GB Recompiled 0.1.0 is the first source-first fan-project alpha built around the current recompiler, shared runtime, and ROM-free port SDK.
Highlights
- Generates C from Game Boy ROMs and links it with the embedded, versioned runtime source snapshot.
- Adds exact-ROM native replacement, read-only port module, semantic-access, presentation, data-mod, and gameplay-mutation APIs.
- Includes the ROM-free Pokemon Crystal flagship source project with native tools, presentation experiments, deterministic mods, and M8 Challenge Mode.
- Keeps ROMs, generated game source, saves, RTC data, and user-selected paths out of the repository and release archives.
Packages
The attached archives contain gbrecomp, the runtime source snapshot, license, README, and release provenance for Linux x64, macOS Intel, macOS Apple Silicon, and Windows x64. GitHub's source archives remain available for building from source.
Validation and alpha boundary
All four attached GB Recompiled packages were built and passed their release-bundle relocation smoke test in GitHub Actions. The repository-owned suite passed 79/79 tests on macOS arm64.
Pokemon Crystal's clean-package vanilla and deterministic Challenge routes passed exact-ROM verification on macOS arm64. Exact-ROM package verification on Linux, macOS Intel, and Windows, plus the combined physical-controller Challenge Mode walkthrough, remain deferred. This release does not claim whole-game compatibility or physical-controller acceptance.
Users must supply their own legally obtained ROMs. No ROM or ROM-derived executable is included. This unofficial project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, Game Freak, or Creatures.
See the README for the first build and the Crystal port documentation for the exact supported-ROM and evidence boundaries.
