The developer's own thread establishes the project name, 1158 as its developer, the clean Emerald base and the UPS patch route with Tsukuyomi or NUPS, version 2.97 as current, his statement that he is not planning to expand the hack, the three regions of Sylon, Tyron and Johto, the optional Exp. All and its in-game purchase from version 2.82, the retained HMs, the presence of some Generation 6 Pokémon with Amaura excluded, the Florges movepool fix, and above all the save-breaking change at version 2.80 with version 2.79 kept as the alternative. Mega Evolution and the ROM rejection reports are retained as unconfirmed because they come from other posters in the same thread.
