Red Chapter is the ROM Hack. What you apply its patch to, is a ROM. More specifically, a ROM of Pokémon Fire Red USA v1.0, which you can easily find on Google. Hint: Squirrels.Hi! I'm kinda new to this. I really like the manga and i would like to try and play this but i don't know which specific emulator and rom hack (hope i typed out those things correctly) to use. Does anyone have any recommendation? Or any specific ones?
As for the emulator, VBA or VBAM. I wouldn't recommend any other to play Pokémon ROM Hacks.
Most of the ROM Hacks out there use ASM Routines and have changes that are not exactly hardware friendly, so the hardware accurate mGBA is not a good choice to play them.
Then, there's NO$GBA which has missing visual effects, an issue that has been present for more than 10 years now.
If you need to learn how to apply .ups patches, you can check this guide.
If you want a web-based and very straightforward patcher, I suggest you to use ROM Patcher JS.
