gen1recomp supported romswhich roms work w g1r deluxe aka gen1recomp
only the canonical us english roms are accepted. the importer checks the sha-1 before it creates any game data, so a rom hack, a patched rom or a bad dump gets turned away.
what happens to ur rom
its verified, used during import and released from memory. its never copied into the cache. later launches load the private generated cache and dont ask for the rom again.
game data, graphics and audio programs are decoded from it on first launch. music, sound effects and cries are synthesized while the game runs.
what u can hand it
whatever u dumped, more or less.
- a
.gb,.gbcor.gbafile - a
.zipor.7zthat holds one, where ur platform's build supports archives - or just drop it onto the window
- repeat for every game u own. all eleven import side by side and each gets its own tab
where to get one
we do not condone or support piracy. roms are only legally attainable by dumping ur own physical cartridge. google gb cartridge dumper and buy the first one u see. or buy em all idc.

questions ppl ask
more in the main faq.
my rom got rejected, why?
its sha-1 doesnt match one in the list. usually thats a different region or revision, a rom hack, a patched rom or a bad dump.
can i use a rom hack as the base rom?
no. a rom hack patch or a modified rom is not a substitute. mods are how u change the game here.
does the app keep a copy of my rom?
no. its verified, used during import and released from memory. its never copied into the cache.
can i import more than one game?
yes. all eleven can be imported side by side, and each one gets its own tab in the launcher.
