FireRed hack: Pokemon Rocket Strike (IPS-Patch released!)

[jerzo]

:( I have wanted to play a game like this my since 96! Unfortunately I'm broke and only have a cell phone and a tablet, which that website doesn't support :( . in will try to go to the library or something to check it out when I can, but I hope you get the opportunity to post the ROM online in a zip in the future. I would pay to be a rocket! Why can't game freak see that?

You only need to start it once, then you can play offline or play it on tablet/mobile/whatever emulator.

I need to look into this!!!!

 

[GTV]

um, can I play it offline on my tablet?

 

[GTV]

There actually is a way to play offline in VBA (or whatever your GBA emulator of choice may be). It does require the RGR plugin, though.

1. Open the game in the RGR plugin.
2. As soon as the game loads, close the plugin.
3. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Vizzed\VizzedRgrPlugin\Roms (Windows XP) or C:\ProgramData\Vizzed\VizzedRgrPlugin\Roms (Windows Vista/7/8).
4. The .gba rom will be there! Now all you have to do is copy it to wherever you store your hacks/GBA roms.

This actually applies to any game available in the RGR. ;)

this didn't work for my tablet. what a rip off

It needs to be Windows for the first time cause only Windows( I think) supports the plugin. Then you can proceed with the next steps.

Ive literally spent hours looking...
I can't find where the roms folder is (windows 8 btw). If someone else knows how to explain it better (no offense) can you please do so?

Just for reference, for me to pull up the folder I have to go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Vizzed\Vizzed Retro Game Room

What's up with the Physical/Special split in this game? :)

I had the same problem, but this is how I fixed it:
Click on the windows button and open up the yellow 'Plugin Data Folder', this opens up a new document which contains the map 'roms' where you can copy & paste the .gba file.

I hope this helped you out a bit!

It's the same as in normal Firered, so no changes there.

First of all, I want to say that I am not trying to antagonize you. I know you're tired of dealing with complaints about this. I just want to at least talk this over with you. If you refuse to provide another way of acquiring your hack then I won't complain. But I at least want to hear your reasons. I at least want to see whether or not we can reach some kind of compromise that suits both of our interests.

Second of all, the reason why I don't have the option of using the plugin is simple: I don't use Windows at all. I use Linux, and I do not have an easily accessible method of getting your hack. I know that many others are in similar situations.

I don't understand what the point of this plugin is, but if it is just for the sake of being able to distribute the patched rom file itself, then I think it is quite extraneous, because I know how easy it is to patch the game myself. If the reason for the plugin is something else, then fine, but let's at least talk about it.

If it's the statistics that you're after, it would surely be no problem to just track the number of times people have accessed a hosted IPS patch or whatever the equivalent may be in this case. Simple, easy, and breaks no rules that I know of.

It's simple. I think I stated in the description that this hack was made because of a competition which had the rule that the hacks are not allowed to be distributed as a patch.
Sorry for the inconvenience with Vizzed, hate that they've only Windows support.
Maybe you know someone who has a Windows PC....

Is it still in beta? I don't like to play incomplete hacks and the reason why is I don't like waiting for a new update. Yes I am very impatient.

 

[valle08]

Well I have linux so I wont be able to play this game and really want to...so can someone share a link or something so i can play the game on myboy emu? Please if allowed.

I just started playing this hack and it is quite interesting! The difficulty curve is a bit higher, which is nice, although I find it disheartening how you often get attacked right in front of as well as inside of a Pokemon Center. And there are so many double battles! Thanks for making it, though!

Thanks, buddy. Lol if I created Pokemon it would be that way: no way out of battles.
Personally I like double battles. To me, it seemed like a good way to implement them to get weaker Pokemon stronger faster than normal 1vs1 battles.

Have you seen one so far? Because I'm not quite sure if Chansey is in the game...
