Hey all! I've been building PokeDaisy, a GBA player for the Thor made for Gen 3 Pokemon and ROM hacks. The game runs on the top screen. The bottom screen is a live companion that reads your game's memory as you play, so it always shows your real party, bag and battle, drawn in the game's own menu style.

Features

• Party: HP, levels, status. Tap a mon for stats, moves and its weaknesses
• Battle: opens on its own. Shows move effectiveness, the foe's weaknesses, the best mon and move for the fight, and the trainer's remaining team. Also has touch buttons to fight, switch or run
• Map: the region map with you on it. Tap any place to see its name
• Dex: seen/caught, with full entries
• Guide: spoiler-free (hints first, answers on a second tap). What's catchable here, the next gym leader's team, evolutions, "where is" and "stuck?"
• Bag, Trainer Card, and 10 save-state slots with screenshots
• Customizable tabs: pick which ones show up in the tab bar
• Smart fast-forward: drops to 1x in menus and keeps battles fast
• Fast-forward music without the chipmunk sound (alpha)
• Save states with undo, full button remapping, themes, and an optional status bar
• Saves are normal .sav/.srm files, so you can share them with RetroArch
• Library with SteamGridDB cover art

Supported games: FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire, plus hacks: Unbound, Radical Red, Gaia, Odyssey, Heart and Soul, Amethyst, Lazarus, Seaglass, Too Many Types 2, Emerald Rogue and more. Any GBA game plays, but the companion needs one of these.

Still a work in progress. Not every hack supports every feature yet. Some have no battle tab or guide, and some maps show place names only. The README has a table of what works in each game.

It's free and open source, with no ads, accounts or tracking and it updates itself. Built with AI assistance (code is fully reviewed and tested). Bring your own ROMs. Made for the Thor. It should also work on the Retroid Pocket Duo, but I haven't tested that.

Feedback, bug reports and game requests are very welcome!

Edit: Changed the app name and links to the correct spelling

Edit 2: Added note regarding AI assistance in code development per subreddit rules

Edit 3: PokeDaisy v1.1.0 is out, with RetroAchievements (beta), IVs/EVs, 6 languages, SoulGold support and more. The app was renamed, so read the release post before updating.
