After the player picks a starter and the rival takes his, every ball on
the lab table fell through to 'Those are POKé BALLs' instead of the
leftover-mon line. Port the pokered OaksLabSelectedPokeBallScript ->
OaksLabLastMonScript beat: with EVENT_GOT_STARTER set, Oak turns to face
the player and reads 'That's PROF.OAK's last Pokémon!'. The ROM's
'#MON' ligature is spelled out as Pokémon.
The renumbering also drops the table's nine out-of-range 'jump 21'
rows (run-time 'end' idioms) for explicit "end" targets, so the
script now validates cleanly.
Tests: T2 suite drives the ball talk table through a ScriptRunner-
compatible executor (leftover text, pre-escort text, pre-pick offer)
plus a T3 driver that talks to the leftover ball in a real game.
A manifest whose name, version, description, or category carries invalid
UTF-8 (a BOM, Latin-1 bytes) crashed the launcher's MODS panel, since
love.graphics.printf raises on invalid UTF-8. Manifest.validate now drops
invalid bytes and a leading BOM from those strings, in place so the
badge's raw.category read agrees.
CLOSES#576
The launcher skipped oaks_pc.asm's whole session -- the access text and
the 'Want to get your #DEX rated?' YES/NO -- and played the Pokedex_Rating
jingle the moment the entry was picked, before any text printed. Now the
access text types out, the YES/NO pops, and only once the completion line
and the rating tier have printed does the jingle sound (DisplayDexRating
-> PlayPokedexRatingSfx, auto.wait hands the box to the A/B path), then
the 'Closed link to PROF.OAK's PC.' tail closes the session.
Yellow's IsSurfingPikachuInParty swaps the player's overworld sheet to
a Pikachu-on-a-surfboard when the party mon that knows SURF is a
Pikachu. The recomp was missing both halves of this: the sheet was
never extracted, and the engine had no seam for the swap.
Extraction: SurfingPikachuSprite (gfx/sprites/surfing_pikachu.2bpp)
loads outside SpriteSheetPointerTable via
LoadSurfingPlayerSpriteGraphics2, the same bypass RedBikeSprite uses.
Added the symbol to the Yellow manifest and a parallel extract in
RomExtractor / build_rom_data / extract/sprites, minting
SPRITE_SURFING_PIKACHU. PaletteFX colors it (player OBP palette, same
as the bike).
Engine: new field.playerSprites.surfPikachu (default
SPRITE_SURFING_PIKACHU, guarded so before extraction the ride keeps
the Seel). Player.new caches surfPikachuSprite; pose() picks it when
surfing and the SURF-mon is a Pikachu. New
OverworldState:syncSurfingPikachu derives the flag from partyKnows at
every surf-state toggle (mount, dismount, fly, teleport, blackout,
forced-surf tile, boot-restore). Runtime-only, re-derived at load so a
party change between save and load is honored.
Lane B: RFC at docs/rfcs/0001-surfing-pikachu-sprite.md.
Backward-compatible — existing mods see no change (surf still defaults
to SPRITE_SEEL; surfPikachu only resolves on a Yellow import after
regeneration). Parity tests in tests/parity_surfing_pikachu_sprite.lua
(12/12) and tests/mod_world_tests.lua (19229/19229 with the new
boot-seed checks). tests/parity_cinnabar_east_surf.lua (24/24)
unchanged.
Regeneration required: re-run make_yellow_manifest.py against a
pret/pokeyellow checkout, then re-import the Yellow ROM.
The battle intro slide ran at 4px/frame over 40 frames -- twice the
original speed -- and drew the pics in their normal palette instead of
as black silhouettes.
SlidePlayerAndEnemySilhouettesOnScreen scrolls SCX from $90 to 0 at
2px/frame (~72 frames) under the %11100100 silhouette palette, only
running SET_PAL_BATTLE once the pics land. Match that: introSlide starts
at 80 with a 2px/frame offset (80 frames over the full 160px width), and
picImage bakes both pics through PAL_BLACK while introSlide > 0, exactly
like the evolution movie (#279).
parity_battle_intro_chrome waited a hardcoded 45 frames for the slide to
land; bumped to 85 to cover the slower slide.
Expose a generic seam so a mod can drive a second screen without the
engine owning any dual-screen layout policy:
- render.compose hook in Renderer:endFrame hands a mod the finished
world + UI canvases, their SGB zones, the frame metrics,
Renderer:blitCanvas (lifted from the internal blit closure) and the
SecondScreen bridge. Return true to take over the window; no wrap (or
calling next) runs the normal single-window composite byte-for-byte.
- SecondScreen.lua + the Android Presentation bridge (love_android_
secondary_* in common/android.cpp, GameActivity secondary display)
as the optional physical-second-display transport.
No battle-render changes: a mod lays out the two screens (including any
battle split) itself. Ships with a unit test, no-mod parity via
gate_hooks, and docs/modding.md (D14).
Layout interactive UI against love.window.getSafeArea so notch, Dynamic Island, and home-indicator insets no longer clip controls, while keeping the game framebuffer edge-to-edge.

Pressing Import ROM on iOS takes the whole app down:
src/import/RomImporter.lua: attempt to call field 'pickFile' (a nil value)
love.system.pickFile is a NATIVE BRIDGE, not part of LOVE. It exists only on
builds that compiled one -- Android, and iOS builds patched by
mobile/ios/patch_love_src.py -- so on a build without it the field is simply
nil. RomImporter:546 routes iOS down the same path as Android
(`mobileOS == "Android" or mobileOS == "iOS"`), and all three mobile pick
sites called the field unguarded.
That is why the reports say "any version": nothing about it is version
specific. Red, Blue and Yellow all reach the same call.
Every one of those call sites already handles a device with no document
picker -- Choose falls back to "No picker available, copy your ROM into:"
plus the save directory, and the mod / save rows have their own notices --
and love.system.createFile at its single call site was already guarded this
way. These three were not, so the fallback that was written for exactly this
case could never be reached.
Route them through one small helper that answers false when the bridge is
absent. A build without a picker now degrades to the copy-into-the-save-folder
flow, which on iOS is a working path: the Files app exposes the app's
Documents folder and GRBootstrap sweeps what lands there into the save dir.
tests/rom_importer_no_picker_test.lua covers Import ROM, Import mod and
Import save with the bridge missing, and asserts the picker is still used
when it is present. Reverting the fix reproduces the reported error exactly.
Reported in #482 (confirmed by three people) and #512.
