See https://github.com/Vortyne/pureRGB/blob/master/FEATURES.md for the full features documentation.
----SETUP INSTRUCTIONS START----
STEP 1: Scroll to the bottom of this page and download the .bps patch file for the version you want from the file list below.
STEP 2: Get the original unpatched game ROM as a file in .gbc or .gb format, international english, Red Version or Blue Version depending on the version you want to play. Search it up online or ask your friends how to get it. You can dump an official cart for example, but there are other ways as well! If you want to play PureGreen, get the original Blue Version ROM file.
STEP 3: Use an online patcher or the software Floating IPS to patch the original game. Basically, you are applying the .bps patch file to the original game's .gb or .gbc file.
STEP 4: Open the resultant .gbc or .gb file with software that can run .gbc or .gb files to play the game.
Always use these patch files on the original game's .gbc or .gb file. Don't try to use any on a game that's already been patched, or a previous version of PureRGB. It won't work.

2.7.3 Patch Notes
New Features:
==QUALITY OF LIFE==
- You can now sort your Items and PC Items by pressing select on the option from the start menu, or pressing select while viewing the player's pc
- You can rename PC Boxes with 5 letter custom names now, might make it easier to remember which pokemon are in that box
- On the start menu, Bill's PC, and Player's PC, there are small indicators of what SELECT will do when pressed now.
- Celadon Mart's directory now uses a menu so it's easier to use. The clerk will also give you her own version of the same info, with her own personal flair.
==MINOR TWEAKS==
- Two NPCs were added to safari zone rest houses and will speak unused text with some additions for flavor.
- The pokedex category (e.g. "Shellfish Pokemon") were adjusted for Moltres, Electabuzz, and Zapdos. Electabuzz: "Electric Pokemon" -> "Shock Pokemon" Zapdos: "Electric Pokemon" -> "Storm Pokemon" Moltres: "Flame Pokemon" -> "Inferno Pokemon"
- Talking to the Wigglytuff on the SS Anne will mark it as seen in the pokedex.
- When the rival leaves in Pokemon Tower via the stairs, a "going down stairs" sound effect now plays instead of them disappearing from existence silently
- When the rival leaves on Silph Co 7F, when they reach the warp pad their sprite will "warp away" with a sound effect instead of phasing out of existence silently
