I think I broke the emulator on my computer. I set up the preferences to put it on fullscreen because the box to play the game was so small. But everytime I go to open the game or the firered game the emulator automatically shuts off and gives me an error message. And even deleting it and re-downloading it doesn't work. First time messing with this sort of thing. This time it is with the Visual Boy Advance
Weird. You can also try to resize the window manually which works fine for me.

Nevermind, I receive similar results on fullscreen - try a lower resolution then.

I'll try but it isn't even allowing me to open up the emulator now. And before it would resize at all. Thank you anyway you have been a great help.

Finally fixed it Yay! Bagon here I come!

I loved this hack. It had a nice story, and great challenges. (Actually, a little too extreme for me. Lv 99 legendaries?) keep up the good work, man! (Please make more of these)

I have to "do some events"?
What i meant that you have to defeat Rockets in their Lab and follow the story and eventually you will go to the city then

Don't worry by the time you meet them, your team would also be at the same levels

Yeah just like original games it evolves through Happiness into Togetic and then by using a Sun Stone on Togetic, evolves into Togekiss

I already defeated the rockets in the lab. I got the emerald/sappire from LIGHT but the game didn't seem to work.

You WILL have to grind sooner or later anyways... take it as an opportunity to do it ;)


Teleport almost always bugs in hacks as creators don't really care about it...
It's normal that you get stuck unfortunately...
most the hacks i have played teleport works fine and i played alot lol

Extracted from my walk through....
Leave the factory and head back towards the Headquarters now either by flying there or through that cave in Pinnocle city. When you reach inside the HQ, you will give the Emerald to Sydney who will give it to FLORINA. After that SYDNEY will escort you back to Millennium City. When you are there she will say Goodbye for now and You will be left to roam the city.
Are you sure you did this????

Yes, I got the Magical emerald that is also a sapphire. Yes, I gave it to Florina(who now just does small talk about bill). Sydney will not escort me and she just tells me to go on a scroll. I would link you video where I get stuck but I don't have a high enough postcount to do that. The video is the last video in the last playlist listed in the OP's walkthough list.

It won't let me play? I use VBA (Visual Boy Advance). I downloaded the .rar file and it said that the game was an IPS file, but VBA doesn't support VBS or something..? The only files that come up are GBA and GBC files. Can anyone help me?

You have to download a clean FireRed Rom and then patch the IPS file to it. I use LunarIPS / LIPS to patch it together.

Nice hack. At last I finished this ><. (elite 4 + champion)
Boss battles are nice. They are a bit tough and have advantage in number.
The boss battles had seemed to be no problem to me until I reached elite 4 and their signature pokemons have advantage in status especially one of the champion ><! It always 1 hit KO me thanks to my 200 revives, there is no way I can going down lol.

Money in the game seems to be easy to find and it is everywhere so I never had a problem about that.

the connections of each scene look incomplete. I guess this hack was made by many people each people did each part then they combine them together so I think the game is end after elite 4 for now, right?

There are some scenes that look insane decorating while others look different that made me felt amazed a bit.

Overall, it is very nice hack to play. If there were someone who can mix all parts together, it would be really nice though. :)

Hello I'm new to these forums but I have Light Platinum and Flora Sky so far. And now I wanna try this out. But here is my issue. I'm currently using a android phone and when I try to download the link in the 1st post it keeps saying unsuccesful. This is a android bug and has happened very often but anyways all I need is a more of a direct link like mediafire for the .ips file. I know how to patch it and everything. I'm not a noob or anything. I know how to do all that. Its just this phone struggles with downloading from certain sites depending on format of the webite. I don't have access to a computer so that's out of the option so anyone willing to give me a link to the last verison that has been released please and thank you in advance. I know I could google but I wanna make sure I have the lastest verison cause google can be very unhelpful and confusing in verison numbers. Thank you.

Anyone on that would please help with a directlink for the .ips file please. I really wanna play this tonight. Before you tell me to goto 1st post please read my previous post above. The link won't download on my android phone. But a more directlink like mediafire or 4shared would work great. Please. I know someone has read this already. Yea you before you leave help me. Please...... :)
