    If you want to play Pokemon ROM Hacks on original Game Boy Advance Hardware like Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, and Game Boy Player on GameCube.

    This guide will help you to run Pokemon ROM Hacks on original GBA Hardware.

    Items Required:
    • Game Boy Advance Hardware (GBA, GBA SP, Game Boy Micro, NDS, NDS Lite, or Game Boy Player for GCN)
    • EverDrive GBA X5, EverDrive GBA X5 Mini, EZ Flash Omega, or EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition
    • MicroSD Card with at least 8GB or more

    Items NOT Required:
    • Reproduction Copy of any Pokemon ROM Hacks

    Getting Started:
    1. Download the latest Firmware of EverDrive GBA X5 or EZ Flash Omega.
    2. EverDrive GBA X5: Extract the ZIP File and copy "GBASYS" folder to Root of MicroSD Card.
      EZ Flash Omega: Extract the ZIP File and copy "ezkernel.bin" or "ezkernelnew.bin" to Root of MicroSD Card.
    3. Place any Pokemon ROM Hacks everywhere on MicroSD Card except "GBASYS" folder.
    4. Eject your MicroSD Card and insert to your EverDrive GBA X5 or EZ Flash Omega.
    5. Turn on your GBA Hardware and begin running a Pokemon ROM Hack.

    Troubleshoot:
    • If the Nintendo Logo was glitched on GBA Boot Screen and unable to load a ROM. Go to General Settings and enable Quick Boot.
    • If a ROM Hack requires Real Time Clock (RTC). Go to ROM Settings and enable RTC.
    • If a ROM Hack is unable to create a Save File. Go to ROM Settings and change the Save Type to the correct one that is required.
