Starting the game

Each time you run VBA, you'll need to load the included rom. You can do this from the open dialog, or load a recent rom after you've opened it once.

Once the rom is loaded, load the lua script (tools, lua, New Lua script window). From there, load pokemon.lua, press run. It should say ready, alt tab out and back in again

Keys

Make sure num lock is off while playing the game, or the keys won't work.

j, k and l - previous, current and next item

shift m - read current map name

shift n - rename current map

n - rename current item

t - read text on screen, if any

p - pathfind. This tries to find a path between you and the object selected, or as close as it can get.

c - read coordinates

h - read enemy health if in a battle
