3DS Support
With the basic logic in place it was possible to extend the program to support the 3DS as well as the DS-Lite, this would enable support for more games beyond those on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS.
Implementing configurations Previously, Shaoooh had only supported video capture via a capture card using Video4Linux and control via the Raspberry Pi Pico controller wired to the DS-Lite. In order to support different setups, configurations were added which could control how the video capture and control were performed, keeping the same logic for performing shiny hunts.

State Machines
The first version of the bot had some limitations which required a lot of boilerplate to be written for each new shiny hunt to be implemented. Initially, a shiny hunt was defined as a struct that implemented the HuntFSM trait. Each new target had to implement all logic for getting an encounter and how to detect if the encountered Pokémon was shiny or not.
This could have been improved by moving some of the logic to common functions, e.
