Lastest version: 0.5.3 - December 30, 2012

While the Android port is ready to be released, it will take some days until it show up on Google Play.

Portable homebrew-emulator for Pokémon-Mini.

0.5.x features a debugger and "sync cycles" option which allow improving performance (at cost of accuracy) along with many other features, improvements and new platforms



Please note that the emulator still in alpha phase.

Note for Linux users: Debugger have GTK+ and SDL dependencies.



... or even better, donate some of your extra gear to allow me to port into that system and provide full support during update, keep in mind that I live in europe.

About Pokémon-Mini games with colors

This was an experiment of how to add colors information into roms while remaining 100% compability, the real system doesn't support colors, only the emulator can display the extra information.

For full documentation check the documentation provided with the development package.

Extra notes

Check readme.txt for more information.
