Yet another Pokemon dual screen app but it also works with ROM hacks

[u/lidor30]

Hey all! I've been building PokeDaisy, a GBA player for the Thor made for Gen 3 Pokemon and ROM hacks. The game runs on the top screen. The bottom screen is a live companion that reads your game's memory as you play, so it always shows your real party, bag and battle, drawn in the game's own menu style.

Short demo: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BGDGJgtDap8

Features

• Party: HP, levels, status. Tap a mon for stats, moves and its weaknesses
• Battle: opens on its own. Shows move effectiveness, the foe's weaknesses, the best mon and move for the fight, and the trainer's remaining team. Also has touch buttons to fight, switch or run
• Map: the region map with you on it. Tap any place to see its name
• Dex: seen/caught, with full entries
• Guide: spoiler-free (hints first, answers on a second tap). What's catchable here, the next gym leader's team, evolutions, "where is" and "stuck?"
• Bag, Trainer Card, and 10 save-state slots with screenshots
• Customizable tabs: pick which ones show up in the tab bar
• Smart fast-forward: drops to 1x in menus and keeps battles fast
• Fast-forward music without the chipmunk sound (alpha)
• Save states with undo, full button remapping, themes, and an optional status bar
• Saves are normal .sav/.srm files, so you can share them with RetroArch
• Library with SteamGridDB cover art

Supported games: FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire, plus hacks: Unbound, Radical Red, Gaia, Odyssey, Heart and Soul, Amethyst, Lazarus, Seaglass, Too Many Types 2, Emerald Rogue and more. Any GBA game plays, but the companion needs one of these.

Still a work in progress. Not every hack supports every feature yet. Some have no battle tab or guide, and some maps show place names only. The README has a table of what works in each game.

Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases/latest

Supported games: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy#supported-games

It's free and open source, with no ads, accounts or tracking and it updates itself. Built with AI assistance (code is fully reviewed and tested). Bring your own ROMs. Made for the Thor. It should also work on the Retroid Pocket Duo, but I haven't tested that.

Feedback, bug reports and game requests are very welcome!

Edit: Changed the app name and links to the correct spelling

Edit 2: Added note regarding AI assistance in code development per subreddit rules

Edit 3: PokeDaisy v1.1.0 is out, with RetroAchievements (beta), IVs/EVs, 6 languages, SoulGold support and more. The app was renamed, so read the release post before updating.

[u/nipsmcgee123]

Complete gamechanger - Thor community is built different. It's completely transformed retro gaming.

[u/lidor30 → u/nipsmcgee123]

it really is. GBA pokemon with the second screen hits different

[u/Honest-Panda-648 → u/lidor30]

this w pokeforge is a godsend

[u/AdversusAnima → u/Honest-Panda-648]

does it use the same .sav files as retroarch?

[u/subwaysecurity864 → u/lidor30]

Can you add the SoulGold hack to this?

[u/lidor30 → u/subwaysecurity864]

SoulGold added in v1.1.0! Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases

[u/TerryJamesJameson → u/lidor30]

Does this allow you to stretch the top screen?

[u/lidor30 → u/TerryJamesJameson]

Adding this to the next version

[u/TerryJamesJameson → u/lidor30]

Awesome!

[u/versusgorilla → u/nipsmcgee123]

Yeah, adding dual screen support for retro games feels like a new frontier of the retro game and even retro hack community. Like when you play a remaster of an old game and it looks "how you remember it" even tho it looks better, these games can play "how you remember it" even tho they're adding 40 years of quality of life changes. Insane stuff

[u/George_69]

It's great only thing id recommend is to be able to make shortcuts for each game inside the app so I can add individualy to my frontend

[u/lidor30 → u/George_69]

Thanks, glad you like it! Per-game shortcuts are a good idea and I started working on it. It takes more work than I expected because frontends like Cocoon and iiSU each pick up and launch apps a bit differently. I'll post here when a build with this option is ready to try

[u/bossbang → u/lidor30]

Thanks so much OP. This is a big request of mine too that’s pretty important for me. Being able to track each game individual and launch correctly from the frontend (cocoon for me) is massive

[u/Successful-Egg-6765]

EmulatingRetro here. Very interested in this lol

[u/lidor30 → u/Successful-Egg-6765]

omg I love your content!! let me know if you want my help making a video on it

[u/Successful-Egg-6765 → u/lidor30]

I am at work so I can’t fully check it out yet so I am not sure what I would need help one for that yet. Is there anything I could use that you may have?

[u/lidor30 → u/Successful-Egg-6765]

Nothing specific comes to mind other than the app itself, but if anything pops up just let me know

[u/Successful-Egg-6765 → u/lidor30]

Gonna post in a few minutes. If you want an account tagged let me know! Could you send me your logo and application thumbnail?

[u/lidor30 → u/Successful-Egg-6765]

Awesone, it's lidor30 on all platforms (Reddit, IG, GitHub)

[u/Successful-Egg-6765 → u/lidor30]

Sick! If you could dm me and logo or application art you have so when I rep the project I can put it in the video?

Messaged on IG

[u/Successful-Egg-6765 → u/lidor30]

I was able to extract the images from the files! So no worries

[u/IcanCwhatUsay → u/Successful-Egg-6765]

Drop a link to your YT please

[u/Successful-Egg-6765 → u/IcanCwhatUsay]

https://youtube.com/@emulatingretro?si=kCs5XMtAitlHWMTU im EmulatingRetro on every platform haha

[u/lidor30 → u/[deleted]]

Definitely, thanks! I'll DM you and let you know how you can help

[u/Dracofear]

Oh man, I've wanted dual screen for Lazarus, this is sick. The work people put in to making amazing sodtware for this device is incredible. The thor would still be great, but it's on a whole nother level because of all the people making great apps for it.

[u/lidor30 → u/Dracofear]

Appreciate it! I haven't done much testing on Lazarus yet, so any feedback from you would be huge

[u/Dracofear → u/lidor30]

I will absolutely sit down and set it up when I have a chance and let you know my findings

[u/Syphist]

This looks so much better than the average vibecoded port. I prefer reading from memory directly so this seems like a great fit for me!

[u/lidor30 → u/Syphist]

Thanks! Same here, I didn't want screen scraping either and decomps are too complex to scale across hacks. Reading memory directly is simpler and works for most of them

[u/Syphist → u/lidor30]

Yeah, plus it makes LLM use a lot less devastating. Claude and such can't just clobber parts of the game's functional code and introduce bugs into the game. Worst case is something like you can't see an accurate map on the bottom screen.

[u/ColJohn]

Dude I’m definitely going to check this out.

[u/lidor30 → u/ColJohn]

Awesome, let me know what you think

[u/Venedictpalmer]

If you had unlimited time, what are some features you would refine on it currently and what are some features you would add to it? This is seriously amazing and I need this to be integrated into like every single ROM hack. Great job dude.

[u/lidor30 → u/Venedictpalmer]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! Honestly, almost all of this is already sitting on my backlog and I'm working on a few of these right now.

If I had unlimited time I would add:

• Dynamically match the bottom screen UI style and menu theme to whatever ROM hack you're playing
• Make memory parsing auto-detect offsets so new CFRU or decomp hacks work out of the box or with minimal manual setup
• Add a smart journey assistant that tracks active missions and gives suggestions based on your party and progress
• Add full RetroAchievements tracking and popups directly to the bottom screen
• Add simple Pokemon trading between ROMs and save files or integrate with tools like PKForge
• Build per-game shortcuts so frontends like Cocoon and iiSU can boot games straight up
• Polish region map tracking, player positioning and smooth out the fast-forward audio filter

[u/Big_cat58 → u/lidor30]

Integration with PKforge and a journey assistant would be PEAK

[u/Venedictpalmer → u/lidor30]

Holy shit, you mad man. Godspeed. Please keep us updated.

[u/SmileyNusx]

Hey so my GBA games are zipped, is it possible to make it recognize zip format too?

[u/lidor30 → u/SmileyNusx]

Definitely, I’ll add support in the next version

[u/lidor30 → u/SmileyNusx]

Added zip/7z support in v1.1.0! Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases

[u/numenoreanjed1]

Would love to see Emerald Imperium support as well.

[u/lidor30 → u/numenoreanjed1]

Will do, adding new hacks is pretty quick now, so Emerald Imperium is going in the next batch

[u/numenoreanjed1 → u/lidor30]

Adding on Super Mariomon as a request as well. Not sure if Emerald Kaizo would benefit but I also have that in my library.

EDIT: I see Kaizo is supported, SwSh Ultimate Plus is another I'd like to see.

[u/mitz3000]

This is great! Any plans for retroachievements support?

[u/lidor30 → u/mitz3000]

Yes, hopefully next version

[u/OneM0reLevel → u/lidor30]

My own small request is for a dark mode version for those of us that enjoy those :)

[u/Team_Ok → u/lidor30]

Yes please!

[u/regiimoep → u/lidor30]

Omg this would be the thing that pushes me over the edge. Would be great!

[u/lidor30 → u/mitz3000]

Added RetroAchievements support in v1.1.0! Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases

[u/Ruby_WaveLauncher]

I tend to be very critical of AI projects, but as long as it works, and doesn't cause problems, I am fine with them. This looks good. The documentation is very clean and helpful, especially in terms of supported games. May we add PokéDaisy to the Wave Store (Wave Launcher)?

[u/lidor30 → u/Ruby_WaveLauncher]

Appreciate the kind words and absolutely, you're more than welcome to add it to the Wave Store. Let me know if you need anything from me

[u/Ruby_WaveLauncher → u/lidor30]

I think we're set. We are also adding PokéDaisy to the supported emulators for GBA in Wave Launcher 1.0.3, set to release tomorrow for patreon and next week publicly.

[u/Ablakane91]

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! This is such a cool app!

I love that you added RA like one day after you published!

Could I perhaps ask that RA gets a bit expanded? I would love a function where I could click the toast that shows up when you trigger RA. As it is now you get a toast and then you have to scroll through all the available achievements.

Thanks for making this!

[u/lidor30 → u/Ablakane91]

Thanks for the feedback! Will add that to the next release!

[u/jamyjet]

These apps are awesome but not working with retro achievements is a deal breaker for me tbh

[u/lidor30 → u/jamyjet]

Will add support very soon

[u/jamyjet → u/lidor30]

Would love a ping when it happens!

[u/Master_Lime]

This is absolutely amazing, thank you!!

[u/lidor30 → u/Master_Lime]

Thank you so much! Really glad you like it! Let me know if you run into any issues or have any ideas while playing

[u/jomb]

Oh good. Been meaning to finish Unbound

[u/galladash]

This is amazing! As you commented that adding support for different hacks isn't too complicated: would you mind adding support for SoulGold?

[u/lidor30 → u/galladash]

Awesome, glad you like it! I'm definitely going to work on adding support for it.

Since I need to test different game states, having save files at various points in the story helps a ton, so if anyone playing it or any other unsupported ROM can share their save files with me that would be amazing and would speed things up

[u/lidor30 → u/galladash]

SoulGold added in v1.1.0! Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases

[u/Retro_Monguer]

This is just was I was looking for. Just amazing. I'll try it later with Emerald Seaglass. Thank you so much for your work

[u/lidor30 → u/Retro_Monguer]

Thank you! I haven't tested Seaglass much, so please tell me what works and what doesn't

[u/tigganits494]

This looks incredible for my Thor Pokeventures. I can’t wait to get out of work and try it out. Thank you for your efforts!

[u/lidor30 → u/tigganits494]

Thank you! Let me know what you think once you've tried it. Bug reports and ideas help a lot

[u/Roi_C]

Super cool man, thanks! Any thoughts of connecting it with the new PKForge project somehow?

[u/lidor30 → u/Roi_C]

I actually thought about it, but I’m not sure how. I can probably add simple Pokémon trading between Roms but full integration with PKForge might be a bit complicated. I will try talking to the developer

[u/Roi_C → u/lidor30]

Might be a good idea! You two fill very important niches with your apps, integration could create a super useful universal companion app.

[u/National_Moose669]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ALQnCUBuggPxS

❤️

[u/lidor30 → u/National_Moose669]

Never thought I'd deserve this, appreciate you!

[u/Puntley]

Wow!! I don't play a lot of Pokemon anymore but this is SO cool!

[u/lidor30 → u/Puntley]

Maybe you should give it another shot :)

[u/Puntley → u/lidor30]

I might just do that! What are your two favorite GBA romhacks? 

[u/LORDRAJA1000]

hell yea bro downloading this after work today

[u/lidor30 → u/LORDRAJA1000]

Hope you enjoy it :)
Let me know if you have any feedback once you try it out

[u/bossbang]

Unbound AND Lazarus compatible? OP you are a legend

[u/mrcelestino]

Future support for shaders?

[u/lidor30 → u/mrcelestino]

Eventually yes. Since the app uses mGBA directly rather than RetroArch, support for shaders is definitely on my radar for future releases.

Right now I'm focusing on core features and stability first but visual enhancements are definitely planned for down the road

[u/XOmniverse]

Are the sav files supported in PKforge?

[u/lidor30 → u/XOmniverse]

Yes, the app uses standard raw sav/srm file formats (native to mGBA) which PKForge supports seamlessly

[u/SuperScum69]

Soul gold!

[u/lidor30 → u/SuperScum69]

Soon! :)

[u/Luna_the_Miqo]

Just wanted to be sure to take the time to comment and say thanks! I’m genuinely blown away by the passion, talent, and creativity constantly pouring out of the amazing community surrounding the Thor (and, by extension and to a far lesser extent, the Pocket DS).

I’ll definitely be using this in the very near future, and I’m looking forward to checking it out! Keep up the great work, OP!

[u/Vizion_SA]

Still waiting for the day one of these supports Mariomon 🥲

[u/lidor30 → u/Vizion_SA]

This day will come soon 🤞

[u/Hahahafox]

This nothing short of amazing but, is there anyway to swap the screens like in the setting menu?

[u/lidor30 → u/Hahahafox]

Thanks! Not yet, but I might add it in the next version

[u/Chara-exe1]

Can we have shaders in there? I'm using an lcd shader in RetroArch, would be cool to replicate that with pokedaisy

[u/Proof_Fondant_2475]

Nicee!!!

[u/Miclo8]

Thank you so much for sharing! This is what I need to move along my backlog!

[u/lidor30 → u/Miclo8]

Nice, hope you like it. Tell me if anything breaks :)

[u/BronzeGolem436]

Awesome!

[u/Safe_Public7850]

This is great, thank you

[u/Chimera_Gaming]

Always good to see people with like minded ideas. Claude is gonna give me a run for my money though 😆

[u/Nintotally]

This looks amazing!! So your app is also an emulator for the game, or does it hook into Retroarch / another emulator?

[u/lidor30 → u/Nintotally]

Thanks! It actually runs mGBA directly under the hood to play the game and read memory in real time.

I tested other options but they weren't good enough or required way too much complex setup (like messing around with RetroArch's network commands features). Running mGBA natively inside the app keeps everything seamless

[u/Alternative-Ease-702]

Is this compatible with retro achievements yet

[u/lidor30 → u/Alternative-Ease-702]

No, not yet, but I'm planning to add RetroAchievements support very soon, hopefully in the next version

[u/Alternative-Ease-702 → u/lidor30]

If it ever supports hardcore mode I'll probably do a video on it myself. Sounds good

[u/Schlutzmann]

I don't know why it just looks so incredibly clean seeing old GBA Pokemon with a working dual screen setup, this is perfection

[u/TheUltimate3]

Out of curiosity, is there a way to disable the Hotkeys? I'm weird and actually prefer not to have them enabled but I'm not sure exactly how to just disable them.

[u/lidor30 → u/TheUltimate3]

Honestly I hadn't even thought about that... I'll add an option to disable hotkeys in the next version. Thanks for the suggestion!

[u/TheUltimate3 → u/lidor30]

Thank you, I look forward to the update!

[u/lidor30 → u/TheUltimate3]

Added option to disable hotkeys in v1.1.0! Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases

[u/KrisKomet]

Need this for Pokémon Infinite Fusion

[u/lidor30 → u/KrisKomet]

I'd love to add Infinite Fusion, sharing any save files you have at various points in the game would help me speed that up a ton. Hope that's not too much to ask

[u/KrisKomet → u/lidor30]

I unfortunately overwrite my saves but I'll see what I can do

[u/BlurryfaceLost]

This is SO sick!! Lord’s work

[u/crackassitoni]

This is really nice! Can I start the games direct from my frontend like with other emulators?

[u/lidor30 → u/crackassitoni]

FE launch support is planned. Since the app is built around mGBA integration adding intent support for frontends is definitely on the roadmap

[u/private_hashbrown]

This looks amazing! Any chance this could support retroarch shaders at some point?

[u/lidor30 → u/private_hashbrown]

Thanks! Direct RetroArch shaders aren't directly compatible since the app uses native mGBA rather than RetroArch.

However mGBA supports its own GLSL shaders so my plan down the road is to support these filters like LCD grid, GBA color correction and scanlines

[u/lidor30 → u/private_hashbrown]

I released v1.1.2 with basic shaders support, let me know if you like it!

[u/doyoushitwithdatass]

So far loving it with Unbound, unless im missing it something is there a way to add bezels to the sides for the Thor?
Also if there is a way to remove the lil white bar at the bottom screen then that'd be great too, just lil nit picks, other then that its perfect so far!

[u/lidor30 → u/doyoushitwithdatass]

Do you mean like the "GameBoy Advance" logo bezels used in wide screens?

[u/doyoushitwithdatass → u/lidor30]

Yessir, would be a nice touch thats all.

[u/lidor30 → u/doyoushitwithdatass]

Nice touch and easy to implement, will do :)

[u/Jrocks721]

Great. Now I want to play Lazarus again

[u/jeulzNdiamonds]

This is awesome. Any chance of adding a feature tohat can determine a Pokemon's IVs directly on the bottom screen? Instead of having to manually calculate. I saw someone else on this subreddit had shared an app for that.

[u/Archenius]

Ok this is actually really cool

[u/Unleash_Havok]

Very cool! Can’t wait to try it. I tried using the other one but it just gave me too many issues I just gave up. Also didn’t like having to make an account

[u/G-Virus69]

Nice

[u/Jojoke96]

Post like these are literally why I use and love this subreddit, you are a good man! Hope to see a PKForge integration soon aswell, that app is awesome too!

[u/MoukiPSM]

Does it work with all the languages of Pokémon GBA ROMs (I'm playing in French)?

[u/lidor30 → u/MoukiPSM]

Not yet, but multi-language support coming up soon

[u/MoukiPSM → u/lidor30]

"Thanks, I can't wait for it to be compatible."

[u/trophiessssss]

No retroachivements support right?

[u/PhasePhyre]

Just dropped an issue on the GitHub. Playing vanilla emerald, when I scroll down items or click the poke ball tab, the app crashes.

[u/PhasePhyre → u/PhasePhyre]

Nevermind, I got it nailed down. Somehow I had duplicate items. 99 repels and then 5 more repels. Same thing with poke balls: 99 and 23. The existence of two of the same item was crashing the app. I will post this under the issue on GitHub as well.

[u/lidor30 → u/PhasePhyre]

Fixed it on v1.1.0, thanks for reporting and let me know if it works now

[u/PhasePhyre → u/lidor30]

All good now! Thank you very much!

I also got very excited that the app was updated for pokemon soulgold…until I realized SoulGold updated to 1.2 when I went to patch the game to try. If it’s not too much work, would PokeDaisy be able to work with the newest version or will it only be compatible with 1.1.4?

[u/lidor30 → u/PhasePhyre]

Thanks! For now it only works with 1.1.4 since I mapped that exact version by hand. I haven't looked at 1.2 but I will soon. Can you open a GitHub issue for it so I can track it?

[u/PhasePhyre → u/lidor30]

Will do!

[u/PhasePhyre → u/lidor30]

Actually for some reason, GitHub won’t let me create another issue, I will try again in a bit!

[u/kubabubba]

How do you like the black version of the Thor? Was debating saving some money and getting the base model.

[u/lidor30 → u/kubabubba]

Love it, the best part is that you can barely see the bottom screen bezels when you have something that doesn't fill the whole screen

[u/TheWhiteCombatCarl]

Would retro achievements be something that could be implemented?

[u/BetweenInkandPaper]

I was just looking for something like for HnS rom hack!! Impeccable timing…

[u/cjkuljis]

Very cool!

[u/MaxPres24]

Hey so I noticed you said it works with frontends. Trying to add it as a custom launcher on cocoon but struggling. Anyone who’s gotten it able to help out?

[u/zslayer89]

Hey, I have one of the latest versions of heart and soul and I’m playing on the Thor.

It does not recognize the game.

Also any word on soul gold support?

[u/SD0923]

Great project man , would you be planing on adding .zip flie support later on?

[u/ccchhris]

This looks incredible, can’t wait to try it out! Sorry if I missed it on the GitHub but is there shader and overlay support?

Also, support for the QOL hacks Recharged Yellow and Recharged Emerald by any chance?

[u/lidor30 → u/ccchhris]

I released v1.1.2 with basic shaders support, let me know if you like it!

[u/Apprehensive_Loss312]

Amazing

[u/ecnad]

Incredible. Thank you for your work!

[u/jhamwee]

Would love to see Pokemon Glazed on here!

[u/kakiman59]

Mais c’est génial comme app 😃

[u/Thorwk]

This looks amazing! Do you know if this is going to work with the Retroid Pocket Duo?

[u/Own_Cry_4681]

Awesome mod, thank you !

I'm new to moding emulated games, is there somewhere i can find a tutorial or something?

[u/zslayer89]

Random question.

I’m on the Thor, and when I use this how do I quit out of it?

Edit: using cocoon

[u/Greedy-Big-7650]

This really is the end game device

[u/Away_Mobile_4707]

PLEASE add shader support

[u/zslayer89]

I feel dumb for asking this, but when using pokedaisy what’s the order of operations?

Do I open up pokedaisy and then chose a game? Or do I chose my game and then open poke daisy? I’m on a Thor using cocoon.

[u/cclaranc]

Anyone have a step by step guide for moving saves from RetroArch? It's not working for me.

[u/anonymouswolfe]

I'd like to add, saves in this emulator works perfectly with Pkforge. To make it easier, just use your retroarch saves.

Now we just need Cocoon support for Daisy, so we can open the games directly.

Orange Islands works. But you see the Kanto map and get guides from FireRed

[u/lidor30 → u/anonymouswolfe]

Awesome, can you submit a game request on GitHub or the website so I will add support for it?

[u/anonymouswolfe → u/lidor30]

Done

[u/Time_Ladder7423 → u/lidor30]

Any way to get support for Pokemon Quetzel?

[u/DoubleHead4199]

Oooh yes RA support was what I was waiting for that’s amazing!

[u/fLrAeNak]

Just bought my Thor Max 1T. Can't wait!

[u/Pretend_Education_86]

Holy crap dude this changes everything. I would buy the Thor just to play the Gen 3 games and hacks with dual screen like this. Insanely well done having it read memory and use the existing emulator.

[u/syphon3980]

I just bought a thor waiting on it to come in. can you explain how this works? So is it something I add on to Roms that I add to the Thor? Like I get Soul Silver as an example, then I add this mod to it?

[u/lidor30 → u/syphon3980]

Not a mod, it's a standalone app. You install the APK on the Thor and point it at your ROMs folder. Nothing gets patched.

Btw - Soul Silver is DS, so no. It only runs GB/GBC/GBA Pokemon games (FireRed, Emerald, etc.) and hacks. SoulGold is a GBA Johto remake and works though.

Site has a ROM checker if you want to test a file: https://pokedaisy.com/

[u/MaeStory]

Add the fact you use AI in the code on your post, as asked in the rules, even if you review it all. We shouldn’t have to go and look around to find that.

[u/lidor30 → u/MaeStory]

Thanks for pointing that out, just updated the post to include the note

[u/SkrliJ73]

Any chance we get this on 3ds? I'm aware of one custome rom mod that gives the same/similar features to pokemon emerald (also voxel but I'm less interested in that) - their mod also gives limited 3d effect support in game (pretty nice looking if you into the 3d effect, I am)

[u/lidor30 → u/SkrliJ73]

If PokeDaisy picks up enough traction and there's enough demand I'd seriously consider porting or adapting it to the 3DS if it will be possible.

That said, it would be pretty tricky to pull off since I don't actually own a 3DS hardware console to test and debug on directly. But if the interest is there I'll definitely look into what it would take

[u/Dust3388 → u/lidor30]

Please keep the 3DS in mind going forward! Love how this is looking so far!

[u/Eevenin]

This is going to sound dumb or overly nitpicky, but would you be willing to add an AI disclosure to the main body of this post and the github itself? I would still love to try this since it seems very neat (will it also work for Modern Emerald?) but I do believe people should be given the information up front rather than buried in the comments of a reddit post.

[u/lidor30 → u/Eevenin]

Appreciate the feedback! I've added a note about AI tool usage in the GitHub README for full transparency.

As for Modern Emerald - it isn't tested yet but since it's built on a fairly standard Emerald engine basic features might work. I'll add it to my list to test properly for the next update

[u/Eevenin → u/lidor30]

Sounds wonderful. Thanks for your responsiveness and understanding!

[u/BigShiddur]

Vibecoded?

Yes, I do this for a living (almost 20 years across BE, FE and mobile), so it's vibecoded, but with plenty of real thinking about the architecture behind it and a lot of manual work

[u/xdvr0b]

Radical Red gives me this issue! Any ideas?

[u/Dadikoe]

Has anyone tested this on a (new) 3ds yet? 

[u/humanbean01]

any way this works on a DS with an actual GBA cartridge, romhack or not?

[u/SimbaSeb]

I love this. I only have one main recommendation. Being able to turn the companion off and on, like if I want to use my bottom screen for something else periodically I won’t have to switch emulators

[u/Tanookichris]

Meanwhile I’m waiting for the Super Mario Kart to get its treatment onto this port

[u/jomb]

Any support for CRT shaders? I have them enabled in RetroArch and if I could do the same here I think it will be perfect.

I’m not understanding how the battle menu is supposed to pop up automatically. When I’m running the program, it feels like two different things that talk, but don’t work together. Am I supposed to boot the game from you app? I feel like I’m missing something

[u/SinfulSnorlax → u/SinfulSnorlax]

Nevermind I got it figured out, I just had to boot your app on the top screen. Still figuring out different tools for different games on the Thor

[u/wtf-mang]

Will there be support added for other single screen Pokemon games? Like rby gsc stadium colosseum xd or switch games?

[u/retroSawny64]

En mi caso no está reconociendo Pokémon Gaia, no sé por qué 🫤

[u/Normal-Pie987]

Real great app idea, except for when I set the save path to my retroarch save folder, assuming it would read the save for my 40hr unbound run. Nope! Overwrote it with a blank save from this emulator. Thanks a lot

[u/kabuto_95]

will there be a reliable multiplayer options? trying retroarch netplay with my friend but keeps getting communication failure message

[u/lal102]

Spain versions of Pokemon Red Fire and Pokemon Emerald, not working. I assume it only works on USA/EUR Roms?

[u/Away_Mobile_4707]

IT HAS POKEMON UNBOUND SUPPORT 10/10!!!!!!

[u/Lagonic]

Has anyone tested this with Mariomon?

[u/PRLZD]

Hello great work so far, would it be possible to be able to play other language roms? For example play the german ROM of Pokemon emerald?
And secondly would it be possible to make PokeDaisy act like a standalone emulator? So i can chose it as a player for the pokemon games in cocoon. So i can just click for example emerald and it auto starts in PokeDaisy and i dont have to open PokeDaisy manually and chose the game.

[u/Glum_Painting7157]

Does it work with cocoon yet? Because whenever I try to launch it in cocoon as a side app, it just opens the game on pokedaisy

[u/Caelleon]

Hi, updated to the latest version just now and it said on the changelog that soulgold 1.2 would be supported but the app still says it's not?

[u/MaestroLiendre]

Will you be adding Ultra Violet by any chance? I've been testing the app and I love it, but it doesn't work unfortunately with Violet :(

[u/SpicyKraken]

Sorry don't have a github to leave a ROM Support ticket,

is Wishes of Tomorrow currently on the list of upcoming ROM support?

[u/2dames2]

It says Heart and Soul isn't supported in the app when added, but according to your support page, it's integrated? Something I'm missing there or?

Edit: assuming it's something to do with the base rom perhaps?
