Pokémon Emerald

This project is a fork of pret/pokeemerald.

Usage

Run ./build.sh to build the game. It will create a Docker image of Debian along with all the necessary dependencies. It will also install agbcc in the created image. It will then create a container from that image and mount the pokeemerald folder so that the build can be run inside the container.
