There are no new Pokémon, maps, moves, or items (except the Heart Stone). This may look like Space World, but its content is purely R/B/Y.

Higher shiny odds

If you want nearly 2% of wild Pokémon to be shiny like in the Space World demo, then follow the instructions in INSTALL.md to build your own ROM—but before running make, edit engine/shiny.asm, replacing this:

IsMonShiny:
	ld h, d
	ld l, e
	ld a, [hli]
	bit 5, a
	jr z, .notShiny
	and a, $f
	cp 10
	jr nz, .notShiny
	ld a, [hl]
	cp (10 << 4) | 10
	jr nz, .notShiny
	and a
	ret

.notShiny
	xor a
	ret

with this:

IsMonShiny:
	ld h, d
	ld l, e
	; attack DV >= 10?
	ld a, [hl]
	and $f0
	cp 10 << 4
	jr c, .notShiny
	; defense DV >= 10?
	ld a, [hli]
	and $f
	cp 10
	jr c, .notShiny
	; speed DV >= 10?
	ld a, [hl]
	and $f0
	cp 10 << 4
	jr c, .notShiny
	; special DV >= 10?
	ld a, [hl]
	and $f
	cp 10
	jr c, .notShiny
	and a
	ret

.notShiny
	xor a
	ret

Now any Pokémon with all four DVs at 10 or above (out of 15) will be shiny.
