Show HN: Pokemon Emerald Emulator

4 points by Schampu ↗ HN
Hi there, this is a toy project I worked on for the past months. It's an early stage pokemon emerald emulator. Maps, tiles, animations, warps, sprites etc. are extracted from the provided ROM file.

There is a online demo [0].

After dragging a ROM file into the browser window, you can walk and explore the complete pokemon emerald world.

The game engine is created only for testing purposes, you will encounter a zillion bugs.

If you don't have a ROM file on hand (Attention, large GIFs):

And where is the game itself?
he can't distribute the ROM (the game data) legally. But you can run his app and provide the ROM yourself...
Nice ! I like the zoom effect
