply of great 3D games based on the mophun technology. Such as Rally Pro Contest, Anarchy Boxing 3D, Joe’s Treasure Quest 3D, and Lock 'N Load are available through CSL.
— The Synergenix Vendor Signing Tool (VST) :
Offers an opportunity of secure distribution and piracy control. The games can be locked to a specific device based on the IMEI number or time-limited for demo purposes or several different forms of subscription gaming. The VST can also be used to add operator specific information to games at the point of sale, such as IP addresses to your multiplayer server or your own games portal.
— The 3D versions of mophun™ enables multiplayer wireless gaming capabilities over Bluetooth™, Infra-red, WLAN, GPRS, EDGE and 3G network. Many of mophun games are perfectly connected via bluetooth. In multiplayer mode, some have the ability to connect via bluetooth (for example, Carmageddon 3D, Fatal Arena, Lock 'N Load 2).
Lock 'N Load 2, The new installment is the first to use Terraplay's MOVE 3.1 platform and benchmark the first-person shooter genre on mobile. Also Rally Pro Content using its Mophun 3D game engine and Terraplay Systems network technology for multiplayer functionality. Multiplayer gaming has used local connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth but Terraplay MOVE enables subscribers to connect to another handset over 2.5G and 3G networks without geographical restrictions.

==Mophun Games games port for other platforms==Mophun 3D games that also came out on Symbian, such as The Da Vinci Code 3D, Lock 'N Load series, Carmageddon 3D. Some games were released in J2ME, such as Rally Pro Contest and Golf Pro Content 2.
Of the exclusives, the indisputable hit is Honey Cave the first and second parts1/2. Deep Abyss was also good famousgame, but its 3D version remake on the [[Mascot Capsule 3D]] was more popular and interesting. They also tried to transfer remake Honey Cave to 3D for J2MEin Mascot Capsule 3D technology, but it turned out to be just a very crooked and laggy 3D platformer, so the original 2D versions are a classic for which it is worth trying this emulator.
