Wi-fi Battles.

Hello everyone! I would like to know if some people here knows how to, and if is up for some wi-fi battles with RBY-GSC roms?

I know there are a couple of simulators, but it's not the same. You know what I mean.

Currently, me and another 2 friends are making ingame teams. Train and battle with pokes that we just like, not THAT competitive and stallish stuff :)

Just in case, if someone is intererested and want more info about it, you can ask everything here. Also, my skype name is: depcyuzala.

Best regards.

Try this:

-Open VBALink
-Don't open the game
-Go to Options->Emulators->Save Type->Put a Tick on Flash 128k
-Go to Options->Emulators->Put a Tick on Pause when inactive window
-Then Go to Options->Link->Put a tick on Wireless Adapter
-Then ask your friend to do the same
-Then Go to Options->Link->Settings->Tick on Network not Single Computer(Single Computer if you want to trade with yourself )
-Then Again go to Options->Link->Settings->Server->Press Start
-You will see an IP Address in a box(Don't close the box till you are connected)
-Tell your friend to go to Options->Link->Settings->Client->And erase the word "localhost"
-Tell your friend the IP Address you see and write the IP Address where "localhost" was written and press Connect
-Both of you will be connected then :D
-Go to Pokemon Center and talk to the lady
-Choose Trade Pokemon/Battle or whatever

Haha, thanks but I already know how to wi-fi battle :) I was asking if someone is up for a match.

In any case, It's very funny and I think some people here would like to do it, specially those nostalgia lovers.

In need of help with Pokemon Apollo

I have tried very hard and in many different ways to get Pokemon Apollo, a ROM Hack of Pokemon FireRed. I just can't seem to get it right. I have an iPhone 4S with GBA4iOS 2.0. I am really lost, and this ROM looks awesome. I would really love it if someone would help me with this predicament.

I moved your post over to this thread, questions regarding emulation of ROMs belong here.

You have to download a ROM of the pokémon game Apollo is based on (google for it, distribution of ROMs is illegal in the forums), and apply the patch you downloaded off the hack's thread on the ROM. If you don't know how to patch ROMs, check out the FAQ thread in the ROM Hacking section or simply google "how to patch ROMs".

Thanks for your help. Anyway, I have already tried patching Apollo to FireRed (the base.). I come out with a FireRed.BAK and that doesnt help out much.

I am having a VERY Hard time figuring this thing out. Ive watched videos and tried different programs, but nothing seems to work. IF someone could be super-mega-awesome and do this for me, it would be very greatly appreciated.

What kind of format is the patch file in? Is it IPS? You should either come out with a GBA file and a backup file, or just the normal Fire Red.GBA which will be patched, so if you run it it'll be Apollo.

Apollo is IPS, Fire Red is GBA, I used Lunar IPS to patch them, and it seemed to have worked. I loaded it into my phone and tried playing it. All I got was a white screen, as usual. For some reason all the ROMs appear as Notepads (I have windows 8) on my computer. This may be affecting something, but I can load all my other ROMs fine.

Try downloading a different Fire Red ROM? If Apollo is a Fire Red hack, after applying the IPS patch the ROM should work fine.

Pokemon Heart Gold/ Soul Silver

hey guys.
i hope i'm posting it in the right place..
ive been wanting to play pokemon HG/SS for a really long time. i've played all of the other pokemon games on PC emulators ( desdume. NO@gba and such) . i also play pokemon x on real 3 ds.
but the problem is that the only game which DOESNT work for me is pokemon soul silver/heart gold.
the screen sometimes gets dark or it's just lagging or freezing. i tired using codes and such but it just doesnt work.

so my question is- are these games ( pokemon HG/SS ) arent playable as roms?
if any1 knows a way to make it work please let me know? thanks alot
^_^
