Need Help?

Stuck somewhere? Here are answers to the questions we get asked the most.

Which emulator should I use?

mGBA is the most popular free choice and runs great on PC and Mac (VBA and VBA-M also work). On Android, try MyBoy, PizzaBoy, or Retroarch. On iPhone/iPad, try Delta, 44VBA, or Retroarch. It also runs on handhelds like the Anbernic. Just open your patched game file with any of these and you’re ready to play!

What are the ZIP downloads for?

Those are for the “Prefer to patch it yourself” option below, for people who don’t want to use the button above. Pick v4.1.1 — it’s the newest version with the most fixes. Inside is a patch file (not the full game) that you apply yourself using a free site, along with your own Pokémon Fire Red file. See Download the Files above for sizes and version details.

What’s inside the ZIP file?

Just the patch itself (a small .ups file, not the full game), a HOW TO PLAY.txt with setup steps, and a Documentation folder with quick links to guides for level caps, stats, teambuilding, and wild encounters. The v4.1.1 ZIP also includes a Patch Notes.txt listing what changed.

Which version should I download?

v4.1.1 is the current version and includes every fix from earlier releases, so it’s the one we recommend. v4.0.3 is kept available as the previous build in case you ever need it.

Why did it say my file is wrong?

Our tool double-checks your file to make sure it’s the right one. Make sure you have the original Pokémon Fire Red (U) file — not a different language version, not a rom hack, and not a file that’s already been patched.

My game didn’t download

Take a look at your browser’s download bar (usually at the top or bottom of the screen) or your Downloads folder — some browsers ask you to confirm before saving a file.

Is this safe? Do I have to upload my game?

Totally safe! There are no uploads at all — your game file never leaves your device. Everything happens right there in your browser.

What’s new in this version?

v4.1.1 is the current version — see the full changelog above for everything that changed, including battle fixes and learnset additions. v4.0.3, the previous build, added crash and chest fixes over earlier releases.
