Native ports of the Pokémon games, built to be modded and verified frame for frame.

What it is

Native

Game logic runs as C compiled for Linux on one shared runtime. There is no emulator at run time.

Moddable

The code is idiomatic C with one function per original routine. Assets are overridden by name, enhancements are named options and host modules extend the hub and the runtime.

Verified

Every ported routine runs in faithful mode against a trace of the original, recorded at every sync point, lag frames and glitches included.

Status

• Phase 1 Runtime and hub complete
• Phase 2 Sirius (Red, Blue & Yellow) in progress
• Phase 3 Vega (Gold, Silver & Crystal) planned
• Phase 4 Rigel (Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald) and Altair (FireRed & LeafGreen) planned

You bring the game

The hub reads your own cartridge dump and extracts the assets on your machine. Nothing from the original games is distributed. See how it works.
