LÖVE2D · Bring your own ROM · Mods · Link play · Save editor
A native LÖVE2D recreation of all 6 Poke Gen 1 and 2 games.
And before you say, "that's not a recomp", you're wrong. Recomp is an acronym. Reverse Engineering Causes Obsessive Mental Problems
What it is
Make the game your own
The engine and map behavior are hand-written Lua; game data and graphics are decoded from a ROM supplied by the player. This project does not include a ROM, emulate the Game Boy, transpile assembly, or download a disassembly. A canonical US Poke Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, or Crystal ROM is the only game content input.
Bring your own ROM
The ROM is verified, used during import, and then released from memory. It is not copied into the cache. Later launches load the private generated cache and do not ask for the ROM again.
We do not condone or support piracy. Roms are only legally attainable through the process of dumping your own physical cartridge. Google GB Cartridge dumper and buy the first one you see. Or buy them all idc.

Modding
A built in mod platform
Content registries, events and hooks, per-mod saves and options, and an in-game manager. Maps can be edited in our own build of Tiled and exported back out as a mod. There are also a ton of community made tools to help with maps or mods in general. The full modding guide lives on the wiki found in our github repo.
We are NOT affiliated with gen1recomp[.]com
That website is not run by this project, was not authorized by us, and we have no idea who operates it. It is impersonating this project; do not download anything from it. This GitHub repository and the Discord are the only official sources.
We are ALSO not affiliated with the project known as "Gen2Recomp[ed]"
That is a fork of this project, it is allowed to exist, but just for clarity is not and was never affiliated with this project nor Boi's Club Games in any way.
