Gen1Recomp remains active and can release updates quickly. The original VoxelMod project is no longer available; its last known version is retained as a historical record.

How the Gen1Recomp Name Has Expanded

Gen1Recomp, Gen1Recomp++ and Gen1Recomp Deluxe mark the additions of Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal and FireRed/LeafGreen/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. They are not separate apps or separate editions to download. Each name simply shows how the same Gen1Recomp app has grown.

Latest Release Notes

The newest releases are listed first.

Release	Published change
v0.3.96	Current release. Expands Gen 2 mod support for phone contacts, shops and custom-content indices; restores mod options; fixes Crystal's card game and FireRed/LeafGreen cries; and makes Emerald available from the Switch launcher.
v0.3.95	Raises the Gen 3 custom Pokemon, move and item index limit from 1,023 to 65,535, giving large content mods more room while preserving cartridge-export safeguards.
v0.3.94	Gives Pokemon sprite mods consistent shiny information across the supported generations, including Gen 3 battles, summaries, evolution and hatching.
v0.3.93	Introduces Portable Mod API 3 for one mod codebase across Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3, with shared content records, capability checks and portable world, battle and script services. Existing API 1 and API 2 mods keep their previous behavior.

For every smaller fix and release, see the official Gen1Recomp releases page (opens in a new tab). This page focuses on the updates that changed what Gen1Recomp can do.

Gen1Recomp Deluxe 0.3.96 is available for Windows, macOS, Linux x86_64, Linux ARM64, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox UWP, Anbernic RG34XXSP, ARM Linux SBC / PortMaster and other systems through the cross-platform LÖVE download.

Supported Generations and Custom Carts

Gen1Recomp accepts eleven games side by side. The Gen 2 engine for Gold, Silver and Crystal remains under construction. FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are beta Gen 3 implementations. FireRed and LeafGreen accept canonical US revisions 1.0 and 1.1; Ruby and Sapphire accept 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2; Emerald accepts 1.0.

Custom carts are named, version-pinned mod sets with their own appearance, save slots and export file. The launcher can browse carts through the community index and install a cart's pinned required mods only when their recorded hashes match.

Online Play and Current Launcher Tools

The Online launcher tab added in v0.2.33 can host or join battles, show live matches to spectators, run tournaments and trade Pokemon between save files. Version 0.3.61 expands the 40-player Union Room to every supported game and adds cross-generation battles and trades with conversion previews and recovery safeguards. FireRed and LeafGreen retain Direct Corner play, wireless minigames, private PIN rooms and invitations. Gen 3 rooms show player names and activity, translation-only mods remain online, and Ruby and Sapphire receive relay Mystery Events and Wonder News. Custom-cart rooms require the same sealed cart on both sides. The in-game Link menu remains the separate LAN option, and fast-forward stays at 1× during link and online play.

Version 0.2.37 added Update all for indexed mods, game and generation filters, touch-screen SAVE/LOAD/SPEED/COLOR/TILT/ZOOM keys, controller speed controls, and save-editor actions for sorting/filling items and editing coins. Version 0.3.19 extended the save editor to Gen 3 Pokemon, including EV, IV, nature, ability and ribbon editing. Versions 0.3.43–0.3.50 further improved save import/export and the save editor, including custom-map recognition. Versions 0.3.54–0.3.59 add ID Sync, save-slot duplication, full controller rebinding and the cross-game Box for Pokemon and items; Gen 1/2 Pokemon can be previewed and migrated into Gen 3 while their original data remains recoverable. Version 0.3.76 adds Pokeblock editing, Mirage Island controls and one-click Box sorting. Direct-game shortcuts can sync first, skip sync with --no-sync, or check for an update with --update.

Version 0.2.41 extends direct launch to installed custom carts with --cart. Android and iOS can receive the same game, cart, slot, launcher, sync and update settings through a gen1recomp++://launch URL, and iOS can create Home Screen entries for imported games and custom carts. The current Update all action includes indexed installed carts before it updates mods.

VoxelMod 1.8.2 is the last known original release. The original repository and maintainer channels are unavailable, so it should be treated as archived and unsupported. Its preserved downloads and maintained alternatives are listed on the dedicated VoxelMod page below.

Third-person mode, persistent battle-camera control, touch/controller/keyboard zoom, first-person mode, PC VR support and the earlier graphics fixes remain included.

Version Compatibility

The archived VoxelMod manifest declared Gen1Recomp compatibility with development builds and releases from 0.1.37 up to, but not including, 2.0.0. That old range does not guarantee compatibility with Gen1Recomp 0.3.96, every device or every other mod.

VoxelMod 1.8.2 lists ds_fp_ceiling as a conflict in its manifest. Other combinations can still cause problems, so test additional mods one at a time.
