Lumiose Online for ZA Recomp: a fork of Hexveil404’s native port, which recompiles the Switch’s ARM64 code ahead of time and reimplements the console’s operating system and GPU on top of Vulkan, that adds the Lumiose Online multiplayer mod. The mod’s binary sits in the repo and is translated to native code along with the game’s. Online play goes through a fixed relay server, not peer to peer, and brings text chat with keyboard or controller, voice chat with a microphone and noise suppression, a players menu, and native typing in the chat, the Market search, and Mail. It also adds camera distance from 50% to 200%, a touch mode on left Alt, and its own self-updating launcher. The author notes that voice quality and live multiplayer still need more testing. Linux x86-64 is experimental, aimed at the Steam Deck. v0.1.27 (November 8) is the latest of 12 releases. The README doesn’t say who made the mod. 35 of its 36 own commits are authored by Codex, from OpenAI.

You needYour own copy of Pokémon Legends: Z-A with update 2.0.2 and the DLC, which Lumiose Online requires: the already extracted exefs and romfs folders, or a dump (.xci or .nsp) with the prod.keys from your own Switch, plus its title.keys if asked for the DLC. Plus 64-bit Windows 10 (1903 or newer) or 11, or x86-64 Linux as an experiment, an x86-64 CPU with AVX2 (SSE4.2 works too, but slower), a Vulkan 1.2 or newer GPU, 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended), and about 12 GB free.
