103

Pokemon Radical Red is a ROM hack of FireRed and a promising addition to your Pokemon ROM hack to-play list. The hack itself is a modification of gameplay elements in FireRed.

Details On Pokemon Radical Red

Story

The story is the same as FireRed, so there’s nothing much to talk about. All the characters and flow of the story in Pokemon Radical Red are the same, so you already know what to expect.

The part that makes it interesting would be the gameplay itself since you’ll be tackling different Pokemon and challenges along the way.

Features

We mentioned that there is a randomizer option when the game starts. If you choose to randomize everything, you can’t change it unless you make a new playthrough.

The difficulty of Pokemon Radical Red is tough, but it isn’t impossible. The game also makes a lot of changes and additions when it comes to abilities. You can swap abilities on your Pokemon and even train them even more. Radical Red is said to have more updates in the future.

- To clarify, you cannot directly download a .GBA file. You must first patch the downloaded file to its base rom in order to play the game. We have provided a guide on how to patch a rom hack, which you can access from this link.

Hey,
I got the problem that it wont work.
I tried a lot with FireRed (german) Firered (USA) Emeralt (USA).
Maybe im to silly but I used the NUPS and always say that:
That the Patch doesnt match the File.
Is it the ROM? Where can i download the “right” ROM? or is it just the Emulator who cant read the “new” ROM (GBA-Emulator is: visualboyadvance)
Reply
- Hi Obi, most likely it’s your rom version causing the issue, but make it sure you followed our ROM Hack patching guide carefully. In my experience, the FireRed Squirrels version works well for patching, you might want to find that version.
  Reply
  - Thx for the answer.
    I found the problem.

    - how did you fix it

How can i get this working on classic boy emulator. It immediately closes the rom when i load the game

  Reply
  - The file isn’t showing up in My Boy, pls help
    Reply
    - I assume you downloaded the file and imported it directly to MyBoy, that will not work. You need to patch the downloaded file before you can play it, check this tutorial we created on how you can patch a rom hack to play it on your emulator.
      Reply
      - Hi. I need help I couldn’t understand what does the tutorial mean can you explain me how can I play this GAME IT WON’T SHOW ON MY MYBOY. PLEASE I NEED HELP
      - It’s also happening to me
So I just finished patching it and ran it with my emulator, and it says that I have the wrong save type and that I need to change to Flash 128k. I have no idea what this means, so could anyone help out?
Reply
- i keep having the same issue
  Reply
- Open your emulator, press options, go to emulator option, go to save type and click Flash128K and restart your emulator and play your game.
  Reply
  - after change the save type i read “WARNING!” and i don’t know how to fix.
