Hah. The next step should be "can DOOM run it" (and answer is: theoretically.....)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you’re enjoying!
About the two checkboxes: since this port is based on Katawa Shoujo Re:Engineered, it includes both options
- "Disable adult content" — turns off all adult content.
- "Skip hurtful adult scenes" — is part of the Mental Health settings added in KS:RE by users' request, since Act 4 in Hanako’s route contains a particularly heavy scene.
That’s why there are two checkboxes here instead of just one in the original release.
Additionally, right now Act 1 is going through a “polishing” phase — dynamic scenes are being recreated (like the fireworks scene or "Kenji’s route" ending), features such as the Novel Box and Double Speak are being added, along with lots of smaller details to bring the experience as close as possible to the original PC version.
Hi! Thx for your interest!
There are a lot of hardware tricks involved in making the GBA port possible, so pretty much anything could happen. :)
Just to clarify: GBA Runner2 is a hypervisor, not real hardware. It translates GBA instructions on the fly to run on the DSi. Things like DMA-driven audio streaming, precise timer usage, and VRAM updates don’t map perfectly through GBAR2, so the game won’t launch or may behave incorrectly.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a DSi to test on, and running GBAR2 through DSi emulation is not a reliable option.
If you’d like to try the builds, you can run them on most desktop and mobile emulators. Real hardware (like an original GBA, GBA SP, or even DS/DS Lite with a flashcart) will always give the most accurate results.
