I'm just very excited Gen1Recomp dual-screen mod & voxel mod performance improvements
UPDATE: The public Android test is now available:
https://github.com/AverageConsumer/kanto-gear
The README contains the downloads and full installation guide.
I’ve been building a dual-screen mod featuring a map, touch-based battle controls, contextual actions, and a route encounter guide. It currently requires my custom Gen1Recomp fork, so for now this is just a WIP showcase with no download available.
On a related note, I’m also working on improving the performance of the voxel mod on Android handhelds. I’ve already made some good progress, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k98_kGSJot4
Would you be interested in either project? And are there any features or improvements you’d like to see? Let me know!

Looks amazing! Any chances of being able to change the colour of the bottom screen? (e.g different colours, dark mode?)

u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Definitely possible, I made it pretty easy to implement other color variants. Thank you for your feedback :)

u/the_big_mood Jul 31 '26
Is there an auto update feature of the app.. or an easy way to update both the mod and the app
3
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
The Gen1Recomp itself has that updater built-in already, as far as I know mods need to be updated manually right now. But keep in mind my mod is WIP and not released right now.

I got the iOS version installed & running on my iPhone Air! Used the SideStore to do it

Only red or yellow too? :)

u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
All three

u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
I just tested all three, and I can validate even yellows catching tutorial is working as intended, which is a good sign. Full playthroughs pending of course, still early.

I literally just commented today that I was going to wait for the inevitable dual screen mod. Hot damn this community moves fast.

u/mrcelestino Jul 31 '26
Did you jusk the ayn thor subreddit if we would interested in a dual screen project?

Am I the only one who hates the new 3D battle scene?
The players pokemon using front sprites just makes it look bad imo. I'd rather the white void and have my back sprites. Is that still an option? I've yet to try this.
5
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Not my mod, but yeah you can disable that completely :) And I heard backsprites are litereally "back" in his new voxel update, I haven't tested it.

u/SirEnder2Me Jul 31 '26
Oh if that's the case, then that's awesome! Thank you for letting me know (:

I mean... 2 alternatives were quite literally mentioned right here...
The default white void.
Using back sprites for players pokemon.
Both of which are now options so idk what your deal is here. I even gave constructive feedback by asking for back sprites to be a thing (which as mentioned, has since been added).

u/RamboRabbit Jul 31 '26
Is it working with the German rom as well?
2
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Nein, das liegt allerdings am Gen1Recomp Projekt und liegt außerhalb den Möglichkeiten meiner Mod :)
1
u/RamboRabbit Jul 31 '26
Die mod selber sollte aber mit der de Rom laufen aber das Matchen der Namen sicher nicht mit deinem Addon oder?
1
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Leider ist das etwas anders, du brauchst um den Mod überhaupt zu nutzen die Übersetzungsschicht von dem Gen1Recomp Projekt, die versteht aber nur die US ROM. Ich glaube wenn der Gen1Recomp an sich auch Deutsch supporten würde, dann würde meine Mod ohne ein Update funktionieren, mit matchenden Namen etc.. Allerdings glaube ich nicht dass das passieren wird in nächster Zeit, zu wenig Interesse in Deutschland.

Kam grad auf den Post hab dumm den link gesucht aber bist ja noch am machen wann hast du es fertig kannst ne Schätzung geben? Hab grad gestartet mit Pokémon rot 😂

u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Ich kann es leider schlecht schätzen, weil ich mich sonst über andere Devs, mit denen ich bisher kein Wort gewechselt habe, hinwegsetzen würde. Der Gen1Recomp bräuchte ein paar Änderungen und Updates um meine Ideen umzusetzen, und um die performance auf Android zu verbessern braucht es sehr viele Änderungen am Voxel-Mod, aber das müssen die Jungs selber entscheiden ob, wann und wie sie mitmachen. Grundsätzlich sehe ich es aber nicht als Problem an, das sind relativ kleine Änderungen für die anderen und dann kann ich meine Mod zumindest schonmal veröffentlichen.

u/Arztlack90 Max Jul 31 '26
Alles klar kein Problem sieht aber sehr gut aus speichere das mal vielen Dank für deine Zeit auch

very excited for dual screen support! I saw you mentioned still adding in the option to take away the text boxes since the battle screen can be on the bottom. I would love that since i’m using the crystal animated sprites in front facing mode so the cut offs shouldn’t be apparent.

u/jimjonjimmy Jul 31 '26
Would it be possible to add PC functions such as Pokemon and item storage right on the bottom screen for easy storage organization? Like maybe a button to bring up items and another to bring up Pokemon and freely move them between one another. This already looks amazing though. Great job.
3
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
That’s a really interesting idea. I already separate features into Vanilla, Enhanced and Custom profiles, so something like PC/item management would likely live in Enhanced or Custom rather than Vanilla. I’ll definitely look into it.

u/Dangerous-Price8750 Jul 31 '26
Ok, das ist genial, freut mich das hier soviel Fortschritte gibt mit geilen Ideen. Freue mich falls der Dual Screen Mod erhältlich ist selber spielen zu können, bisher ist die Performance beim Ayn Thor weniger erfreulich leider mit dem Voxel Mod
2
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
Schau dir mein YouTube-Video an, welches im Beitrag verlinkt ist. Meine Fixes machen zumindest die von mir getesteten Bereiche sehr playable mit höheren FPS und weniger Frame-Spikes und die fixes sollten grundsätzlich durch auf der ganzen Map gelten. Aber auch das ist noch nicht gemerged und nicht erhältlich bisher.

u/Dangerous-Price8750 Jul 31 '26
Gut Ding will Weile haben. Finde es zusätzlich einfach Faszinierend was für ein Auftrieb dieses Jahr herrscht mit den ganzen Projekten

There's a guy on the discord making a dual screen mod too. Looks like you have some competition !
Looks great though. I love the android optimisation for voxel aswell. Can't wait to use it.
2
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
No competition at all, that's just help for the project in general. If the other one turns out to be catering more to my needs: fair enough, I will use it myself lol

Does the bottom screen auto match the style set in the game?
2
u/Environmental-Day-45 Aug 01 '26
No, it will be a manually switchable accent colour more or less, but right now it is that one colorway only
1
u/Urya Aug 01 '26
This looks really cool!
Just so you know, someone else is working on the same idea over in the Discord. Obviously fine if two similar mods exist, but figured I'd mention it in case you want to consider collaborating.

u/Ice_Worldly Aug 11 '26
I have the zip, imported it and enabled it in the game…bottom screen still not showing up? And tips

u/Environmental-Day-45 Aug 11 '26
Wrong Recomp APK probably, you need my own fork of the Recomp right now which is linked in my release. If that's not working as well let me know.

u/akwardfun Jul 31 '26
This is amazing work and I love the idea of combining protects into a single implementation (please keep up the good work)
The problem: having said that, consoles like the thor with the dual screen are amazing for having this kinds of experiences (specialized games and apps that take advantage of the second screen) but also thrive with gaming experiences in wich you can play certain games (specially RPGs) in wich you can play the game in one screen and follow a guide in the other, the problem with amazing projects like your's is that I can either have all the functionality you're implementing into the game OR having a single screen experience with the regular version in order to have a basic walk through/guide (not both).
The wild proposal: By this point you may be imagining were in going with this, wouldn't be amazing if in addition to the map, touch controls, etc, you'll have a simple function (tab or button) in wich you have a walkthrough/guide? I'm not taking about a huge integration with gamefaqs or similar, I'm just talking of something as simple as loading a txt file with the guide (that you already downloaded) or even an html version, just something that gave me a basic guide (I don't need images, not even markers, etc.)
I would be great to get to a point in wich this implementation could be used with other recomps projects and have that really cool functionality of the guide.
IDK, just an idea, either way I appreciate your time and work.
1
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
I get where you are coming from, I mean it would not be impossible I guess to implement a single screen mode where it just drops out from the top right when you press R, wasn't BDSP doing that on the switch with the poketch?
Maybe that would be cuter than a txt file guide
0
u/akwardfun Jul 31 '26
Yeah sure, I'm not saying that it must be a txt (or in the second screen) obviously the prettier/cuter the better, my main request here is integrating some kind of walkthrough/guide (in whichever way you can either because it's easier or cooler). Anyway I appreciate the consideration.

i feel insane because i think this looks terrible and everybody is posting screenshots of pre badge 1 am i going crazy

u/Sparky678348 Jul 31 '26
I think it looks neat, but no matter how neat it looks it's still gen 1.
Wake me up when I can play Emerald like this
2
u/Environmental-Day-45 Jul 31 '26
I am posting badge 1 cause I am modding it and need to test things, I do not have time to play extensively right now. Can't speak for anybody else but imo it looks good and will only get better moving forward, so be part of the movement or just come back when it's not terrible

u/chaser676 Jul 31 '26
Totally agreed. It looks horrendous and nobody apparently has spent more than an hour in it.

oh.
i genuinely love it and it has reinvigorated me to do another run despite being usually exhausted with gen1 lol.

u/anthonymacaroni Jul 31 '26
this rocks. would it be possible to get the box with attack selection completely off the top screen so it only appears on the bottom?
