Original game imageAbout
suiCune is an in-development PC port of Pokemon Crystal. The game's code is rewritten in C99 and uses SDL2 to emulate the Game Boy Color's graphics and sound. It currently runs but may be prone to crashes and buggy behavior, and is not recommended for use in other projects until completed.
How it differs from the original
It restores the networking features of the original Japanese release, which relied on the Mobile Adapter GB; the adapter is emulated using libmobile and the game uses custom servers. Optional build flags enable bugfixes, the PCG random number generator instead of Crystal's default one, and an experimental time capsule.
Getting started
Saves from the original English version can be copied into the folder and renamed baserom.sav, though the time of day may be wrong and some map changes can leave you stuck in a wall in Goldenrod.
History
The project started from a modified version of pokecrystal.
Features
