Ruby and Sapphire 1.0/1.1/1.2 import, play, save, convert and link. Gen 3 shaders, braille, weather and reflection parity, link room players, RS custom carts and launcher support, Gen 3 link fixes for Emerald and FireRed/LeafGreen.
Second batch of the Gen 3 review work: the review lanes closed their queues
and the test gate grew with them.
Review census: 139 routed findings -- 118 fixed, 14 invalid (the report had
Gen 4+ semantics in more than one place), 6 struck as stale after
re-verification, 1 re-routed. Every fix carries its own pret citation in
docs/game3/review-v3-triage.md; the E10 opcode closure is itemised in
docs/game3/e10-opcode-spec.md (18 ops wired, 2 reclassified to the seam class).
Representative ROM-grounded changes:
- The POKéMON start-menu entry is now gated on FLAG_SYS_POKEMON_GET the way
retail does it (pokefirered/src/start_menu.c:217-218, flag 0x828).
- Money ops read their amount raw and gate the change on the disable byte
(pokefirered/src/scrcmd.c:1798-1830, pokefirered/asm/macros/event.inc:1166-1186);
random and the warp family VarGet theirs
(pokefirered/src/scrcmd.c:455-461, :719-731).
- The HM table matches FRLG: there is no Whirlpool HM
(pokefirered/include/constants/items.h:411-418).
- The day-care party-full guard follows src/daycare.c:525, :1081.
- Knock Off keeps its battle-scoped send-out mask
(pokefirered/src/battle_script_commands.c:2730-2752, :4489), carried from
the first batch.
Structural work: the I6/I9/J1 architecture items landed as seams (profile
selector, capability flags, font provider, virtual-object layer), the adopted
footprint register keeps a KEEP verdict, the quantizer target is met, and the
30 drain items plus carves 1-4 are folded in.
Tests: T6 now runs 282 top-level suites (273 + 9 new), the re-sweep ends at
267 pass / 0 fail, the engine tier is 634 suites, modkit 37, and the full
gate ran green twice with T3 active on an imported Red cache. Documented
skips are the lua5.4 oversize-save oracle where lua5.4 is absent and the
config-partials listed in docs/game3/game3-artifact-conversions-v3.md.
Docs shipped: review-v3-triage.md, e10-opcode-spec.md, rse-seams.md,
game3-suite-sweep-v113.md, game3-artifact-conversions-v3.md,
test-baseline-v3.md (plus the first-batch docs already on the branch).
- Doors:
- Fix Viridian City Gym and Dojo warp doors registering as wooden house doors; map metatile 0x15B to SlidingDouble animation and SE_SLIDING_DOOR (18).
- Embed full FRLG metatile fallback lookup table and support CacheFs/Dataset.cache() for door textures and manifests.
- Scripting & Movement (Fixes#2356):
- Add support for jump movement opcodes (jump_2_down, jump_in_place, etc.) for both player and NPC objects.
- Implement scriptJump routines updating cell coords and triggering jump trajectory animations.
- CacheFS & GBA ROM Extraction:
- Wire CacheFS persistence across storage, region map, battle AI/moves, items, pokedex chrome, multichoice, and easy chat extractors for Android portability.
- Fix box storage chrome extraction palette/shadow colors and duplicate label bug.
- Add region map chrome extraction and interactive Town Map rendering.
- Performance & Android Optimization:
- Eliminate dynamic per-frame require/pcall lookups in battle render/update loops.
- Pre-allocate particle sort comparator in AnimVm to avoid per-frame closures.
- Cache palette shader uniform uploads and blend state in AnimPal/AnimVm.
- Pool scratch color tables in FrlgFont to remove garbage generation during text token scanning.
- Harden audio FFI caching and m4a worker initialization for sandboxed environments.
- Tests:
- Add test suites for Viridian Gym doors, jump opcodes, storage chrome, and town map caching.
