# tumbledemerald
`tumbledemerald` is an open-source project to modernize and update Pokémon: Emerald Version.
[TOC]
## Description
tumbledemerald is a hack based on the [decompilation](https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald) of Pokémon Emerald by pret. The project's aim is to modify Pokémon Emerald to bring it up to the standards of modern Pokémon titles.
## Why?
About a year ago, I started working on the `pokecrystal` code to update and modernize it. That fell through for two main reasons:
- People were already doing it, a lot.
- I suck at assembly language.
[<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Gitpod-Open%20workspace-orange.svg?logo=GITPOD&style=for-the-badge">](gitpod.io/#gitlab.com/tbld/game.git) [<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Mastodon-gray.svg?logo=MASTODON&style=for-the-badge">](https://social.linux.pizza/@sataa)
Eventually, the project was put on hold while I looked for a new project to take on. I found the `pokeemerald` decompilation about a week later. It was nice, it was clean, and it seemed like almost no one was making QoL hacks out of it. It started as a "running indoors and Repel system" hack. Then it got bigger. And bigger. And bigger. That's about all there is to it; a little project to work on when I have nothing better to do.
## Installation
Compiling tumbledemerald requires a Linux-based system with the following packages installed:
## How do I play `tumbledemerald`?
Tumbled has [releases](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases) once or twice every week on average, with pre-compiled ROM images. I test the latest changes, run a [specific buildscript](https://gitlab.com/tbld/binaries/-/blob/main/scripts/gitpod.sh) to build the files, clean up the repository, and push it to GitLab.
- make (or gmake, if you have access to it specifically.)
- gcc
- g++
- git
- GNU arm-none-eabi binutils
For those who prefer to compile themselves, we have comprehensive [install documentation](INSTALL.md), or you can use the T.E.C.S. (TumbledEmerald Compilation Script) [here](https://gitlab.com/tbld/binaries/-/blob/main/scripts/main.sh)
Run this command to clone and compile `agbcc`, pret's toolchain:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pret/agbcc && cd agbcc && ./build.sh && ./install.sh <path to tumbledemerald>
```
If you're new to Linux or the build system in general, I recommend using Gitpod. If you opt to go that route, here's what you need to do:
Once you've found your way over to the releases, or compiled the latest code yourself, you'll need a way to run the game:
- Click the "Gitpod" button above.
- If you haven't signed up for GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket before, follow the steps provided on Gitpod's site to set up an account.
- You should launch into a tab with a terminal window at the bottom. Wait until you see `agbcc successfully installed!` in the terminal window before continuing.
- Type "make" (without the quotes) into the terminal and press "Enter".
> Please note that save files are not compatible between versions of the game, and regular Emerald saves are not compatible *at all*.
For more detailed compilation instructions, see [this](INSTALL.md) document.
### Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy micro, Game Boy Player, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS lite, Nintendo DSi, and Nintendo DSi XL/LL consoles
We recommend the usage of a device known as a "flashcart" to play `tumbledemerald` on the Game Boy line and Nintendo DS/DSi consoles. A cart we recommend can be found [here](https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/everdrive-gba-mini.html).
## Usage
tumbledemerald is a Game Boy Advance game. As such, you will need an [emulator](https://mgba.io) to play.
### Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL/LL, Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL/LL, and New Nintendo 2DS XL/LL consoles
All Nintendo 3DS and 2DS consoles will need to be modified by the end-user (that's you!) to play `tumbledemerald`.
> This is a limitation imposed by Nintendo's default software. There's no better way to go about this, sadly. (Believe me, I've looked!)
* Follow [the recommended guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide) to install the necessary software modifications onto the console.
> We are not liable for any hardware or software damage caused by this procedure. While we believe this process to be perfectly safe, and have used it ourselves, this is being done **at your own risk**.
## Support
If you:
* Download the latest `tumbledemerald.cia` package from the [releases](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases) page and transfer it to your console's SD or μSD card.
* Open the **FBI** application on your console.
- Select **SD** on the menu that appears.
- Navigate to the `tumbledemerald.cia` package.
- Select **Install and delete CIA**.
- Wait while the program is installed.
* Return to the HOME Menu and unwrap the "tumbledemerald version xx.xx" present.
* Launch the game and enjoy!

* want to become a contributor: Send a merge request!
### Nintendo Switch
## Roadmap
For the project roadmap, please check [here](ROADMAP.md).
All Nintendo Switch consoles will need to be modified by the end-user (that's you!) to play `tumbledemerald`.
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Please make a merge request here on GitLab using the provided template.
Running `tumbledemerald` on the Nintendo Switch is a little more complex than other platforms. Nevertheless, the instructions are relatively simple:
We're currently looking for:
* Follow [the recommended guide](https://switchgui.de) to install the necessary software modifications onto the console. Please note that later Nintendo Switch consoles, as well as all Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch (OLED version) consoles are not compatible with `tumbledemerald`.
> We are not liable for any hardware or software damage caused by this procedure. While we believe this process to be perfectly safe, and have used it ourselves, this is being done **at your own risk**.
* someone who can work with GBA music (to add a custom song).
* documentation contributions. Our documentation could use some updates!
* Windows buildscripts.
* volunteers to build CIA packages for tumbledemerald.
* debug menu developers.
* Download the latest `tumbledemerald.gba` file from the [releases](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases) page and transfer it to your console's μSD card.
* Open the [4TU QuickStore](https://apps.fortheusers.org/switch/quickstore) on your computer.
> If **Homebrew App Store** is selected, de-select it by clicking on it or touching it.
- Select **mGBA** from the list.
- Click **Download 1 Selected**.
- Copy the *contents* of the downloaded `.zip` file to the [root](https://ibin.co/6xpoMqUta7Dm.jpg) of the µSD card, overwriting any existing files.
- Reinsert the µSD card and boot Atmosphère.
* Open the **Album** from Atmosphère's HOME Menu to open the Homebrew Menu.
* Open **mGBA**
* Browse to and select `tumbledemerald.gba`.
* Enjoy!
See [Installation](#installation) for directions on how to set up your system to compile.
### PlayStation Vita
`make` will usually stop you if it sees something wrong with your code. If the error is too vague, try running `make` with the `-d` argument (`make -d`). However, the only way to be completely certain is to test.
By default, tumbledemerald does not include Wireless Adapter support. See [this script](https://gitlab.com/tbld/scripts/-/blob/main/enable_rfu.sh) to re-enable this (for playing on a Game Boy Advance flashcart, for example.)
All PlayStation Vita consoles will need to be modified by the end-user (that's you!) to play `tumbledemerald`.
> This is a limitation imposed by Sony's default software. There's no better way to go about this, sadly. (Believe me, I've looked!)
* Follow [the recommended guide](https://vita.hacks.guide) to install the necessary software modifications onto the console.
> We are not liable for any hardware or software damage caused by this procedure. While we believe this process to be perfectly safe, this is being done **at your own risk**.

## License
Due to legal reasons, tumbledemerald does not have a license.
### Windows
On some devices, you may need to disable S mode before you can play `tumbledemerald`. For instructions on how to do so, see [this](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307) knowledge base article.
> Why do I need to disable these settings? Is this safe to use?
> mGBA, the program used on macOS to play `tumbledemerald` is perfectly safe to use. You are welcome to browse the [source code](https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba) to verify this. The reason that you may need to tweak system settings is due to the fact that `endrift`, mGBA's developer, has not submitted mGBA to the Microsoft Store. S mode allows **only** apps from the Microsoft Store, hence why S mode needs to be disabled.
> Disabling S mode won't cause your computer to lose any functionality. However, disabling S mode *is* permanent. Once disabled, S mode **can't be re-enabled**.
* Download the latest `tumbledemerald.gba` file from the [releases](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases) page.
* Install the latest version of [**mGBA**](https://mgba.io), depending on what kind of computer you have.
* Open **mGBA**
* Navigate to File > Load ROM.
* Browse to and select `tumbledemerald.gba`.
* Enjoy!
### macOS
Playing `tumbledemerald` on macOS is a bit more complicated due to macOS security features. You may have to change several preferences on your Mac before you can play.
See [this page](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491) for more details.
> Why do I need to disable these settings? Is this safe to use?
> mGBA, the program used on macOS to play `tumbledemerald` is perfectly safe to use. You are welcome to browse the [source code](https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba) to verify this. The reason that you may need to tweak system settings is due to the fact that `endrift`, mGBA's developer, has not gotten mGBA notarized and signed by Apple as of yet. Additionally, mGBA is *not* available in the Mac App Store. You will need to allow apps from outside the Mac App Store, and you may or may not need to add mGBA to the Gatekeeper whitelist.
* Download the latest `tumbledemerald.gba` file from the [releases](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases) page.
* Install the latest version of [**mGBA**](https://mgba.io), depending on what kind of Mac and/or what version of macOS you have.
* Open **mGBA**
* Navigate to File > Load ROM.
* Browse to and select `tumbledemerald.gba`.
* Enjoy!
### Linux
(No, I will *not* call it GNU/Linux.)
To play `tumbledemerald` on Steam Deck, we recommend the use of the standalone `mgba` program rather than RetroArch.
> Handy tip: When using Steam Deck in Desktop mode, press the Steam and X buttons simultaneously to open the virtual keyboard.
* Power on your Deck.
* Once Deck UI loads, press and hold the power key.
* Select **Switch to Desktop**.
- If you have never used Steam Deck's desktop mode, you will need to set a password. Do this now if necessary.
> mGBA can usually be found in your distribution's repositories or ports tree. If not, download the latest development `appimage` from [here](https://mgba.io/download)
* Open a web browser on your computer and download `tumbledemerald.gba` from [this page](https://gitlab.com/tbld/game/-/releases).
* Open the mGBA application.
* Navigate to File > Load ROM.
* Browse to and select `tumbledemerald.gba`.

* Select **Install**.
- You *will* be prompted to enter your password at this step. Don't forget it!
- If you have never used Steam Deck's desktop mode, you will need to install a web browser:
