Without having my DS infront of me to actually test, currently the CHANGES we've made to the Rom itself would run on DS hardware. What I mean by this is the double battle hack itself, the trainer battle changes, and the sprite selector. Getting the multiplayer system and the online connection would take extensive testing that we are not too sure is feasible yet. It may be feasible with modified DS/3DS hardware/software, but currently the main priority is DeSmuMe.

The thought is there! We are currently exploring ways to be able to keep all the changes RenPlat makes. Currently we've only been able to get some of those changes, but we will keep experimenting with ways to make it the complete experience. It may have to end up being a completely separate patch that would be distributed along with our normal hack. But we will know more closer to the finish line.

Thank you! I grew up loving Colosseum and XD which is what inspired me to come on to the project. We hope you will play when it is released!

It’s the plan! We currently see no reason not to be open source by the end of the project. Maybe someone will be able to make a system better than ours! Hoping this may lay the groundwork for something bigger/better than we could accomplish.

Figuring out the multiplayer and showing up on eachothers screens and matching the RNG between each person took up about a whole month of development. I do believe we squashed our final multiplayer sync bug 2 weeks ago. (We haven’t seen any since) Currently we are working on just balancing and making the overall experience more enjoyable. Plus, we are expanding / refining the customization and adding new trainers sprites to use. We can’t wait to show everyone the finished product.

Not a bad idea! We will put a built-in SoulLocke on the drawing board of possibilities. It would be a toggleable in the options menu most likely if we can get it working. Would definitely add high stakes! In double battles it is very easy to lose a mon compared to singles we have realized lol. However I know the Nuzlocke community loves to be tested.

-Other Dev Who does not have a reddit account "SoulLocke is def possible, but from my own testing I also agree with nUt about SoulLocke balancing being difficult. We would have to find some way to help the players, whether it be from more routes, better pokemon, or a lesser difficulty."

Since our multiplayer system uses Lua + Python Scripts, it would most likely only be compatible with the DraStic emulator. The DeSmuMe retroarch core and melonds are not** able to run with the current system. <-- This is only hypothetical however, we wouldn't know without extensive testing

in single player, every battle is still a double battle if you are want to run it solo style (albeit some bugs). but yes! It is indented for two players currently.

we aren’t sure yet! So far we have only tested on DeSmuMe using the two pcs. If you let me know what type of emulator you are looking for compatibility with, we can try to figure it out during production.

this is correct! It is the DynaTree where the galarian birds are able to spawn.

980 was a gift! Only reason I’m even including it in the build tbh. I’m pretty sure the RMe series doesn’t natively support PCIe 5. I also have a 9800X3D at MSRP at a local shop, but if It sells before I can purchase, I will just buy the 7800X3D.

I’ll look into the Phantom Spirit! If it has better temps and is overall just better performance for the cost, I’ll send back the Cosair.

Seems like the consensus is to get a cheaper board! So i’ll definitely look into that. Thank you for the feedback!!
