[GEN 3][DECOMP] Built a playable Rom using Emerald Expansion. Yay. What to expect?

I just built a Rom using the instructions on the Github and I looked through a couple tutorials as well. Pretty excited to see what I can conjure up with this.

So far, it seems like Vanilla Emerald when I'm playing this but maybe that's to be expected?

I'm trying to figure some things out as I go along. I found that I had to turn following Pokemon on for example and I had to do some digging in order to find that answer. So, I think this question will probably help a lot of people going into this.

I do have a little bit of a goal in mind. I was excited to see FRLG in one of the recent update for this decomp. So, I was wanting to mess around with that and to see what is involved in getting to see that in an actual game.

So, my question is: What else do I have to enable in this decomp?

I'm thinking everything but I have yet to find an actual answer, on everything but following Pokemon.

Tl;dr

What features are already enabled with a built Rom for this decomp? What other features are off by default (I know that following Pokemon are off by default)?

[Update: I solved it by using this command:]

sudo pacman -Sy

So the entire first command would look like this: "sudo pacman -Sy base-devel arm-none-eabi-binutils arm-none-eabi-newlib git libpng"
