In the past few hours, an anonymous user on 4chan posted screenshots of a presumed beta version of Pokemon Gold. Said leak displayed screenshots of unused Pokemon, and a beta titlescreen.

At approximately 3am EST, said leaker releases the ROM into the wild, and a team reveals that they were working on translating and bug fixing the aforementioned ROM. Coinciding with the leak, user Sanqui on Twitter releases a WIP spreadsheet containing all the data researched and documented by the team thus far:

Get on my level.

How did you get the Spaceworld Demo border? Even I load it in John GBC Lite on Android I get the normal G/S border

It looks like a custom emulator border based on the fact it fills the 16:9 screen, but you can get the border (and color) with Super GameBoy emulation

I would post a picture of my nokia 6630 running it... If I could find it.

Is this slowly turning into a "Can it run Doom" kind of challenge?

Anyone with a flash cart and a japanese copy of stadium 2 wanna see if it will play in the GB tower?
I got as far as Stadium detecting it in PJ64 but GB tower doesn't work on emulator.

A lot of scripts are missing and because it's a demo theres not much you can explore before it resets. Using debug you can access more of the region which seems to be mostly done, just a few maps missing. A lot of Pokemon aren't fully coded and have placeholder stats.

Theres enough that someone could add scripts, create missing maps, polish things off and release it as a fully playable game.

The emulators I mentioned have SGB support. Odd

Not all emulators with SGB support include borders I think. In VBA-M, SGB mode and borders are separate options.

What I mean is John GBC lite does have SGB with borders support. It shows the normal Gen 2 border, not the Spaceworld demo one.

I'll have to try it with an emulator on my laptop tomorrow. Maybe it's a limitation of the android emulator

I've read from TCRF that the border changes depending if you're playing in debug mode or not.
If debug is activated it will show you the regular G/S border, if you're playing the demo then it'll show the Spaceworld one.

That would explain it. Thank you for the info

That's nothing. I want to see it running in old school no$GMB on a 386 desktop. Really wish I had my old ThinkPad

Woah, that's old! Specs?

By the way I should have an old WonderMedia WM8650 laptop, running who-knows-what "el cheapo" ARM SoC and Windows CE. If it boots, I'll try running the proto there just for shits and giggles

Toshiba Satellite 2100CDS.
K6-2 400mhz, 32mb ram, 10gb hdd, 24x cdrom and floppy disk at the same time and a single usb 1.1 port. The screen is 12.1'' and 800x600 but isn't an active matrix so it has as much ghosting (if not more) as a brick gameboy. Surpricingly the battery still works and last like a full hour, but it doesn't keep the charge for too many days if you charge it and leave it there.

I also have a IBM Thinkpad 365XD, but I don't have the power cord, so I can't use it.
