The linux-arm64 AppImage, the SBC PortMaster zip and the RG34XXSP zip
shipped LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 (2017): Debian bullseye's libluajit-5.1-dev for
the AppImage, PortMaster's love_11.5 runtime library for the zips. With
the JIT enabled, beta3 segfaulted 3/3 runs on a TrimUI Brick; LuaJIT v2.1
commit c6ffc141 ran a 26-minute JIT-on soak without a crash.
- Build LuaJIT c6ffc141 from a sha256-pinned tarball in a digest-pinned
debian:bullseye (glibc 2.31) with the same apt sources as the AppImage
builder; compile with PREFIX=/usr so no build path is baked into
package.path, stage-install, and verify before use.
- AppImage: compile it inside the builder instead of libluajit-5.1-dev,
bundle it with jit/*.lua and its license; cache keys include the LuaJIT
commit, recipe hash and Dockerfile hash.
- PortMaster zips: replace libs.aarch64/libluajit-5.1.so.2 with the pinned
build, pin the PortMaster runtime to commit 715f50fd with sha256 checks
(rg34xxsp followed main), ship LuaJIT-COPYRIGHT, verify the finished zip.
- verify_luajit.sh gates every package: version string, not beta, aarch64
ELF, /usr module path, max GLIBC <= 2.31; offline selftests cover it and
the PortMaster helpers.
- CI/release build LuaJIT once on an arm64 runner and pass it to the zip
jobs via GEN1RECOMP_LUAJIT_LIB.
The JIT stays off by default (LÖVE's jitsetup disables it on arm/arm64).
POKEPORT_JIT=1 needs stability testing on H700, RK3566 and A133P devices
before it can be enabled by default.

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.
build_ps4.sh mirrors build_switch.sh: --fetch downloads the pinned LÖVE for
PS4 runtime and checks its SHA-256, --loose packs a plain game.love, --fused
makes gen1recomp-<ver>-ps4.pkg with the runtime's fuse-pkg.sh.
Ships the CI fix together with the test-harness work that supports it, so
every tier stays honest on every machine.
scripts/test.sh
- T6 records missing-artifact failures as skips when no imported game3 data
exists at all (empty CI identity, no data/generated): the data-driven
top-level suites assert instead of self-skipping on a fresh runner. The
skipped suite names are printed with that reason; with data present the
same failure gates exactly as before.
- The T3 content verdict now weighs the exit code and the FAIL-line allowlist
together. The exit code used to be discarded, so a mid-run crash
(unresolvable require under POKEPORT_DATA_DIR) printed green checks, zero
FAIL lines, and passed. A non-zero exit with no FAIL line is reported as a
crash with the error line captured - a crash is not a pass.
Test-suite fixes, each run green (several twice)
- tests/run_tests.lua: restore per-suite leaked state and add the Data seam,
so one suite's loaded data cannot leak into the next.
- tests/mod_runtime_tests.lua: save and restore the environment around each
case.
- tests/parity_ss_anne_rooms.lua: _loadModule raw-order fix (30/30).
- tests/parity_ss_anne_departure.lua: the Data seams plus the playMap stub.
- playMap stubs for parity_rival_walkoff, parity_tower_rival,
parity_silph_rival_bug2241 and parity_ss_anne_guard.
- Class-B seams in mod_registry_tests, mod_catalog_tests, mod_ui_tests,
parity_ball_shake_anim, parity_wavy_screen, parity_hidden_coins_bcd_bug1810,
parity_mart_stock and parity_rocket3_sight_bug1814.
Together these close the 57 failing checks that were on the content tier
(allowlist stays at 0), so a content run on a machine with imports ends
ALL TESTS PASSED.
Second wave of fixes from the Gen 3 codebase review (210 findings), the
regressions the full-suite sweep surfaced, and a T6 tier so the top-level
tests/game3_*.lua suites run inside ./scripts/test.sh instead of outside it.
Battle: Knock Off and Thief/Trick item persistence follow the ROM, not the
review - the party slot is never written through during battle, and the
knocked-off mask suppresses the item on later send-outs
(pokefirered/src/battle_script_commands.c:2731 MOVE_EFFECT_KNOCK_OFF with the
STICKY_HOLD guard at :2732, opponent-steal guard at :2610-2622, mask use at
:4489). Rapid Spin keeps its one-per-use chain order (:8435-8474); Growl
keeps pret's target (src/data/battle_moves.h, include/battle.h:63).
Scripting: operand layouts match pret/asm/macros/event.inc - givemon 15 bytes
(:989-997), comparestat {B,W} (:1573-1576), setptr/loadbytefromptr/setptrbyte
take a word pointer (:118-137). 18 of the 20 E10 ops are wired per
src/scrcmd.c (per-op citations in docs/game3/e10-opcode-spec.md), money and
random and the warp family read their operands as VarGets
(src/scrcmd.c:1798-1830, :455-461, :719-731), and the day-care party-full
guard is in place (src/daycare.c:525,:1081).
Field and UI: fishing counts rounds as the ROM does
(src/field_player_avatar.c:1740-1765), an unresolved map section no longer
reports Pallet Town (src/region_map.c:3782), and a font provider sits behind
a FireRed capability/profile seam.
Save data: profile-driven Options.block, a save version round-trip, and slot
id validation that blocks path traversal (slotDiskPath("firered", "../evil")
returns nil).
Importer: the parallel import path now writes both completion markers,
object kind/clone bytes decode as pret defines them
(include/global.fieldmap.h:110-130), and the HM table drops Whirlpool
(include/constants/items.h:411-418).
Tests: six new scenario suites (battle_ai, capture, event, menu, move,
overworld) and eight engine suites (profile, capabilities, cache paths, font
provider, options block, save version round-trip, version dispatch,
versions_game). T6 runs every top-level game3 suite at GAME3_JOBS default 8
with per-suite logs, failure cause classification and a KNOWN_GAME3_FAILURES
ceiling of 23 as a shrinking guard.
Docs: the working notes under docs/game3 (triage ledger, pret citation audit,
e10 opcode spec, RSE seams, sweep v3/v113, test baseline, artifact
conversions, merge trial).
Full gate at this snapshot: exit 0, all tiers passed - engine 624/624,
T6 279/279 (0 known, 0 fresh failures), gen2 146/146, modkit 37/37, luacheck
clean, privacy gate 3/3 over a 9,711-file publication set.
dev added the public Encounters.tableFor export (MapCatalog resolution,
prefix stripping, route normalization) at the same point in
src/core/game3/encounters.lua where this branch inserts the cooldown
block. The two changes are purely additive, so both are kept: dev's
export sits next to table_for where it belongs, followed by the
cooldown/rate-test block.
scripts/lint.sh auto-merged cleanly, keeping both dev's PATH export for
node_modules/.bin and ~/.luarocks/bin and this branch's luacheck --version
probe.
Re-verified after the merge that dev's RNG-parity commit does not shift
the encounter goldens: 88/88 cooldown checks still pass, including the
Route 1 4000-step counts (401 with the grace period vs 858 without).

luacheck 1.2.0 is the newest release and predates Lua 5.5, which made
generic-for control variables read-only. Built against Lua 5.5 it dies
loading luacheck.standards -- before linting a single file -- so the T0
gate can never pass, and the failure surfaced only as a raw loader
traceback that looks like a repo defect.
Probe `luacheck --version` before the real run:
- if it cannot run, print the captured error plus the Lua 5.4 install
command and exit 2, matching the existing not-found path
- if it runs but reports Lua 5.5, warn that 1.2.0 predates it and that
results are suspect, then lint anyway
CI is unaffected: it installs luacheck against Ubuntu's Lua, not 5.5.

- Change application ID to 'com.theboisclub.pokemonred.dev' for development builds.
- Introduce FireRed manifest handling in build scripts and ensure its validation during packaging.
- Update various scripts to include FireRed resources in the build process.
- fixed a lot of the cachefs extraction to work on android
bullseye hit EOL on 2026-08-31; deb.debian.org now serves an expired
bullseye-security InRelease and its pool already 404s, while
archive.debian.org has only the main suite (whose libc6 is older than the
one baked into the debian:bullseye image). Pin both suites to the
2026-08-31 snapshot so the image builds again and stays reproducible.
Drop the pointless zip wrapper around the x86_64 AppImage, harden HostShell
so bundled curl keeps APPDIR libs while host curl scrubs LD_LIBRARY_PATH /
Steam LD_PRELOAD, and add a Flatpak channel with --device=all, bundled
curl, and AppStream releases metadata. Portable mode now probes writability
with a unique temp file and falls back soft on RO mounts / Flatpak.
Seed Mt Moon Super Nerd dialogue (#1743), play item-use heal jingles
(#1635), use white fades for fly/teleport warps (#1644), add a
Yellow-only Advanced palette overlay (#1639), parse Yellow Super Rod
data including Safari Dragonair (#1074), and apply title rOBP0 when
baking Pikachu eye OAM so pupils stay black with white glints.
Stop joining ChipAudio on every EXIT GAME, always rebuild the Gen1 Game
module on Play-again, and treat iOS like Android for return-to-launcher so
release/mobile LOVE restarts no longer wipe Game.load or crash on quit.
Crystal boots from a user-supplied ROM, imports a full cache and is playable:
copyright, the Crystal intro movie, the animated title, gender select, Oak,
and out into Johto. 122 of the cart's 169 script specials are implemented.
Import and data
- tools/make_crystal_manifest.py derives the manifest by importing
make_gold_manifest as a library, with three additive keyword seams. Gold and
Silver still regenerate byte-identical, which is the standing requirement for
touching that generator.
- crystal_symbol_deltas.py and crystal_movie_symbols.py carry the symbol delta:
Crystal renames the credits mons, splits the trainer card, Pokegear and
pack-pal blocks by gender, and replaces the intro and title outright.
- Crystal-only manifest keys: engineFlagOrder (162 flags to Gold's 93, so the
badge block sits one higher) and unownCharmap (the main charmap parser stops
at the first newcharmap so the two cannot contaminate each other).
Extractor
- RomExtractorGen2 becomes three-edition. Crystal corrections: PAL_MAP_BANK
0x13, a flat PICS_FIX pic bank, audio bank 0x5e, the mapSongs id-100 hole,
seven NPC trades, a TradeTexts stride of 8, the five Crystal tileset anim
steps with per-row degrade, and the column-major trainer card portraits.
- New: animated front sprites (frames, bitmasks, play and idle scripts), the
Battle Tower roster, Kris assets, Mobile System GB art, and the Crystal
intro and title via src/import/CrystalMovie.lua.
Engine
- GameVersion gains engine(id) and fixes(id). Gold and Silver keep their
original bugs where the bug is not hardware dependent; Crystal gets the fixes
Crystal shipped: Lucky Number boxes 10-14, surfing onto an NPC, and the
Reflect and Light Screen defence overflow.
- Crystal story: Suicune and Eusine, Celebi behind the GS Ball flag, the Ruins
of Alph chambers, Buena, the Move Tutor, the Poke Seer, and the Battle Tower
including the wInBattleTowerBattle badge-boost guard.
- Kris and the gender flag, animated fronts in battle and the summary screen,
and mon caught data.
Verification
- Every extracted asset is pixel-compared against pret's own source PNGs.
- Gold caches are byte-identical before and after, file for file.
- New Crystal suites plus a T2 Gen 2 tier; the full suite passes.
