MASSIVE G1R Deluxe Updates (gen1recomp)

Tech/Product Update: MASSIVE G1R Deluxe (gen1recomp)

• Game lineup expanded: The launcher/app now supports a full set of games from Generations 1, 2, and 3 (Gen 3 is still in beta), and all games can be completed fully.
• Stability goal: “Everything works practically as it should,” with only minor tweaks remaining. The remaining work focuses on fixing current errors, with fewer needs to add entirely new games going forward.

New Launcher Features & Improvements

1) ID Synchronization (save ownership correctness across devices/games)

Introduces ID synchronization for traded Pokémon and multi-device/multi-save setups.

Concept

• Each game has its own save.
• Players may trade Pokémon between saves/devices, but ownership metadata (e.g., Trainer ID / OTID) must match so Pokémon recognize the owner.

What it does

• Adds “Sync ID” to update saves so Pokémon in each game are correctly marked as belonging to you.
• Uses the ability to legally view saves and update IDs—even if you used clean, unmodded saves.
• Ensures Pokémon remain yours and obey commands correctly regardless of level/badges/status, even after self-trades.

2) “Box” System (cross-generation storage inside the launcher)

Adds a box-style storage system inspired by Pokémon Box for Ruby/Sapphire (GameCube).

How it works

• Store Pokémon from supported generations into launcher boxes.
• Integrates with save sync:
  • If the box is kept open on another device, it stays available there.
  • You can move Pokémon from the box into any save and continue playing.
  • Box operations also synchronize updated trainer IDs to keep ownership consistent.

3) Save Sync (server-based multi-device save coordination)

Reiterated and emphasized: saves can be coordinated across devices using a server the user sets up.

Key behaviors

• When you open an app/game and return to the launcher, it updates saves.
• If multiple saves are in play, the launcher can warn and ask which save to keep.
• Includes backup copies of saves.
  • Users can manually restore by replacing files from device data folders.
  • Mentions a future “restore backup” UI.

4) Gen 3 Multiplayer/Union Room Continuity

• Online play / Union Room features will continue to be implemented and improved for all of Gen 3.
• Mentions the in-game Pokémon Center (nurse/second floor) conceptually for battling/trading.
• Trading/fighting in the launcher exists but may change over time (potentially moving back into the game itself).

5) Importers for Mod Assets (resource reuse across games)

Allows mods to reuse assets from other games.

Currently supported importers

• Link to the Past
• Mystery Dungeon

Contribution/extension options

• Submit a PR to the main repository, or
• Create importers as mods (they will appear in the importer section).

Why it moved to Settings

• Moved into settings due to beginner confusion, with plans to add clearer explanations.

6) Automatic ROM Re-import After Major Changes

After updating the launcher:

• If ROM-import requirements change, the launcher will automatically re-import ROM files on restart.
• Goal: reduce the need to manually re-search/re-import ROMs after updates.

Support & Contribution Workflow

• Bugs/issues: Encourage reporting on GitHub (not only Discord), including creating a ticket for real problems.
• Discord: Still promoted for smaller help, ongoing mod work, and awareness of upcoming mods/community updates.

Release/Update Guidance

• Update the app to receive new features.
• If launcher behavior becomes very strange (e.g., launcher shell changes), a full reinstall may be necessary.
• If you’re behind, you can manually download the latest build from GitHub.

Additional Promotion (Non-Launcher)

• Request to add Boya Quoya to the Steam wishlist, noting eventual release and possible giveaways/codes.
