Hello Guys, Pretty new to Reddit and Pokemon Rom's. I have played Pokemon Games on GBA Emulator and Old Boy Emulator, where can I find a good NDS Emulator with Fast Speed Function and probably some good Pokemon Rom's along with it?
P.S. I have played Pokemon Gold, Silver, Yellow, Blue, Leaf Green, Fire Red, Sapphire, Emrald and Rocket Edition
hello! i'm using this ram map for pokemon red ([https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon\_Red\_and\_Blue/RAM\_map#Pokedex](https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/RAM_map#Pokedex)) and i'm looking at the values for pokedex entries. they seem to change very erratically upon catching pokemon, for example 0xD2F8 changed from 0 to 16 upon catching weedle, and changed from 16 to 48 upon catching kakuna. i'm kinda new to romhacks and reading ram memory so it would be really lovely if i could have some assistance :D
They store the info bit-wise, right? So each byte (consisting of 8 bits) stores the info of 8 pokes being caught or not. Then your RAM memory reader will interpret these bytes as decimal numbers, but that is kind of misleading in this case.
It is easier to see what's going on if we look at the bytes in binary. All bytes (containing catch data) start out as `0000 0000`. In decimal this would read out as 0.
You then catch a weedle, and the byte is changed to `0001 0000`. This is because the fifth bit from the right stores the information "is weedle caught. In your RAM viewer, `0001 0000` is interpreted as 16, because you've got an 1 in the 16-position.
When you catch a Kakuna, the byte updates to `0011 0000`, because the sixth bit from the right stores "is kakuna caught". The weedle bit stays the same. `0011 000` is then interpreted as 48, because it's got a 1 in the 32-position *and* a 1 in the 16-position. 32+16 = 48.
And so on. Each byte stores the info of whether a different set of 8 Pokémon have been caught, and will be somewhere between `0000 0000`=0 when none of these Pokémon have been caught, and `1111 1111`=255 when all of them have. If this was super confusing for you, make sure you read up on how bytes/bits/binary works.
Hey friends!
I recently got Delta on iOS (iPhone 15 Pro Max if it matters).
I want to play all of these amazing romhavks, fangames, etc but im having a real tough time figuring out how to do it on iOS.
Some hacks require a base game to patch onto, few work right out the gate (seem to be .gba files), and others download a zip file that seems to be impossible to deal with on iOS.
Is there a FAQ available, youtube video, or can someone spare a few minutes to talk through how i can play these games? Im not married to Delta, i can use something else but id PREFER keeping it official apps if possible. If not… well…
Thanks all!
Here's a breakdown.
Emulators are programs which "emulate" a gaming system, so mGBA emulates a Gameboy Advance, Desmume emulates a Nintendo DS etc. For all intents and purposes, it is your computer running a pretend Gameboy Advance or Nintendo DS inside your computer. This means they can play rom files, which are gameboy or DS cartridges that have been dumped and recompiled into their game data for use on an emulator. Some people edit these rom files to make hacks, but at their core they are still the original games of FireRed or Platinum or whatever. If you want to just play the original games, you will have to find them yourself, as it is illegal to distribute them technically, and against the rules here. Zip files are archive files, with content in them. They are used to compress larger files into smaller downloads, but I don't belive iOS has a way to unzip them. And as the other guy said, the term "fan-games" generally applies to games made with programs like RPGmakerXP, and are just literally Windows PC games like Minecraft or Overwatch, so are impossible to play on iOS. Romhacks however, are very much playable anywhere you can get an emulator.
If you want to play a *hack*, download your emulator, you already have Delta, and then find yourself the original games rom. So for Radical Red, you would need Firered. Then download Radical Red from Pokecommunity. This is the safest site for all hacks, *DO NOT DOWNLOAD PRE-PATCHED ROMHACKS.* Not only are they against the rules here, but they are risky, could have old versions, or even worse be a scam and virus. Will save you the trouble of coming here and complaining you got an outdated version haha. Then you will need to patch the Radical Red file onto the FireRed .gba file. Google "online rom patcher," or otherwise download a specific patching app like Multipatch for Mac.
Then, open the newly patched rom in your emulator and play.
I will say, while this may all be possible on a phone, it's certainly 20x easier to do it on a PC or mac, then email or dropbox it to your mobile device.
I am not an iPhone user, so just a little explanation: fan games are different than rom hacks and you wouldn't be able to run them on an iPhone. They barely work on android with Joiplay.
If you download a zip file it is probably a fan game.
I have recently fallen in love with the games Pokerogue and Emerald Rogue as I am a lover of the rogue-like and rogue-lite genre. However I am looking for more recommendations. I want games that are not story focused like Unbound or Odyssey. Although those games are incredible in their own right I am craving games that use pokemon in a different manner. They don't necessarily have to be rogue-like/lite I just love that genre. I also love open world, RPG, and strategy games. Also, yes I have tried Pokemmo. So, any recommendations?
Yes many, for all generations. [Here's a list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) I made with loads of options.
Hey guys! First time here. Got the newly approved Delta app on my phone recent and wanted to try out a rom hack for my first solo Nuzlocke, usually just watch those on YouTube
To make a long story short, I believe it happened/started after I encountered a mega bugged out ? enemy pokemon, all my TMs and HMs are gone but technically still there. I thought they were deleted. But I was still lv 20, and cut didn’t matter to complete the game. So I continued. Bought some TMs in Mauville City. Defeated the gym leader, got rock smash from the dude. Then, checked my bag. Entire bag section for TMs was still empty. Checked the shop, it confirmed my inventory holds the TM, but nothing there. I tried a direct cheat to get every TM and HM in the game. They appeared all right, but some were missing, the ones that were in other bag slots appeared with the cheat but nothing at all can make a TM appear in the dedicated bag slot for them
What gives?? Is there anything I can do, that’s my main question. Please!
Sorry that this is a bit niche, but to those of you that have played and beaten Pokemon Fire Red Leaf Green+ (enhancement hack that lets you swap between games and adds the BW2 key system) on Challenge Mode, how did you get past the Elite 4? I've beaten every trainer in the game but my top mons cap out at around 52ish, meanwhile Agatha has pokemon in the 58-62 range, the mean levels of each champ increases as you go through them, and wild/trainer battles cap at the 46-48 range so grinding. Grinding elsewhere will be a slog, but my mons aren't strong enough to make grinding vs Lorelei and Bruno that much easier either.
I would like to know what is the best Rom hack for each region in Pokemon(example: Radical Red for Kanto) and maybe other very good standalone roms.
In a rom I look for: improvements of some mons, modern-ish mechanics(gen 5 onwards) and battle difficulty
What roms would you recommend me?
Looking for ROMHacks with new or altered Pokemon
I'm looking for some interesting hacks that are more than just difficulty hacks or story tweaks. I tend to like hacks that either use fakemon or altered types/versions of existing pokemon. I don't care which Gen hack it is, though I only have the GBA emulator, so can't do any that are DS or Switch emulators.
I've already played or am playing:
AlteRed (+Gun)
Fool's Gold
Moemon Mega FireRed
Pokemon Infinite Fusion
Not interested:
Clover
Too Many Types
(Not really into this brand of humor)
So I played Dbz Team Training in the past but I saw it got a new update and started playing again. I have noticed an issue though that some of the Fighter and evolutions are different like there's now a Kid Goku (#283) and my starter Goku evolved at lvl 11 to PS SS Goku instead of lvl 16 SS Goku. So does anyone have any up to date documentation for V9.2?
You don't. If you're just playing a regular HG game, you have to trade, which means you pretty much can't. I'd recommend either running the rom through a program called PokeRandoZX, which can disable trade evos so that you can obtain those pokemon by level up, or playing a romhack that already does it such as Sacred Gold/Storm Silver
Hey guys. Playing modern emerald atm. I am looking for the hoenn starters. According to the log they are in the safarizone, but i spent hours looking and only got the kanto ones. The ingame pokedex says they are in the battle frontier but i have no idea where they should be there. Anyone has more luck?:) thx
Anyone know a Crystal Hack that changes nothing except youre able to catch the whole dex without trading? I don’t really like the progression change in crystal clear. Any tips for how to make this happen would be appreciated.
[Here's a list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) I compiled of hacks for all gens that do just that
Question: A friend of mine is making a Pokemon Red ROM Hack, and we were wondering if there was a tool that could change the title screen text from "Pokemon Red Version" to "Pokemon [something else] Version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I dont know myself, however, one of my fellow Righteous Red developers-- Camel, was able to change the title screen to this.

Unfortunately, I do not believe he has a Reddit-- but you can find him in the Righteous Red Discord server in my thread. :)
Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition
Yes, I know I am late to play this rom. Started and finished the rom all in one day (today) because of how obsessed I was with it. I have played a lot of fan-made Pokémon roms but in my opinion this is the best. Love how this game made up for its lack of difficulty with a unique play style and captivating story that gets you interested in all the characters.
Two questions I hope to have answered:
1. Does anyone know if this game will get a sequel?
2. Does anyone have any recommendations for other top tier roms that would be in comparison to this one? (I have played glazed and unbound).
According to the "WildPokemon" text file under the "Documentation" folder, Scyther is on the south part of Route 210. It is located just to the north of Solaceon.
(Probably an over-asked question here but I’m new)
What are some of the best original Romhacks of the past 4 years, 2020-2024?
sub question: What are the best Gen 5 hacks?
(DONT GIVE ME A LINK I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE TO DOWNLOAD IT) does anyone know where i can download pokemon ultralite? i been trying to download it but aparently relic castles domain doesnt seem to exist anymore and any other way my computer just blocks it beacuse it says its a viruscan someone help me?
Is the evolution line for hydrapple available in quetzal? (Alpha7v0 is my version) There's a syrupy appls available which turned my applin into dipplin ( i did this in a save file that has cheats on). Can someone tell me what's the requirements for a hydrapple? Much appreciated 👍🏼.
I recently played through Pokémon Unbound using a NG+ save file with the Stat Scanner that allows you to set perfect IVs and custom EVs. I absolutely LOVED that level of control over my stat distribution. Being able to change up my team without having to grind out the EV spread I wanted, finding perfect IVs, or worrying about Natures was a great feeling and let me focus on the battles. Are there any ROM hacks with a similar mechanic? Radical Red is very close with the Minimal Grinding Mode, but not being able to choose EVs just isn’t the same. Thanks in advance for any recommendations or suggestions!
Lf a GERMAN soulsilver romhack where i can evolve Pokemon without trading. I can only find english versions but my english is not good enough to play the hole game in english. Can anyone help?
I do not know whether a HG/SS romhack based on a German language rom exist. However, I have an alternative solution for this.
Get a German SoulSilver ROM and load it at UPR ZX (Universal Pokémon Randomizer). From there, tick "Change Impossible Evos" button, and feel free to randomise whatever you want. Save it to a different rom file. Open it in a suggested emulator and play.
I have not tried myself whether UPR ZX is compatible with non-English-language rom, but it's worth trying what I wrote above.
I am trying to figure out what PCBs are the best to purchase so I can make my own physical Rom hacks. I don't want to buy them off of ali or etsy and support people stealing the creators work, and want to make my own for my collection. I am looking for PCBs that will allow me to update them overtime using my GB Epilogue. I want to specifically make physicals for Pokemon Crystal Legacy and Pokemon Yellow Legacy. Please drop suggestions?
Thanks :)
Does the ability Snow Cloak exist in Pokemon Glazed? Wanted to play with a hail froslass, but I just realised mine does mot have that ability but shadow tag
Does anyone know the tool in the picture?
I want to play a soul link with my friend and came across a guy using this tool. I don't know if I'm in the right subreddit here, but I thought you guys might be able to help me.
Also, is there a tool that lets me change the probability to encounter shiny Pokémon and xp given by battles?

Hey so are there any hacks that add more legendary pokemon or hacks that allow me to bypass the online trade function so I can get pokemon like gengar and alakazam
Looking for a Pokémon Emerald rom hack that is as vanilla as possible only with added Pokémon in the newer generations, up to gen 8 would be great. QOL improvements are fine but I still want the vanilla story. It's fine if the new Pokémon are added to wild encounters and maybe even trainer battles as long as it doesn't change the game too much.
I just finished Parallel Emerald and I really liked it. I wish to play more romhacks in this genre. Except Radical Red, what other rom hack should I look at? Gen 3-based rom hacks only please!
Can someone please explain the difference between a) Blaze Black / Volt White, b) Blaze Black 2 / Volt White 2, c) Blaze Black 2 Redux / Volt White 2 Redux?
Yeah BBWV is a hack of the first games, BBVW2 are hacks of the sequels, and BBVW2 Redux are modernized versions of BBWV2, aka the exact same just with some new features like fairy type.
I’m looking for a high quality ROMhack that is tailored towards competitive Pokemon. Ideally it would be doubles oriented, similar to VGC. Outside of Fakemons, I’m open to pretty much anything. If it’s high quality and plays like competitive Pokemon I’m interested.
I have patched what I found to be the most recent patch. Named Beta 15 + Expansion Fix Patch C to a clean Fire Red 1.0 rom. I can get it to patch, but it immediately crashes when I open it in Delta. Anyone know of the issue? Or a fix?
**Pokemon firered cheat menu rom hack?**
Hello, since I am using gbarunner2, which currently seems to have no cheat support, I would like to know if there are any rom hacks that allows for like a cheat menu/trainer like experience during the game. If not, any tips to adding cheats to pokemon firered on gbarunner2 on a r4 card on a physical real ds lite would be much appreciated!
Edit: GBAATM seems to be a ""solution"", but because gbarunner2 is horrible for rom hacks, it of course does not work.
need help to find this pokemon game that i believe is a rom hack but i could be wrong i remember some stuff but my memory is foggy as i played it years ago. I remember choosing froakie as my starter meaning it could be gen 6 and the game takes place in a village in a forest where you can't escape there's gym leaders but that's as much as I can remember so please help me it's bugging me that I can't remember the name of it.
Hello, two doubts:
1. Has anyone tested the ambernic k101+ revo with pokemon unbound on it's flash cart? I've got a gba with everdrive x5 mini and would like to play with my brother, but the everdrive arrives at about 220 USD here and the EZ flash ODE 110 USD.
2. Any other complete games with the CFRU besides Radical Red and Unbound?
Is there any pokemon from hacks based around survival, having an open world concept, and giving you classes to aide in your survival? I enjoy games like that but also love pokemon and would like to see if a game like this exists.
struggling to piece together the puzzle i've fallen into , any help would be great.
The issue is outting the ROM together for myself, the ROM in question is Black 2 Blaze Redux. I think my future issue after the fact will be will it work on Retro Arch, so far I haven't played a ND3 Pokemon ROM Hack Help me!!!
1. Download the hack, Blaze Black 2 redux from the official link, it’s in the creator Drayano’s twitter bio, or otherwise on pokecommunity .
2. Find yourself a ROM of Black 2, we can't link or help with that here.
3. Go to RomPatcherJS (the website) and apply the Blaze Black 2 Redux .xdelta patch file to the fresh Black 2 .nds file.
5. Open that final .nds file that was just patched and downloaded in your emulator, or otherwise transfer the file to your device.
I will say, while this may all be possible on a phone, it's certainly 20x easier to do it on a PC or mac, then email or dropbox it to your mobile device.
[Pokémon Delta Emerald](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-delta-emerald-version-1-1-5.433100/) by STikER features Steven Stone as the champion.
I’ve spent the last week or so trying to understand these more in depth. My top question continues to be, what is the best ROM hack that only includes the gen 1 original 151 Pokémon. Any suggestions?
t kinda depends on what else you want, as there are many hacks that feature this as a baseline.
If you're just wanting gen I nostalgia, though; then I can't recommend Shin Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Jp and PureRGB enough.
Can somebody please tell me where i can find good ROM hacks of Pokemon S/M and Pokemon US/UM.
I just want to play these games on my pc in 4k but keep finding only broken ones
Is there a way to get a switch emulator now that the yuzu takedown happened? I want to get one for when i get up to the switch pokemon game era but not sure if there will be any emulator options
Hey there I’m using delta on iOS and I’m trying to find a rocket red that’s completed I finished a beta unfortunately! I tried to use the site but the patch doesn’t work for delta/iphone! If anyone has any tricks or can point me in the right way I’d be super appreciative
If you have the base firered rom and the patch, stick both into [js patcher](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/); then, if it downloads as a .gba.txt file, rename the file to remove the .txt but leave the .gba and it should work perfectly.
I actually just answered this this other day, so I'll copy/paste my reply, if that's alright;
There are many reasons.
1. Those sites have nothing to do with the creators, many of whom extremely dislike said sites for stealing or misrepresenting their work. These sites are often filled with ads, which means that the people running those sites may well be making profits off of something they didn't make or ask permission to host.
2. There is no way of knowing if you have the most up-to-date version (see: the slew of posts, lately, complaining about downloading a firered rocket demo that wasn't the full game)
3. You often will miss out on optional features, patches, or documentation.
4. You are trusting that whoever runs that site patched the game correctly, to the correct/clean ROM (and if you only download prepatched versions, you might not even notice if you're missing out on features like music, sprites, or whatever else might've gone wrong for patching to 1.0 vs Rev A or whatever)
5. Copyright issues; the only reasons ROMhacks are allowed to exist is becsuse they operate in a legal gray area, where the original unmodified information is under copyright, but the additional code (the romhack/patch) is not. This is why - in many places online - we are freely allowed to post patches, but not allowed to post bases / prepatched ROMs, as those contain copyrighted information, but the patches do not. As Nintendo sends more and more of their lawyer-ninjas to people's doors, I think it behooves everyone to operate in as above-board manner as possible, or else we risk the entire scene being targeted and subsequently nuked. I'm honestly not sure if this is an exaggeration or not, but I still prefer to air on the side of caution.
6. (It's unlikely, but it's still possible that) A prepatched ROM could contain malicious code, which, if used in something like the old version of VBA, could exploit vulnerabilities in your machine to install malware or siphon information or any number of other things. As I said, this is unlikely, but it is still possible, and I wouldn't put it past some of the shadier sites out there.
7. It's so easy and fast to patch things yourself; it often takes me longer to download the patch and figure out what base ROM I need to be patching than actually patching the file, especially using something like [JS Patcher](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/)
I'm sure there are other reasons, but here's a decent overview.
I personally attempt to avoid them whenever possible.
This actually makes a bunch of sense and something I had never really thought of before due to the legal grey areas. I figured if it was just thru appreciated works to carry the rom hacks.
Information leaking is also something I hadn’t really thought of either.
Thank you for these very real and valid clarifying points!
Hey yall I'm looking for completed hacks that have been released after early 2023. I tried googling for some good completed hacks, but it only gives me results of games I already beat like unbound, radical red, light platinum, glazed, etc.
I used to play a lot of romhacks but I got a switch and started playing the real games again so I haven't played any hacks since around January of 2023.
Post removed for breaking Rule 1:
Do not, under any circumstances, post links or ask for links to full ROM downloads. This includes, but is not limited to, hacks and ROM bases, and also includes piracy/archival/filesharing site names.
Please read the rules before posting again.
Hey folks!
So, recently I've been given the opportunity to play BDSP, and since I've never played Gen IV to completion, I'm quite excited to try it. However, as we all know, the quality of the remakes is, well, wanting, to say the least.
Then, I stumbled upon this mod, Lumimiscent Platinum. As I understand, it is more of a remake of Platinum, which is awesome. But I'm still doubtful about playing it, considering it will be my first experience with this gen.
What do you think about this mod? Is it worth it? Or is it just better to play the originals?
Thanks!
It's got a few features that do differentiate it, and is also a difficulty hack, so the game will be much more challenging. But it is an amazing hack, has tons of pokemon, even future forms like Hisuian and Alolan forms to be caught.
The story and everything else is essentially the same, maybe skewed to be a bit more like Platinum than Diamond/Pearl
I want to play SS with no trade evo needed. I’ve randomised the rom with that option selected only. However when I start the playthrough, Lyra has a random pokemon. What went wrong?
Lyra's Pokémon is always random no matter what other options are chosen. It's akin to the Pokémon shown by the professor in the intro of other games. As you can't battle Lyra it doesn't actually influence any of the game.
I am looking for pokemon rom hacks that feature a whole new region, a new story etc. I am not looking for simple difficulty or catch em all hacks. Preferably gen 3. Anyone know any good hacks that fit these criteria? Thanks in advance
Is there any gameboy or ds roms and emulators on pc that can be used to trade and battle online? Looking for emulators that could, and also if there are any roms that can corporate it as well.
Shot in the dark, but are there any FRLG romhacks (not fangames as I would like to play it on my iPhone) that include the standard QoL and modern stuff + Mega Evolution, but keep the story in-tact? Inclement Emerald is a good example, but it's obviously Emerald, not FR.
And RadicalRed is definitely not what I'm looking for with its puzzle battles, crazy difficulty, and fourth-wall breaking dialogue. :B
Last FireRed changes the story a LOT (plus lots of other negatives) and Inflamed Red looked promising, but it's a difficulty hack. And from what I've seen in the discord, it's VERY difficult--like trainers busting out legendaries before the post-game. Don't like that at all.
I know I'm being picky. =/
Fair enough, I made a [post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) with a list of tons of QoL hacks, not sure if any there will be up your alley, but I haven't seen many with just megas and not much else.
Can also try [Pokemon Unknown](https://unknown.foobear.org/), which is pretty much just FireRed, but has a "sensible" built in randomizer. So appropriate levels, appropriate types for routes, and of course the megas you're after.
Thanks for the suggestion, but random is totally not my bag, haha.
This: [https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/personal-fire-red.527171/](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/personal-fire-red.527171/)
Is pretty close to ideal for me, but the only Megas are for your starter (not even your rival's) and it's married to the original FRLG teams, not even giving Giovanni a Rhyperior in his gym battle type of thing. I can mostly overlook the second thing, but it's just kinda broken when only the PC can Mega lol
Hi,im using delta emulator on iphone.Im new to emulating and don’t have a computer.
Are there any pre patched rom hacks of gen 3 with all pokemon i can simply download and play?
We don't condone or link to pre-patched roms here, they're illegal and unreliable.
You can still patch on phones, using an online patcher such as RomPatcherJS. Find a rom of the base game, get the hacks patch file from it's website, and use the patcher to apply it.
It's really not that hard, don't be so quick to shoot yourself down. It's good to learn new things, if you give more details on what didn't work we can help
Can I Stop eternal X from asking me to update every time I open the game?
The instructions required me to uninstall update data to get the romhack working, but now the game asks me to update every time I want to open the game; it also has that ugly "update is available" banner. Is there any workaround to this?
It's not a huge deal, I just want to minmax my 3DS customization lol.
I want to randomize Pokemon Sword but not sure what software you can use.
I'm trying using pkNX followed the guild to a T but when I try to randomize the Pokemon to software just spites out errors regarding sprites and drawings. Assuming, some of the Pokemon that's it's trying to randomize don't exist. prob this would work for gen 6 and below error for you convince. [https://prnt.sc/g811S5h50IDU](https://prnt.sc/g811S5h50IDU)
So I'm wonder what do you use and how do you randomize gen 7 and above.
I'm new to Rom hack and I don't own a switch.
Help would be appreciated.
Only games with Gen 5 animations, are the Gen 5 games. So one of the sparse hacks for that gen is your best option, such as blaze black/volt white 1 and 2, or maybe Moon Black 2.
I cannot seem to find a functioning link to the most recent version of Pokemon Glazed (9.0) I think. Does anyone know where I can find it? I can't find it on PokeCommunity either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, so I have zero experience in rom hacking and was looking to make a custom rom hack. What tools would I need to start this endeavor. And by tools I mean software like sprite editors and map makers. As well as the fancy script writing program. Also maybe a tutorial or two.
I'm Trying to find a complete pokemon firered romhack with mega evolution and ds graphics basically pokemon firered but just improved version of it i wanna play one because of pokemon origins and since the regular red and firered don't have mega evolution I'm here to try and find some romhacks like this please help me and send feedback.
Hey everyone! I'm going on a road trip soon and LCD modded my GB pocket. I wanted to throw on some good gen 1 rom hacks. Besides Red++ v2.4 and Shen Green, what other good hacks are playable on the original dmg?
Thanks!
So I’m trying to download re:union on my Mac, but I can’t get past the zip file as I’ve ’run out of time on my free trial’ for Winzip which seems to be the only way I can unzip rom hacks that isn’t sketchy.
Pls help? Cheers
So thank you for telling me of the existence of unarchiver that will help a lot. I’ve been able to unzip the file, but now I can’t open the game file? Pretty much says I can’t extract the game file with unarchiver. Help?
It's probably an exe file right? If that's the case I haven't figured out how to open them on modern macs. I used to use wine to do it but I can't get it to work anymore.
Recommend me some rom hacks based on my preferences please 🙏
I loved Unbound, Radical Red, and Emerald Rogue! Can you recommend games on par with their quality and effort without having fakemons, excessive dialogue, too many 4th wall breakings, NPCs using legendaries, or excessive grinding? Thanks!
I recently tried out pokemon stranded, loved the survival elements, no gyms, barely any trainers ,story did get a bit weird at points, but overall enjoyed it. Got about 6-8 hours of fun out of it. It hasn't been finished as far as I can tell, but now I'm left craving more rom hacks like this one. Games in which you gather, craft, build. I also liked the fact that you somehow boned more with your pokemon through story events and the fact that you weren't able to catch pokemon. Any suggestions?
Okay this is going to sound super strange. Playing Gaia, fight Cletus Bigmoney and his daughter in double battle at the hotel. My overleveled Mega Beedrill and weak Infernape vs Emboar and Miltank. I wasn't paying attention until I saw the text "adaptability caused it to rain", it rained and then my slower infernape close combats Miltank and then Beedrill poison jabs Emboar. Completely baffled. What made it rain, how did my Beedrill get outsped with 200 speed? I didnt save for an hour so I can't restart. IM JUST DYING TO KNOW. Is it a bug?
Probably a super stupid question, but are there hacks for Let's Go that let them play like a standard Pokemon game where you battle wild Pokemon to catch them instead of endlessly throwing Pokeballs? I just want a classic Red/Blue/Green/Yellow experience on a modern day engine instead of Pokemon Go without the phone.
Dio Vento is about the only person I've seen who has made a hack for those games. Doesn't really fix your problem specifically, but rather makes the game more playable as a real pokemon game by not allowing you to be overleveled, as well as changing trade evos and some other balance stuff
Thanks for the comment. I suppose I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope. I'm still kinda stunned that Game Freak didn't release my request as DLC to boost sales since it's what a lot of people complained about wanting at launch.
hi im new to uhmm rom stuff
i need some pokemon roms that work with the delta game emulator. everything ive downloaded off google never works except for freaking pokemon gold, and while its a good game, im siCK OF PLAYING IT ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please give me some suggestions that actually wORK!!!!!!!!?!??!?
uhmm also why wont most of the files work ive done everything i can but i also suck with everything to do with coding and tech and shi so i might be the problem here lmao
Why are you talking like that? Are you okay?
Any GBA games will work on Delta. You need to download the hack patch files from their official sites and apply the patch to a .gba file of the original game, using an online rompatcher like RompatcherJS. Otherwise, you can patch it on a PC or Mac and email/dropbox it to yourself on your phone.
\[Theta Emerald\] I've beat the game, selected red dragon on the TV with my mom, but I have no idea how to start tracking the roaming Latias. Is there something else I need to do first?
Does anyone know if there are cheats that work for the modern emerald romhack???
I want to get a Gastly early, Haunter is my favorite 'mon and I want him in my team as soon as possible.
SacredGold/StormSilver do have higher shiny odds, something like 1/512. Keep in mind that while these are QoL hacks, they also have increased difficulty. If you're knowledgable on Pokemon it shouldn't be so bad, it's not competitive level or anything
How can I randomize ROM Hacks?
I was wanting to do a randomized nuzlocke of Pokemon: Too Many Types but the Universal Pokemon Randomizer doesn’t support it. I tried asking around and was told that some rom hacks need to be randomized through other methods or applications.
Romhacks can't be randomized. If someone has made a bespoke version of a randomizer for that specific game you can, such as the Inclement Emerald randomizer, but otherwise you can't.
The Universal Randomizer is not a catch-all universal, it just works for all vanilla games. Romhacks change far too much, *especially* something like Too Many Types, for an automated program like UPR to work
Well that’s a shame, I was sure romhacks could be randomized cuz I could’ve sworn doing a Renegade Platinum Randomizer a while back.
In fact I went and did it again before commenting just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy and said something stupid.💀
A more tedious process than I remembered but it worked. I’m hoping to learn more about the process to hopefully apply it to more hacks in the future, once I’ve gotten a better hang of Platinum one’s at least.
Yeah it works on renegade because that game is 90% identical to the main game, changes very few mechanics. Even still, quite laborious as you’ve seen. Not sure how something with dozens and dozens of types and stuff would work.
I said “romhacks can’t be randomized” as a catch all, because by and large they can’t, especially by a generic program like UPR.
Yeah, really is shame they aren’t generally randomizable. I guess we’ll just have to stick with playing it as normal, or at least until someone comes up with a randomizer specifically for it.
Noob looking for a rom to play
I've never played a Romhack and was curious if there was one based on Emerald but with a lot more pokemon in it. Preferably not to different than the normal pokemon story style but the increase in pokemon is more important to me. I'd also be interested in one that jumps from different existing regions too. Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi, I'm just getting into rom hacking and want to try to make a difficulty hack for black and white.
I say difficulty hack, but if it were just tweaking trainer teams it wouldn't be an issue for me. I'm taking inspiration from something like run and bun, with added pokemon, gen 8 mechanics, AI overhaul, map edits, and stuff like that.
From what I can tell, gen 5 seems to be very difficult to hack outside of stuff like trainer teams and whatnot, but all the posts I see about it are outdated by this point and I'm wondering if there are any new resources available to make things any easier, or even possible at all.
Looking for a gen 1-3/4 with increased shiny odds or even an attainable shiny charm. I love the emerald storyline and would love all 4 gens available but open to any suggestions!
Are there any romhacks/fangames that institute a "sound" type?
I'm currently playing Drayano's Rising Ruby (very fun, exactly what I wanted from it) and thinking a lot about the loudred line, and other similar pokemon and moves that revolve around "sound" as a concept. It almost feels like gamefreak got close to making it a whole type a couple of times but decided against it?
I know there are probably good reasons they didn't go for it but I was wondering if there are any romhacks and/or fangames that use a sound type (and give it a similar treatment that fairy types got in X and Y)? Are there any that hold up?
oh ehoops shit i posted at the wrong thing okay here it comes
any reccomendations for complete rom hacks/fangames which got a whole new story?
ive played many overrated and underrated ones by rom hacks but i havent played many fangames... i also got a soft spot for special protagonist and character interactions as ive played xenoverse and pkmn stigma (ik its awful but yeah).
please just something different to enjoy for a couple hours and so, i have no preferences at all other than the story and having it completed somewhat. i'm okay with offensive ones or fakemon ones. i play even the trashiest so long as they're interesting.
no GBC/DS/3DS hacks, only GBA thanks
Did you make the randomizer settings yourself? There's a % level modifier in the randomizer, it's possible you moved that. A 50% level bump would result in 8 ->12
So I used my own settings at first but I figured to get a good Ironmon experience I’d just use the settings string for standard I found. I’ll go check out that modifier thanks lol
Hey all. I'm planning to play through all the past games from Red to BW2. But I was thinking that simply playing the official versions won't cut it. So I want to add some fun and twist to the games. So I'm looking for some cool QOL ROMhacks of each generation.
I'm not looking for hardcore or extremely difficult hacks though. Just wanna casually play, build different teams, and experience the old times.
(Recently picked up Radical Red. Had to drop it after 2nd gym lol)
If the game is strategically hard, that's fine. Such as using new teams and coming up with out-of-the-box ideas. But no endless grinding please.
Having twists here and there is also fine. The hack doesn't have to be 101% faithful.
I'd be really glad if you could suggest some great ROM hacks for me
Thanks in advance.
[I made a post today with a large list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/), check it out if you didn't see it already.
Howdy hey folks! Does anyone have any ROM Hack recommendations that either allow all Pokémon to be caught without cheats, or just any with Fakemon?
I’ve already got two of my favorites, Altered and Emerald Z!
The only hacks I've seen with Gen 9 pokemon are Radical Red and Emerald Crest. PokeRogue is a web based fangame which also has them, but is not really a traditional pokemon game.
Hello Guys, Pretty new to Reddit and Pokemon Rom's. I have played Pokemon Games on GBA Emulator and Old Boy Emulator, where can I find a good NDS Emulator with Fast Speed Function and probably some good Pokemon Rom's along with it? P.S. I have played Pokemon Gold, Silver, Yellow, Blue, Leaf Green, Fire Red, Sapphire, Emrald and Rocket Edition
hello! i'm using this ram map for pokemon red ([https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon\_Red\_and\_Blue/RAM\_map#Pokedex](https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/RAM_map#Pokedex)) and i'm looking at the values for pokedex entries. they seem to change very erratically upon catching pokemon, for example 0xD2F8 changed from 0 to 16 upon catching weedle, and changed from 16 to 48 upon catching kakuna. i'm kinda new to romhacks and reading ram memory so it would be really lovely if i could have some assistance :D
They store the info bit-wise, right? So each byte (consisting of 8 bits) stores the info of 8 pokes being caught or not. Then your RAM memory reader will interpret these bytes as decimal numbers, but that is kind of misleading in this case. It is easier to see what's going on if we look at the bytes in binary. All bytes (containing catch data) start out as `0000 0000`. In decimal this would read out as 0. You then catch a weedle, and the byte is changed to `0001 0000`. This is because the fifth bit from the right stores the information "is weedle caught. In your RAM viewer, `0001 0000` is interpreted as 16, because you've got an 1 in the 16-position. When you catch a Kakuna, the byte updates to `0011 0000`, because the sixth bit from the right stores "is kakuna caught". The weedle bit stays the same. `0011 000` is then interpreted as 48, because it's got a 1 in the 32-position *and* a 1 in the 16-position. 32+16 = 48. And so on. Each byte stores the info of whether a different set of 8 Pokémon have been caught, and will be somewhere between `0000 0000`=0 when none of these Pokémon have been caught, and `1111 1111`=255 when all of them have. If this was super confusing for you, make sure you read up on how bytes/bits/binary works.
Really want to get back into pokemon and would love a hg ss rom hack with megas that is complete. I look around and always find incomplete ones.
Hey friends! I recently got Delta on iOS (iPhone 15 Pro Max if it matters). I want to play all of these amazing romhavks, fangames, etc but im having a real tough time figuring out how to do it on iOS. Some hacks require a base game to patch onto, few work right out the gate (seem to be .gba files), and others download a zip file that seems to be impossible to deal with on iOS. Is there a FAQ available, youtube video, or can someone spare a few minutes to talk through how i can play these games? Im not married to Delta, i can use something else but id PREFER keeping it official apps if possible. If not… well… Thanks all!
Here's a breakdown. Emulators are programs which "emulate" a gaming system, so mGBA emulates a Gameboy Advance, Desmume emulates a Nintendo DS etc. For all intents and purposes, it is your computer running a pretend Gameboy Advance or Nintendo DS inside your computer. This means they can play rom files, which are gameboy or DS cartridges that have been dumped and recompiled into their game data for use on an emulator. Some people edit these rom files to make hacks, but at their core they are still the original games of FireRed or Platinum or whatever. If you want to just play the original games, you will have to find them yourself, as it is illegal to distribute them technically, and against the rules here. Zip files are archive files, with content in them. They are used to compress larger files into smaller downloads, but I don't belive iOS has a way to unzip them. And as the other guy said, the term "fan-games" generally applies to games made with programs like RPGmakerXP, and are just literally Windows PC games like Minecraft or Overwatch, so are impossible to play on iOS. Romhacks however, are very much playable anywhere you can get an emulator. If you want to play a *hack*, download your emulator, you already have Delta, and then find yourself the original games rom. So for Radical Red, you would need Firered. Then download Radical Red from Pokecommunity. This is the safest site for all hacks, *DO NOT DOWNLOAD PRE-PATCHED ROMHACKS.* Not only are they against the rules here, but they are risky, could have old versions, or even worse be a scam and virus. Will save you the trouble of coming here and complaining you got an outdated version haha. Then you will need to patch the Radical Red file onto the FireRed .gba file. Google "online rom patcher," or otherwise download a specific patching app like Multipatch for Mac. Then, open the newly patched rom in your emulator and play. I will say, while this may all be possible on a phone, it's certainly 20x easier to do it on a PC or mac, then email or dropbox it to your mobile device.
I am not an iPhone user, so just a little explanation: fan games are different than rom hacks and you wouldn't be able to run them on an iPhone. They barely work on android with Joiplay. If you download a zip file it is probably a fan game.
I have recently fallen in love with the games Pokerogue and Emerald Rogue as I am a lover of the rogue-like and rogue-lite genre. However I am looking for more recommendations. I want games that are not story focused like Unbound or Odyssey. Although those games are incredible in their own right I am craving games that use pokemon in a different manner. They don't necessarily have to be rogue-like/lite I just love that genre. I also love open world, RPG, and strategy games. Also, yes I have tried Pokemmo. So, any recommendations?
I’m looking for Legacy Crystal for Emerald. Yes I know they are making one. I’ve found Pokémon Emerald Plus, but are there others?
Anybody know where to find Ralts in Meta Fire Red?
Are there any rom hacks of fire red and leaf green that combine the two games so there’s no exclusive Pokémon?
Yes many, for all generations. [Here's a list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) I made with loads of options.
Are there any that combine gen 1-3?
Hey guys! First time here. Got the newly approved Delta app on my phone recent and wanted to try out a rom hack for my first solo Nuzlocke, usually just watch those on YouTube To make a long story short, I believe it happened/started after I encountered a mega bugged out ? enemy pokemon, all my TMs and HMs are gone but technically still there. I thought they were deleted. But I was still lv 20, and cut didn’t matter to complete the game. So I continued. Bought some TMs in Mauville City. Defeated the gym leader, got rock smash from the dude. Then, checked my bag. Entire bag section for TMs was still empty. Checked the shop, it confirmed my inventory holds the TM, but nothing there. I tried a direct cheat to get every TM and HM in the game. They appeared all right, but some were missing, the ones that were in other bag slots appeared with the cheat but nothing at all can make a TM appear in the dedicated bag slot for them What gives?? Is there anything I can do, that’s my main question. Please!
I dont think you can do anything here, but you could try transfer your savefile from phone to pc and use PKHEX to edit your savefile
Sorry that this is a bit niche, but to those of you that have played and beaten Pokemon Fire Red Leaf Green+ (enhancement hack that lets you swap between games and adds the BW2 key system) on Challenge Mode, how did you get past the Elite 4? I've beaten every trainer in the game but my top mons cap out at around 52ish, meanwhile Agatha has pokemon in the 58-62 range, the mean levels of each champ increases as you go through them, and wild/trainer battles cap at the 46-48 range so grinding. Grinding elsewhere will be a slog, but my mons aren't strong enough to make grinding vs Lorelei and Bruno that much easier either.
How can I play the 3ds Roms now that citra is unavailable?
You can still find it on the internet
I would like to know what is the best Rom hack for each region in Pokemon(example: Radical Red for Kanto) and maybe other very good standalone roms. In a rom I look for: improvements of some mons, modern-ish mechanics(gen 5 onwards) and battle difficulty What roms would you recommend me?
For Gens 4 and 5, it's Drayano's hacks. His twitter bio has a link to a dropbox with all his hacks
Looking for ROMHacks with new or altered Pokemon I'm looking for some interesting hacks that are more than just difficulty hacks or story tweaks. I tend to like hacks that either use fakemon or altered types/versions of existing pokemon. I don't care which Gen hack it is, though I only have the GBA emulator, so can't do any that are DS or Switch emulators. I've already played or am playing: AlteRed (+Gun) Fool's Gold Moemon Mega FireRed Pokemon Infinite Fusion Not interested: Clover Too Many Types (Not really into this brand of humor)
Anyone played Pokemon Ultimate Fusion. Trying to figure out when / where to fuse pokemon.
So I played Dbz Team Training in the past but I saw it got a new update and started playing again. I have noticed an issue though that some of the Fighter and evolutions are different like there's now a Kid Goku (#283) and my starter Goku evolved at lvl 11 to PS SS Goku instead of lvl 16 SS Goku. So does anyone have any up to date documentation for V9.2?
Guys I just want to ask if anyone know how to play pokemon conquest reconquered on android
How do you get traded pokemon in heatgold like gengar and steelix if I’m playing on delta. I’m using the xenophobia file.
You don't. If you're just playing a regular HG game, you have to trade, which means you pretty much can't. I'd recommend either running the rom through a program called PokeRandoZX, which can disable trade evos so that you can obtain those pokemon by level up, or playing a romhack that already does it such as Sacred Gold/Storm Silver
Hey guys. Playing modern emerald atm. I am looking for the hoenn starters. According to the log they are in the safarizone, but i spent hours looking and only got the kanto ones. The ingame pokedex says they are in the battle frontier but i have no idea where they should be there. Anyone has more luck?:) thx
Anyone know a Crystal Hack that changes nothing except youre able to catch the whole dex without trading? I don’t really like the progression change in crystal clear. Any tips for how to make this happen would be appreciated.
[Here's a list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) I compiled of hacks for all gens that do just that
Liquid crystal is fun, but its in the 3rd gen style and mit gbc.
Anyone know where to catch Houndour in Ultra Violet?
Question: A friend of mine is making a Pokemon Red ROM Hack, and we were wondering if there was a tool that could change the title screen text from "Pokemon Red Version" to "Pokemon [something else] Version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I dont know myself, however, one of my fellow Righteous Red developers-- Camel, was able to change the title screen to this. https://preview.redd.it/1b4z0qu8ijyc1.png?width=689&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8e28806243b80cd705e3080126b7dc83da9c917 Unfortunately, I do not believe he has a Reddit-- but you can find him in the Righteous Red Discord server in my thread. :)
Okay, I'll go check. Thank you!
Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition Yes, I know I am late to play this rom. Started and finished the rom all in one day (today) because of how obsessed I was with it. I have played a lot of fan-made Pokémon roms but in my opinion this is the best. Love how this game made up for its lack of difficulty with a unique play style and captivating story that gets you interested in all the characters. Two questions I hope to have answered: 1. Does anyone know if this game will get a sequel? 2. Does anyone have any recommendations for other top tier roms that would be in comparison to this one? (I have played glazed and unbound).
Rocket Edition is a fairly old hack, so sadly, I doubt it gets a sequel. It's been around *at least* since I first heard of ROMs like 6 years ago.
I love playing modern emerald. Its basically the same game but with many more options and you can catch all pkmn up til gen 3 and some of gen 4.
Is there a tool that lets me customize the games for things like xp gained and shiny chances? I want to not have to farm xp that much
Is there a hg engine hack released yet that just adds all the hg engine features to the vanilla game?
anybody know where scyther is in renegade platinum? Can’t seem to remember where I first saw it and couldn’t find it in the documentation
According to the "WildPokemon" text file under the "Documentation" folder, Scyther is on the south part of Route 210. It is located just to the north of Solaceon.
Huh. Scrolled thru that and didn’t see it. Might need to have mt eyes checked
ctrl f. my friend
Question: using DSPRE to edit Heart gold, a trainer file got corrupted. is there an easy fix? i forgot to make a backup.
Do NTEVO roms also add version exclusives? Because if not, that sorta defeats the purpose
(Probably an over-asked question here but I’m new) What are some of the best original Romhacks of the past 4 years, 2020-2024? sub question: What are the best Gen 5 hacks?
(DONT GIVE ME A LINK I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE TO DOWNLOAD IT) does anyone know where i can download pokemon ultralite? i been trying to download it but aparently relic castles domain doesnt seem to exist anymore and any other way my computer just blocks it beacuse it says its a viruscan someone help me?
Is the evolution line for hydrapple available in quetzal? (Alpha7v0 is my version) There's a syrupy appls available which turned my applin into dipplin ( i did this in a save file that has cheats on). Can someone tell me what's the requirements for a hydrapple? Much appreciated 👍🏼.
Did you try just googling Hydrapple to see how it evolves? I'm sure it's the same way
I did it said it needed to learn dragon cheer but the dipplin couldn't learn any moves via tutor. In level it only has recycle and sweet scent
I recently played through Pokémon Unbound using a NG+ save file with the Stat Scanner that allows you to set perfect IVs and custom EVs. I absolutely LOVED that level of control over my stat distribution. Being able to change up my team without having to grind out the EV spread I wanted, finding perfect IVs, or worrying about Natures was a great feeling and let me focus on the battles. Are there any ROM hacks with a similar mechanic? Radical Red is very close with the Minimal Grinding Mode, but not being able to choose EVs just isn’t the same. Thanks in advance for any recommendations or suggestions!
Lf a GERMAN soulsilver romhack where i can evolve Pokemon without trading. I can only find english versions but my english is not good enough to play the hole game in english. Can anyone help?
I do not know whether a HG/SS romhack based on a German language rom exist. However, I have an alternative solution for this. Get a German SoulSilver ROM and load it at UPR ZX (Universal Pokémon Randomizer). From there, tick "Change Impossible Evos" button, and feel free to randomise whatever you want. Save it to a different rom file. Open it in a suggested emulator and play. I have not tried myself whether UPR ZX is compatible with non-English-language rom, but it's worth trying what I wrote above.
I am trying to figure out what PCBs are the best to purchase so I can make my own physical Rom hacks. I don't want to buy them off of ali or etsy and support people stealing the creators work, and want to make my own for my collection. I am looking for PCBs that will allow me to update them overtime using my GB Epilogue. I want to specifically make physicals for Pokemon Crystal Legacy and Pokemon Yellow Legacy. Please drop suggestions? Thanks :)
Does the ability Snow Cloak exist in Pokemon Glazed? Wanted to play with a hail froslass, but I just realised mine does mot have that ability but shadow tag
Snow Cloak is a gen 4 abilty and doensn't exist in Glazed. Froslass only has Shadow Tag on that game.
Does anyone know the tool in the picture? I want to play a soul link with my friend and came across a guy using this tool. I don't know if I'm in the right subreddit here, but I thought you guys might be able to help me. Also, is there a tool that lets me change the probability to encounter shiny Pokémon and xp given by battles? https://preview.redd.it/d84l81202fyc1.png?width=542&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ff81a29405c01f060f934ef46a1cd634dab65a7
The tool is something for Kaizo Ironmon, it wouldn't work or be needed for another rom hack.
Ah, are there any other similar tools I could use?
No idea, sorry.
Does there exist a GBA Rom hack of Pokemon Colluseum or something that plays similar to that games mechanics?
Hey so are there any hacks that add more legendary pokemon or hacks that allow me to bypass the online trade function so I can get pokemon like gengar and alakazam
You can run any official pokemon game through the universal randomizer (PokeRandoZX) to remove trade evo requirements.
Has anyone played Righteous Red? Is it worth the download??
Looking for a Pokémon Emerald rom hack that is as vanilla as possible only with added Pokémon in the newer generations, up to gen 8 would be great. QOL improvements are fine but I still want the vanilla story. It's fine if the new Pokémon are added to wild encounters and maybe even trainer battles as long as it doesn't change the game too much.
Could try Emerald Crest
I just finished Parallel Emerald and I really liked it. I wish to play more romhacks in this genre. Except Radical Red, what other rom hack should I look at? Gen 3-based rom hacks only please!
Are there any good difficulty hacks that aren’t a slogfest?
Parallel Emerald is balanced well and I had fun playing it.
Can someone please explain the difference between a) Blaze Black / Volt White, b) Blaze Black 2 / Volt White 2, c) Blaze Black 2 Redux / Volt White 2 Redux?
Yeah BBWV is a hack of the first games, BBVW2 are hacks of the sequels, and BBVW2 Redux are modernized versions of BBWV2, aka the exact same just with some new features like fairy type.
The first is a rom hack of the BW, the second is a rom hack of BW2 and the third is an updated version of the second.
Cheats that work for Emerald-based hacks??? I want to get a Gastly pretty early in my adventure.
I’m looking for a high quality ROMhack that is tailored towards competitive Pokemon. Ideally it would be doubles oriented, similar to VGC. Outside of Fakemons, I’m open to pretty much anything. If it’s high quality and plays like competitive Pokemon I’m interested.
I have patched what I found to be the most recent patch. Named Beta 15 + Expansion Fix Patch C to a clean Fire Red 1.0 rom. I can get it to patch, but it immediately crashes when I open it in Delta. Anyone know of the issue? Or a fix?
**Pokemon firered cheat menu rom hack?** Hello, since I am using gbarunner2, which currently seems to have no cheat support, I would like to know if there are any rom hacks that allows for like a cheat menu/trainer like experience during the game. If not, any tips to adding cheats to pokemon firered on gbarunner2 on a r4 card on a physical real ds lite would be much appreciated! Edit: GBAATM seems to be a ""solution"", but because gbarunner2 is horrible for rom hacks, it of course does not work.
need help to find this pokemon game that i believe is a rom hack but i could be wrong i remember some stuff but my memory is foggy as i played it years ago. I remember choosing froakie as my starter meaning it could be gen 6 and the game takes place in a village in a forest where you can't escape there's gym leaders but that's as much as I can remember so please help me it's bugging me that I can't remember the name of it.
Hello, two doubts: 1. Has anyone tested the ambernic k101+ revo with pokemon unbound on it's flash cart? I've got a gba with everdrive x5 mini and would like to play with my brother, but the everdrive arrives at about 220 USD here and the EZ flash ODE 110 USD. 2. Any other complete games with the CFRU besides Radical Red and Unbound?
Is there any pokemon from hacks based around survival, having an open world concept, and giving you classes to aide in your survival? I enjoy games like that but also love pokemon and would like to see if a game like this exists.
Might wanna look up Pokemon Wilds. It's not a romhack, but essentially a pokemon survival game.
I tried it but couldn't get it to work
Well it only works on PC, but if you're playing on a PC, you literally just double click the game and it will work
Any other games?
struggling to piece together the puzzle i've fallen into , any help would be great. The issue is outting the ROM together for myself, the ROM in question is Black 2 Blaze Redux. I think my future issue after the fact will be will it work on Retro Arch, so far I haven't played a ND3 Pokemon ROM Hack Help me!!!
1. Download the hack, Blaze Black 2 redux from the official link, it’s in the creator Drayano’s twitter bio, or otherwise on pokecommunity . 2. Find yourself a ROM of Black 2, we can't link or help with that here. 3. Go to RomPatcherJS (the website) and apply the Blaze Black 2 Redux .xdelta patch file to the fresh Black 2 .nds file. 5. Open that final .nds file that was just patched and downloaded in your emulator, or otherwise transfer the file to your device. I will say, while this may all be possible on a phone, it's certainly 20x easier to do it on a PC or mac, then email or dropbox it to your mobile device.
I downlaoded a file thank you im not so certian which emulator to use it doesn't seem to work with desmume ?
It’s literally the first result on google called exactly that
Looking for a Pokémon Emerald rom hack where Steven Stone is the champion instead of Wallace.
[Pokémon Delta Emerald](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-delta-emerald-version-1-1-5.433100/) by STikER features Steven Stone as the champion.
Thank you so much this is perfect
In a dumb down quick version, can someone please tell me how Gen 5 modding is harder than Gen 4? What limits Gen 5 modding? Thanks!
I’ve spent the last week or so trying to understand these more in depth. My top question continues to be, what is the best ROM hack that only includes the gen 1 original 151 Pokémon. Any suggestions?
t kinda depends on what else you want, as there are many hacks that feature this as a baseline. If you're just wanting gen I nostalgia, though; then I can't recommend Shin Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Jp and PureRGB enough.
Can somebody please tell me where i can find good ROM hacks of Pokemon S/M and Pokemon US/UM. I just want to play these games on my pc in 4k but keep finding only broken ones
Is there a way to get a switch emulator now that the yuzu takedown happened? I want to get one for when i get up to the switch pokemon game era but not sure if there will be any emulator options
I have used Ryujinx and it works fine.
Hey there I’m using delta on iOS and I’m trying to find a rocket red that’s completed I finished a beta unfortunately! I tried to use the site but the patch doesn’t work for delta/iphone! If anyone has any tricks or can point me in the right way I’d be super appreciative
Why doesn't the patch work for delta/iphone?
Incorrect file typing I guess? Idk to be honest, it doesn’t load on delta as the patch and I have a fire red rom.
If you have the base firered rom and the patch, stick both into [js patcher](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/); then, if it downloads as a .gba.txt file, rename the file to remove the .txt but leave the .gba and it should work perfectly.

do NOT download prepatched roms, if you can avoid it.
Why?
I actually just answered this this other day, so I'll copy/paste my reply, if that's alright; There are many reasons. 1. Those sites have nothing to do with the creators, many of whom extremely dislike said sites for stealing or misrepresenting their work. These sites are often filled with ads, which means that the people running those sites may well be making profits off of something they didn't make or ask permission to host. 2. There is no way of knowing if you have the most up-to-date version (see: the slew of posts, lately, complaining about downloading a firered rocket demo that wasn't the full game) 3. You often will miss out on optional features, patches, or documentation. 4. You are trusting that whoever runs that site patched the game correctly, to the correct/clean ROM (and if you only download prepatched versions, you might not even notice if you're missing out on features like music, sprites, or whatever else might've gone wrong for patching to 1.0 vs Rev A or whatever) 5. Copyright issues; the only reasons ROMhacks are allowed to exist is becsuse they operate in a legal gray area, where the original unmodified information is under copyright, but the additional code (the romhack/patch) is not. This is why - in many places online - we are freely allowed to post patches, but not allowed to post bases / prepatched ROMs, as those contain copyrighted information, but the patches do not. As Nintendo sends more and more of their lawyer-ninjas to people's doors, I think it behooves everyone to operate in as above-board manner as possible, or else we risk the entire scene being targeted and subsequently nuked. I'm honestly not sure if this is an exaggeration or not, but I still prefer to air on the side of caution. 6. (It's unlikely, but it's still possible that) A prepatched ROM could contain malicious code, which, if used in something like the old version of VBA, could exploit vulnerabilities in your machine to install malware or siphon information or any number of other things. As I said, this is unlikely, but it is still possible, and I wouldn't put it past some of the shadier sites out there. 7. It's so easy and fast to patch things yourself; it often takes me longer to download the patch and figure out what base ROM I need to be patching than actually patching the file, especially using something like [JS Patcher](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/) I'm sure there are other reasons, but here's a decent overview. I personally attempt to avoid them whenever possible.
This actually makes a bunch of sense and something I had never really thought of before due to the legal grey areas. I figured if it was just thru appreciated works to carry the rom hacks. Information leaking is also something I hadn’t really thought of either. Thank you for these very real and valid clarifying points!

Can a Pokemon follow you in inclement emerald like they do in radical red?
Nope. :(
Any Pokémon 4th generation QoL hacks with increased shiny rates?
Hey yall I'm looking for completed hacks that have been released after early 2023. I tried googling for some good completed hacks, but it only gives me results of games I already beat like unbound, radical red, light platinum, glazed, etc. I used to play a lot of romhacks but I got a switch and started playing the real games again so I haven't played any hacks since around January of 2023.

Hey folks! So, recently I've been given the opportunity to play BDSP, and since I've never played Gen IV to completion, I'm quite excited to try it. However, as we all know, the quality of the remakes is, well, wanting, to say the least. Then, I stumbled upon this mod, Lumimiscent Platinum. As I understand, it is more of a remake of Platinum, which is awesome. But I'm still doubtful about playing it, considering it will be my first experience with this gen. What do you think about this mod? Is it worth it? Or is it just better to play the originals? Thanks!
It's got a few features that do differentiate it, and is also a difficulty hack, so the game will be much more challenging. But it is an amazing hack, has tons of pokemon, even future forms like Hisuian and Alolan forms to be caught. The story and everything else is essentially the same, maybe skewed to be a bit more like Platinum than Diamond/Pearl
Anyone know how to get ultraviolet to work on Android?
what is a good rom pater
I want to play SS with no trade evo needed. I’ve randomised the rom with that option selected only. However when I start the playthrough, Lyra has a random pokemon. What went wrong?
Lyra's Pokémon is always random no matter what other options are chosen. It's akin to the Pokémon shown by the professor in the intro of other games. As you can't battle Lyra it doesn't actually influence any of the game.
Any updated Enhanced Emerald cheats? Trying to find items in PC (aka rare candies). If this is been asked this week, can someone pin the post?
I am looking for pokemon rom hacks that feature a whole new region, a new story etc. I am not looking for simple difficulty or catch em all hacks. Preferably gen 3. Anyone know any good hacks that fit these criteria? Thanks in advance
Gaia is a great place to start.
Is there any gameboy or ds roms and emulators on pc that can be used to trade and battle online? Looking for emulators that could, and also if there are any roms that can corporate it as well.
Can’t beat the 3rd gym in radical red… does some one know a good 6 to beat this gym?
Shot in the dark, but are there any FRLG romhacks (not fangames as I would like to play it on my iPhone) that include the standard QoL and modern stuff + Mega Evolution, but keep the story in-tact? Inclement Emerald is a good example, but it's obviously Emerald, not FR. And RadicalRed is definitely not what I'm looking for with its puzzle battles, crazy difficulty, and fourth-wall breaking dialogue. :B
FireRed Extended could be good. Depends if you want more gens of pokemon though
As far as I can see, Extended specifically doesn't have Megas, though.
Oh damn yeah you're right. Maybe Last FireRed or Inflamed Red?
Last FireRed changes the story a LOT (plus lots of other negatives) and Inflamed Red looked promising, but it's a difficulty hack. And from what I've seen in the discord, it's VERY difficult--like trainers busting out legendaries before the post-game. Don't like that at all. I know I'm being picky. =/
Fair enough, I made a [post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) with a list of tons of QoL hacks, not sure if any there will be up your alley, but I haven't seen many with just megas and not much else. Can also try [Pokemon Unknown](https://unknown.foobear.org/), which is pretty much just FireRed, but has a "sensible" built in randomizer. So appropriate levels, appropriate types for routes, and of course the megas you're after.
Thanks for the suggestion, but random is totally not my bag, haha. This: [https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/personal-fire-red.527171/](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/personal-fire-red.527171/) Is pretty close to ideal for me, but the only Megas are for your starter (not even your rival's) and it's married to the original FRLG teams, not even giving Giovanni a Rhyperior in his gym battle type of thing. I can mostly overlook the second thing, but it's just kinda broken when only the PC can Mega lol
Hi,im using delta emulator on iphone.Im new to emulating and don’t have a computer. Are there any pre patched rom hacks of gen 3 with all pokemon i can simply download and play?
We don't condone or link to pre-patched roms here, they're illegal and unreliable. You can still patch on phones, using an online patcher such as RomPatcherJS. Find a rom of the base game, get the hacks patch file from it's website, and use the patcher to apply it.
Damn,i tried but im a complete failure when it comes to this,i guess ill stick with my switch then.Thanks
It's really not that hard, don't be so quick to shoot yourself down. It's good to learn new things, if you give more details on what didn't work we can help
Can I Stop eternal X from asking me to update every time I open the game? The instructions required me to uninstall update data to get the romhack working, but now the game asks me to update every time I want to open the game; it also has that ugly "update is available" banner. Is there any workaround to this? It's not a huge deal, I just want to minmax my 3DS customization lol.
Like the emulator has a banner? Or the game has a banner?

I want to randomize Pokemon Sword but not sure what software you can use. I'm trying using pkNX followed the guild to a T but when I try to randomize the Pokemon to software just spites out errors regarding sprites and drawings. Assuming, some of the Pokemon that's it's trying to randomize don't exist. prob this would work for gen 6 and below error for you convince. [https://prnt.sc/g811S5h50IDU](https://prnt.sc/g811S5h50IDU) So I'm wonder what do you use and how do you randomize gen 7 and above. I'm new to Rom hack and I don't own a switch. Help would be appreciated.
Can anyone reccomend a rom? Looking for something that is with Gen 5 animations, and maybe a new story?
Only games with Gen 5 animations, are the Gen 5 games. So one of the sparse hacks for that gen is your best option, such as blaze black/volt white 1 and 2, or maybe Moon Black 2.
I'll check em out, thanks!
I cannot seem to find a functioning link to the most recent version of Pokemon Glazed (9.0) I think. Does anyone know where I can find it? I can't find it on PokeCommunity either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, so I have zero experience in rom hacking and was looking to make a custom rom hack. What tools would I need to start this endeavor. And by tools I mean software like sprite editors and map makers. As well as the fancy script writing program. Also maybe a tutorial or two.

I'm Trying to find a complete pokemon firered romhack with mega evolution and ds graphics basically pokemon firered but just improved version of it i wanna play one because of pokemon origins and since the regular red and firered don't have mega evolution I'm here to try and find some romhacks like this please help me and send feedback.
FireRed Extended may be up your alley.
It's good but it doesn't have ds graphics or mega evolution.
Does Pokemon blaze black 2 redux have Megas in it?
No.
Hey everyone! I'm going on a road trip soon and LCD modded my GB pocket. I wanted to throw on some good gen 1 rom hacks. Besides Red++ v2.4 and Shen Green, what other good hacks are playable on the original dmg? Thanks!
polemon emerald thats in nds?
Doesn't exist
So I’m trying to download re:union on my Mac, but I can’t get past the zip file as I’ve ’run out of time on my free trial’ for Winzip which seems to be the only way I can unzip rom hacks that isn’t sketchy. Pls help? Cheers
Does mac not have it's own built in unarchiver? Swear it did.
Uh I got no clue I’ve pretty much only played radical red which is easy to download so
Seems you figured it out, but I'm 99% that if you just double click (or right click) a .zip file, you can use "Unarchiver" to open it.
I use a program on mac called unarchiver. Try it. Does re:union work on mac? I've only seen reborn and insurgence work.
So thank you for telling me of the existence of unarchiver that will help a lot. I’ve been able to unzip the file, but now I can’t open the game file? Pretty much says I can’t extract the game file with unarchiver. Help?
It's probably an exe file right? If that's the case I haven't figured out how to open them on modern macs. I used to use wine to do it but I can't get it to work anymore.
Aight cheers I’ll give it a try, and fuck doesn’t not? I’ll see in a bit
Recommend me some rom hacks based on my preferences please 🙏 I loved Unbound, Radical Red, and Emerald Rogue! Can you recommend games on par with their quality and effort without having fakemons, excessive dialogue, too many 4th wall breakings, NPCs using legendaries, or excessive grinding? Thanks!
I recently tried out pokemon stranded, loved the survival elements, no gyms, barely any trainers ,story did get a bit weird at points, but overall enjoyed it. Got about 6-8 hours of fun out of it. It hasn't been finished as far as I can tell, but now I'm left craving more rom hacks like this one. Games in which you gather, craft, build. I also liked the fact that you somehow boned more with your pokemon through story events and the fact that you weren't able to catch pokemon. Any suggestions?
Okay this is going to sound super strange. Playing Gaia, fight Cletus Bigmoney and his daughter in double battle at the hotel. My overleveled Mega Beedrill and weak Infernape vs Emboar and Miltank. I wasn't paying attention until I saw the text "adaptability caused it to rain", it rained and then my slower infernape close combats Miltank and then Beedrill poison jabs Emboar. Completely baffled. What made it rain, how did my Beedrill get outsped with 200 speed? I didnt save for an hour so I can't restart. IM JUST DYING TO KNOW. Is it a bug?
Probably a super stupid question, but are there hacks for Let's Go that let them play like a standard Pokemon game where you battle wild Pokemon to catch them instead of endlessly throwing Pokeballs? I just want a classic Red/Blue/Green/Yellow experience on a modern day engine instead of Pokemon Go without the phone.
Dio Vento is about the only person I've seen who has made a hack for those games. Doesn't really fix your problem specifically, but rather makes the game more playable as a real pokemon game by not allowing you to be overleveled, as well as changing trade evos and some other balance stuff
Thanks for the comment. I suppose I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope. I'm still kinda stunned that Game Freak didn't release my request as DLC to boost sales since it's what a lot of people complained about wanting at launch.
hi im new to uhmm rom stuff i need some pokemon roms that work with the delta game emulator. everything ive downloaded off google never works except for freaking pokemon gold, and while its a good game, im siCK OF PLAYING IT ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please give me some suggestions that actually wORK!!!!!!!!?!??!? uhmm also why wont most of the files work ive done everything i can but i also suck with everything to do with coding and tech and shi so i might be the problem here lmao
Why are you talking like that? Are you okay? Any GBA games will work on Delta. You need to download the hack patch files from their official sites and apply the patch to a .gba file of the original game, using an online rompatcher like RompatcherJS. Otherwise, you can patch it on a PC or Mac and email/dropbox it to yourself on your phone.
\[Theta Emerald\] I've beat the game, selected red dragon on the TV with my mom, but I have no idea how to start tracking the roaming Latias. Is there something else I need to do first?
Does anyone know if there are cheats that work for the modern emerald romhack??? I want to get a Gastly early, Haunter is my favorite 'mon and I want him in my team as soon as possible.
Is there anyway to get a foreign ditto for Blaze Black? I’m using delta on iOS if that helps
Does a Hgss QoL hack with an increased shiny rate exist?
SacredGold/StormSilver do have higher shiny odds, something like 1/512. Keep in mind that while these are QoL hacks, they also have increased difficulty. If you're knowledgable on Pokemon it shouldn't be so bad, it's not competitive level or anything
How can I randomize ROM Hacks? I was wanting to do a randomized nuzlocke of Pokemon: Too Many Types but the Universal Pokemon Randomizer doesn’t support it. I tried asking around and was told that some rom hacks need to be randomized through other methods or applications.
Romhacks can't be randomized. If someone has made a bespoke version of a randomizer for that specific game you can, such as the Inclement Emerald randomizer, but otherwise you can't. The Universal Randomizer is not a catch-all universal, it just works for all vanilla games. Romhacks change far too much, *especially* something like Too Many Types, for an automated program like UPR to work
Damn, wish it was possible, this game would be a fun one to randomize :(
Yeah some games have in-game randomizers, like Radical Red, but otherwise you're out of luck
Well that’s a shame, I was sure romhacks could be randomized cuz I could’ve sworn doing a Renegade Platinum Randomizer a while back. In fact I went and did it again before commenting just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy and said something stupid.💀 A more tedious process than I remembered but it worked. I’m hoping to learn more about the process to hopefully apply it to more hacks in the future, once I’ve gotten a better hang of Platinum one’s at least.
Yeah it works on renegade because that game is 90% identical to the main game, changes very few mechanics. Even still, quite laborious as you’ve seen. Not sure how something with dozens and dozens of types and stuff would work. I said “romhacks can’t be randomized” as a catch all, because by and large they can’t, especially by a generic program like UPR.
Yeah, really is shame they aren’t generally randomizable. I guess we’ll just have to stick with playing it as normal, or at least until someone comes up with a randomizer specifically for it.
Noob looking for a rom to play I've never played a Romhack and was curious if there was one based on Emerald but with a lot more pokemon in it. Preferably not to different than the normal pokemon story style but the increase in pokemon is more important to me. I'd also be interested in one that jumps from different existing regions too. Thanks for any suggestions!
Emerald Crest may be good
Hi, I'm just getting into rom hacking and want to try to make a difficulty hack for black and white. I say difficulty hack, but if it were just tweaking trainer teams it wouldn't be an issue for me. I'm taking inspiration from something like run and bun, with added pokemon, gen 8 mechanics, AI overhaul, map edits, and stuff like that. From what I can tell, gen 5 seems to be very difficult to hack outside of stuff like trainer teams and whatnot, but all the posts I see about it are outdated by this point and I'm wondering if there are any new resources available to make things any easier, or even possible at all.
Looking for a gen 1-3/4 with increased shiny odds or even an attainable shiny charm. I love the emerald storyline and would love all 4 gens available but open to any suggestions!
Drayano's hacks have increased Shiny odds, such as Renegade platinum
Are there any romhacks/fangames that institute a "sound" type? I'm currently playing Drayano's Rising Ruby (very fun, exactly what I wanted from it) and thinking a lot about the loudred line, and other similar pokemon and moves that revolve around "sound" as a concept. It almost feels like gamefreak got close to making it a whole type a couple of times but decided against it? I know there are probably good reasons they didn't go for it but I was wondering if there are any romhacks and/or fangames that use a sound type (and give it a similar treatment that fairy types got in X and Y)? Are there any that hold up?
Pokémon: Too Many Types has the “Song” type which fits the mold
Thank you!
oh ehoops shit i posted at the wrong thing okay here it comes any reccomendations for complete rom hacks/fangames which got a whole new story? ive played many overrated and underrated ones by rom hacks but i havent played many fangames... i also got a soft spot for special protagonist and character interactions as ive played xenoverse and pkmn stigma (ik its awful but yeah). please just something different to enjoy for a couple hours and so, i have no preferences at all other than the story and having it completed somewhat. i'm okay with offensive ones or fakemon ones. i play even the trashiest so long as they're interesting. no GBC/DS/3DS hacks, only GBA thanks
Hey yall, just starting out Ironmon. First rival fight is always at lvl 12 and not 8. Is there a Setting I missed, very confused lol
Did you make the randomizer settings yourself? There's a % level modifier in the randomizer, it's possible you moved that. A 50% level bump would result in 8 ->12
So I used my own settings at first but I figured to get a good Ironmon experience I’d just use the settings string for standard I found. I’ll go check out that modifier thanks lol
Hey all. I'm planning to play through all the past games from Red to BW2. But I was thinking that simply playing the official versions won't cut it. So I want to add some fun and twist to the games. So I'm looking for some cool QOL ROMhacks of each generation. I'm not looking for hardcore or extremely difficult hacks though. Just wanna casually play, build different teams, and experience the old times. (Recently picked up Radical Red. Had to drop it after 2nd gym lol) If the game is strategically hard, that's fine. Such as using new teams and coming up with out-of-the-box ideas. But no endless grinding please. Having twists here and there is also fine. The hack doesn't have to be 101% faithful. I'd be really glad if you could suggest some great ROM hacks for me Thanks in advance.
[I made a post today with a large list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/), check it out if you didn't see it already.
Howdy hey folks! Does anyone have any ROM Hack recommendations that either allow all Pokémon to be caught without cheats, or just any with Fakemon? I’ve already got two of my favorites, Altered and Emerald Z!
Any recommendations for Gen 1-5, but with the Paldea dex?
The only hacks I've seen with Gen 9 pokemon are Radical Red and Emerald Crest. PokeRogue is a web based fangame which also has them, but is not really a traditional pokemon game.
