Emerald hack: Pokemon R.O.W.E. 2.0 - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 9, 16 Badges, Sevii Islands, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)

Please do not pressure the developer. Several notable hacks were canceled because of the pressure imposed on them by the players, Sharp Diamond and Smooth Pearl are solid examples of that. ROM Hacking is fueled by passion, and as a result, they are allowed to take their time if they deem fit.
 
Idk the details, I can check on PC later, but at the download link there is a mgba fork, that comes with cries. may be worth checking out for windows or possibly Linux w/ wine
 
I dunno about trying any Emerald Rom Hacks using mGBA on Wine. I've tried running mGBA on Wine and it straight up crashes the game when you go into your bag. I'll try it with others including this fork but that's what my experience is so far.

I've been playing on Linux using the mGBA (for Linux) without any real issues. I have managed to pretty much complete at least one romhack in its entirety but I understand this is a special version of mGBA.

EDIT: On discord the dev says:

"The cries are not yet programmed, they will come in a future version of the companion"

This is in regards to the sounds that come with the fork.

The dev is referring to the companion app. The latest version of this app is from Aug 2023.

The game is still in development, I know not everyone has access or wants to use discord and I have been updating some screenshots there every once in a while so I made a recompilation of those screenshots to share here so you don't have to join to see them, some of these screenshots were remade since I lost the original ones and added a couple of new screenshots not seen before[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon R.O.W.E. 2.0 - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 9, 16 Badges, Sevii Islands, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)

Hello everyone!

As some of you may or may not know, tomorrow marks the 4th anniversary of Pokémon R.O.W.E. since its first public release! To celebrate this milestone, we have something special planned. With the help of Mega Fidough, we'll be streaming an alpha version of 2.0, giving you all a sneak peek at what's coming this December when the full update is officially released to the public.

I'll update this message once I have an exact time for the stream, so stay tuned for details. I'm also working on a trailer for the release, though it's still in progress. In the meantime, you'll get to see the game in action during tomorrow's stream. I hope you're as excited as I am to see what's in store—see you all tomorrow!

Here's Mega Fidough's YouTube channel:

Make sure to check out his videos, especially the ones covering our friends at Elite Redux!

And, as a little teaser, here are some screenshots of new content:
