  • wat you do is you use lips patcher and, and patch the gba rom that the game was hacked from then you play it

  • You should ask this in the ROM hacking section.
    This section is simply for questions about the forum.

    AND.
    I believe IPS files are patches for the original ROMs...
    Which means you don't actually have the ROM, just a patch for one.

  • IPS files are just patches for the actual ROMs of the original pokémon games. You must have a copy of the ROM the game was hacked from (ex: English Fire Red was hacked, the creator has made an IPS available, you must patch an English Fire Red Rom) as for where to get the ROMs, all I can say is that google is your friend.

    Next time try asking this in the emulation section, it's more suited there.

  • vba can play ips patches without patching the rom.
    just make sure they have the same name and that they are in the same folder.
