KaizoCore 1.0.0-rc15 (closed beta)

KaizoCore 1.0.0-rc15 (beta)

Install: download the .apk, allow installs from your browser or file manager when Android asks, open it. Install a newer APK over the old one; uninstalling wipes your games, saves, notes and attempt count.
Verify: the SHA-256 in the .sha256 file must match sha256sum KaizoCore-1.0.0-rc15.apk.
You need your own game dumps. Nothing here contains, links or fetches a ROM.

Your first run

1. ROMS tab, ADD FILES, pick your dump. A zip is fine; it is unpacked on the phone.
2. RUN tab, pick the game, pick a ruleset (Kaizo, Standard, Survival, Ultimate), NEW RUN. The randomizer runs on the phone with the official settings file for that game.
3. PLAY. The tracker sits under the game in portrait and beside it in landscape.

PREP is only for Nat. Dex on Emerald or FireRed v1.1.

What is in this build

• Nineteen games on one app: Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black 2, White 2 (USA dumps; Ruby, Sapphire and LeafGreen v1.0). Each is verified by checksum.
• Official IronMON rulesets as presets, randomized on the phone; Gen 1's two-pass randomization done for you. The randomizer's log is kept per run.
• The IronMON tracker cloned from the PC trackers, Gen 1 to Gen 5: stats with the nature's + and -, moves seen, stat marks, notes, heals, badges, routes, the startup favorites (three, four or five as that game's tracker keeps them, per game).
• Game over as the PC tracker's popup: Continue playing, Retry the battle, Save this attempt, Inspect the log full screen, New game (new seed).
• DS: both screens, touch on the bottom screen in either orientation, X and Y on the pad, a SuperNDS-style landscape layout; GBA gets a My Boy-style layout.
• Eight save slots with screenshots, auto-save, rewind, slow motion, cheats (off on tracked runs), controllers, layouts, skins.
• Stream server: the game, the tracker and both DS screens as OBS browser sources, plus a clean view.
• RetroAchievements (softcore by default, hardcore locks the helpers), cloud sync through the file picker, backups that never contain a ROM.
• INFO tab: REPORT A BUG, EMAIL BLAKE sends the device, versions, last crash and log tail to blake@willowcreek.group.

Known issues

• Black has no tested dump yet; it is supported on paper only.
• Ruby, Sapphire and LeafGreen v1.1 and v1.2 cartridges are refused; only v1.0 has its tables.
• The ROMS tab can show an empty list on the first render after launch until you leave and re-enter it.
• A DS game wants a phone with at least 3 GB of RAM.
• DSi mode, the two-phone Game Boy link, rumble and tilt are built but not yet verified on hardware.
• RetroAchievements hardcore validation with the RA team is pending; until then the server may count unlocks as softcore.
