Added

• The launcher opens on the cartridge you last played. Anyone whose game is Crystal was turning the carousel four steps at every launch. A shelf that has never been played from still opens on Red.
• A mod can rewrite what a text box says. Every named box reads through one seam now, which is what a translation needs: the menus, the marts, the name rater, the move deleter, the Day-Care, the intro and the special scripts. Issue #575 asked for a French Crystal and had nothing to aim at.

Changed

• Generation 1's overworld is walked, fought and talked to. A map opens and a step meets a wild Pokemon. A sign or an NPC opens a box, a trainer sees you across a room and walks up, and the fight behind it runs to a faint with its own wipe, animations and ball throws.
• Every counter on Red, Blue and Yellow is open: the mart, the Pokemon Center nurse, the cable club receptionist, the vending machines, the Game Corner prize counter with its four coin clerks, the Day-Care, and all three PCs.
• The START menu, the bag, the party list, the Pokedex, the trainer card and the region map each draw in Generation 1's own layout.
• Field moves run. Cut, Surf, Strength, Fly, Dig, Teleport and Softboiled, the three fishing rods, the bicycle down Cycling Road, the Poke Flute in front of a Snorlax, and Flash lighting Rock Tunnel.
• Hidden objects, in-game trades, gifts, items on the ground, Silph Co.'s card key doors, the dungeon holes and the Escape Rope all answer.
• A Generation 1 map runs its own per-frame script, so a state machine walks an NPC across a room or the player up a corridor and holds its line until that walk has been drawn.
• None of this is reachable from Play. Red, Blue and Yellow are still import and inspection only.

Fixed

• A mod archive refused for its contract now names the manifest it found. One built by another project's generator carries manifest.json with an api field, and this installer reported "no mod.json" over a file it had already read, then refused the mod for declaring the 0 it had defaulted to.

Which file

Every download is one file. sha256sums.txt covers all of them.

First launch

• Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" box, because the build is not signed by a paid certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway.
• macOS: the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so double-clicking it is refused. Right-click the app, choose Open, then Open again. Only the first launch needs this.
• Linux: chmod +x pokerecomp-0.1.29-linux-x86_64 and run it.
• Android: your phone will ask you to allow installing from this source.
• iOS: the .ipa is deliberately unsigned. Install it with AltStore or SideStore, which sign it on your own machine with your own Apple ID. A free Apple ID works; apps signed that way need re-signing every 7 days. Add pokerecomp's source once, in Sources > +, and every later release shows up as an update: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Decryptu/pokerecomp/main/.github/altstore/source.json
• Switch: extract the zip at the root of your microSD, so the file lands at switch/pokerecomp.nro, and launch pokerecomp from the homebrew menu. It needs a console that already runs homebrew; nothing here installs one.

Updating

The launcher's about page tells you when a newer release exists. It does not install it: download the new file and replace the old one. Your saves are kept separately and survive it, on every platform.
