* **Perspective tilt mode** for an HD-2D-style overworld
* **Multiple color modes**, including original, SGB, advanced GBC, monochrome, and classic green
* **Optional GBC screen effects**, including pixel grids, shadows, glare, and transparency
* **Performance presets** and configurable FPS limits
* **Peer-to-peer link play** for trades and battles between Red, Blue, and Yellow
* **Persistent custom options** stored separately from game saves
* **Optional widescreen battle layout**
* **Mobile touch controls** with editable layouts, vibration, and orientation settings
* **Translation and custom font support**

* **Pokédex diploma and printer image exports**
* **Community mod browser**
* **Soft reset button combination**
* **Keyboard and controller rebinding**
* **Mod profiles** with separate mod settings and save slots

* **Direct-launch options** for shortcuts, Steam entries, and handheld frontends
* **Custom boot branding**

* **Border-block surrounds** for maps smaller than the screen
* **Gold-specific launcher options**
