In this video, I will show you how to set up Gen1Recomp on Xbox Series X and Series S so you can play Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow natively in Dev Mode! Gen1Recomp is a native LÖVE2D recreation of the original Pokémon games (not a traditional emulator). It rebuilds the game from a user-supplied ROM and supports modern features + mods.
