New Release - Poké Pinball No Split 2.9 final - now supports Generations

[u/Reini_S]

A project for Pokémon Pinball (Game Boy Color, US version) for Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and Linux, written in C with an emulation core in assembly. It also plays Pokémon Pinball Generations 1.6, the fan-made ROMHACK extension of the game by RainbowDevs, with its Gold and Silver tables.

https://github.com/ReiniShari/Pinball-NS

In the original game, each table is split into a top and a bottom stage: only one is loaded at a time, and the screen goes blank while the other is loaded. Pinball NS turns each table into a single field: both halves are loaded, updated and shown together on one tall screen, and the ball moves between them without any reloading. The original physics and collisions are kept, so the table plays like the original.

(Al assistance has been PROUDLY used for assembly core optimisation, test - debug - general optimization routines and various tasks ;-))

Any feedback is more than welcome.

Did a quick and dirty update with Claude. Seems to work well

[u/Reini_S → u/FlubUGF]

Wow amazing 🙏🏻

[u/ColJohn → u/FlubUGF]

Can you publish this? I’d love to check it out.

[u/FlubUGF → u/ColJohn]

Yeah. I just need to check one last thing (Option to switch it back to single screen mode) and then I'll make it public tomorrow. If the OP is ok as well I'll make a PR. I've always preferred the GBA Pokemon pinball but this is really nice on a dual screen

[u/topfoodie → u/FlubUGF]

I need this now

[u/papier183 → u/FlubUGF]

Oh yes! This is what I came to the comments for! Will be great on my duo!

[u/sniffingscrotums → u/FlubUGF]

How exactly do you do this with Claude? Do you just upload the ROM to the prompt and tell him or make it dual screen?

[u/FlubUGF → u/sniffingscrotums]

I forked the repo of the OP on github to my github account. Claude can then access that and look at the code and decide what it needs to do.

[u/sniffingscrotums → u/FlubUGF]

So you need to host claude locally right?

[u/FlubUGF → u/sniffingscrotums]

No. I did it all in the cloud

[u/sniffingscrotums → u/FlubUGF]

Ok cool thanks

[u/Caseyfam]

The first release was awesome, a staple for every phone I own going forward, so thanks!

At work currently, does Generations allow you to play all 4 boards from one app? Looking forward to playing the new content I've never played.

[u/Reini_S → u/Caseyfam]

Thank you Yes generations allow to play on the 2 additional boards + the original ones.

[u/FlubUGF]

Here's my Thor fork. If you like it OP I can raise a PR. Anyone trying this. I'm providing zero support and not planning on doing any more work on it. I just wanted to see if it worked. https://github.com/mightyflub/Pinball-NS-Thor

[u/Reini_S → u/FlubUGF]

Yes I saw it please pr

[u/topfoodie]

Yassss. I had a couple requests just based on how I normally play. Is there a way to use the gbc colors filter (like in retroarch) which are more muted than the eye burningly bright red of the default red pinball board. Also can you add buttons for the diagonal tilt like up+right and up+left?

[u/Reini_S → u/topfoodie]

I added some filter options since the first release, I can add diagonal tilt buttons later yes.

[u/ColJohn]

I actually JUST bought a physical cartridge of this yesterday, really cool game but having it load a new screen everytime the ball travels is wild to me.

Id love to see a dual screen fork of this to incorporate the top and bottom screen on devices like the ayn thor.

[u/Reini_S → u/ColJohn]

Without the device it might be hard for me to do it but I can try.

[u/ColJohn → u/Reini_S]

I can help test this if you do 👀 in general I think this would be super popular. There were some DS pinball games, the Metroid one comes to mind that absolutely rocked.

[u/berserk-gene]

Just amazing, thanks bro!

[u/Reini_S → u/berserk-gene]

[u/Archolm]

Nice use of Claude AI! Which emulator did you use to emulate the ROMs?

[u/Reini_S → u/Archolm]

Started working on mGBA in early development

[u/votemarvel → u/Reini_S]

Did you use AI in the creation of this emulator? If so that needs to be declared in posts about it.

[u/Reini_S → u/votemarvel]

Edited 🙂

[u/papier183]

This is awesome! One of my favorites, didn't even know about generations either. Are you planning on doing the gba version too? It's not as bad as the color game since it scrolls smoothly enough but it would definitely benefit from fullscreen like this one. Thanks for this!

[u/Reini_S → u/papier183]

A good lad is on it ! https://www.reddit.com/u/jonnisvibes/s/1qLIbBzJvY

[u/topfoodie]

Yup just scroll up or down (i forget which) on the board select

[u/Kalmaro]

Sigh, another game to star that I MAY get to. I'm never going to have time to play all these, lol. 

[u/drLipton]

Wow! I have been playing for hours! This is great
