Unless the download link on your front page was wrong, then yes. To be honest, I was running 2.5 before, not 2.6. I haven't fully tested out 2.6 yet (only patched it a short while ago), but I don't think a variation of a 0.1 version is the problem why I received a Lvl 100 starter... IMO.
Also, again, is it normal for me to be stuck at Vermilion City? I can't seem to go anywhere from there... Wish someone would create a walkthrough guide for all your Adventures hack someday.
Edit:
Yeah, it looks like 2.6 has no problems with the Lvl 100 starter... That, or it's merely a matter of restarting the game, which would probably have worked with 2.5 anyway. Oh well.
Edit2:
Looks like talking to the Masked Man after getting the Pokeball across from him would still cause the game to freeze.
