Hello there everyone! I have a large project I will be working on and wanted to share it will all of you.

PK-GBA Multiplayer

This mod has one ambitious goal: to become the ultimate multiplayer mod for 3rd gen pokemon games.

Features:
-Firered and Leafgreen 1.0 and 1.1 versions
-4 player support
-Animations for many things the players can do.
-No editing the rom. If you have any bugs or issues, reloading the rom will remove them.
-Robust internet support.
- Good fast forward support.

This pertains to a games player than it does a hack, so it's been approved and moved here.

Yo, you should probably advertise this thread on your youtube (especially on the next update) as the only link that directs here is the readme.md of the github repo.

Very cool!

 

[Pokémon Hack Lab]

Amazing!
I will definitely follow the project.

We need more documentation for the ipconfiguration mate.

Is there a way to make this work for other roms like SoulSilver?

Incredible!! I was just thinking about this the other day. Imagine connecting the GBA through the multiplayer port to USB and battling online..

So I KNOW it wasn't intentional,. but I gave this a whirl with Gaia and it somehow worked. Aside from P2's sprite breaking, it WORKED and a friend n' I could even pull off a trade without any major issues.

Considering the dude went radio silent for like 6 months plus, its safe to assume this is dead in the water. He went from posting multiple times a month to literally nothing and zero activity on all social medias. Once he realized the titan task of scripting combat he gave up.

Stinky. He's probably busy with IRL matters and this at the same time. This was probably ALWAYS gonna take a long while, cuz I can't imagine both recreating this for RSE AND programming it to have cross-play with FRLG would go seamlessly.

Plus, other ROM hacks have taken ages of months for even teeny updates. Have you seen Saffron or Gaia?

The good thing about this being LUA is that we have the source, so other people can tweak the code to improve it.

Also, it seems to work with hackroms, which is very promising. Sucks to not be a coder otherwise I'd be rehashing the code for Gen2 support and get Prism working on that thing. Still, FRLG alone is a lot to enjoy with friends given most hackroms being FRLG hacks.
