Kanto Gear 1.0.0 — public hardware test

Kanto Gear puts a Gen 1 companion on a supported second Android display while
the normal game stays on the main display.

This first Android public build is verified on an AYN Thor running Android 13.
It is intended for comparable Android dual-screen handhelds, but their display
behavior and performance still need community testing. It is not an official
Gen1Recomp release.

Install

  1. Install gen1recomp-0.1.60-kanto-gear-android-test.apk from the
    Gen1Recomp Android test fork.
  2. Download the attached Kanto-Gear-Mod-1.0.0.zip and import it from the
    host's MODS tab.
  3. Optionally import DRAMATIC_SHAPE-1.5.2-android.1.zip from the
    Voxel performance fork.

This Kanto Gear release contains only the mod ZIP and its checksum. The host
APK and optional Voxel Mod remain in the repositories that own them.

Your own supported Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow ROM is required. No ROM or
ROM-extracted game data is included.

Future host APKs use the same package ID and signing key. Install them over the
existing Android test app to keep its ROM cache, saves and settings; do not
uninstall it when updating. An exported save backup is still recommended.

Tested set

  • Gen1Recomp Android test: 0.1.60 for Kanto Gear 1.0.0
  • Kanto Gear: 1.0.0
  • Dramatic Shape Android performance fork: 1.5.2-android.1 (optional)

Highlights

  • live Kanto map, party, steps, field tools, guide and area pages
  • touch-driven battles, dialogue choices, move learning and PC lists
  • automatic recovery when the second display disappears on the tested Thor
  • handheld, external-screen and automatic display targeting
  • optional purist and enhanced assistance profiles

Known limits

  • AYN Thor Android 13 is the confirmed reference device. Comparable Android
    dual-display hardware is expected to work but is not yet confirmed.
  • The optional Voxel performance fork is an Android-only companion release. It
    is promising on the Thor but is not claimed to improve every device. PC users
    should use the official Dramatic Shape release.
  • Fancy Voxel water with V-CURVE may fall back to normal animated tiles on the
    Thor's Adreno GPU.

Please report fork problems to the matching AverageConsumer repository, not to
the upstream projects unless the problem also reproduces on their official
release.
