An official package confirms that the project publishes a file for that target. It does not guarantee support for every operating-system version, graphics driver, controller or optional mod.

Base Gen1Recomp Requirements

  • the correct build for the device;
  • a compatible user-supplied Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow ROM;
  • storage for the application, generated game data, saves and optional mods;
  • graphics and system support required by LÖVE2D and the selected package.

The project does not currently publish a universal minimum CPU, GPU or RAM specification.

Additional VoxelMod Requirements

The 3D mod needs a compatible Gen1Recomp version, shader support, depth-canvas support and enough graphics performance for the selected draw distance and effects. A device may run base Gen1Recomp while struggling with the optional 3D rendering.

If performance is slow, begin with a shorter draw distance and fewer visual effects. The 3D setup guide provides suitable first-launch settings.

Handheld and Mobile Limits

The named RG34XXSP package should not be generalized to other Anbernic devices or firmware. Steam Deck and other Linux handhelds may be able to use a Linux build, but formal support is not documented. Android results can vary widely by device and GPU.

Use the official downloads for the published packages and Known Issues for current platform reports.
