The Main Difference Between Gen1Recomp and VoxelMod
Gen1Recomp is the base application that recreates the game engine and imports data from a compatible Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow ROM. DramaticShapeVoxelMod is an optional rendering mod that runs inside Gen1Recomp and adds the 3D presentation.
Gen1Recomp vs VoxelMod
| Question | Gen1Recomp | DramaticShapeVoxelMod |
|---|---|---|
| Main role | Game engine and runtime | Graphics and presentation mod |
| ROM import | Required | Uses the game already imported by Gen1Recomp |
| Runs by itself | Yes, after import | No |
| Supplies game logic | Yes | No; it depends on the base project |
| Main visual output | Base 2D presentation | Extruded scenery, depth, shadows and 3D battles |
| Installation | Device application | ZIP imported through the mod manager |
How the Two Projects Work Together
VoxelMod requests access to Gen1Recomp's mod system and rendering internals. A working combination therefore depends on three things: a compatible Gen1Recomp version, a compatible VoxelMod version and graphics support on the device.
A version range in the mod manifest does not guarantee the same performance on every phone, computer or handheld. Other enabled mods can also create conflicts.
