You have "unrar" (unzip) the file first, then follow the instructions given. You need a squirrels firered.gba as a base since unipatcher will overwrite it with the unbound information in the file you downloaded from here.
Check the unbound discord channel, there are detailed instructions on how to patch using an Android device (I'm using MyBoy on my Samsung tabA).
Good luck!

I would like to report a potential softlock. It happens after you talk to Jax about going to Tehl Town through Route 10. After he leaves, I am still stuck in the cutscene and can't do anything. I haven't seen any of the Youtubers playing this game encounter this issue, so how can I prevent this?
The changelog is included in the download.
If the rewards could be obtained elsewhere it's too late to receive them. Since items like the Shiny Charm and Oval Charm are one-time only, save files have automatically been adjusted to account for the changes.
Uhhh I think it's one of the DPPT lower region themes.
In the new version you raise it back up to Difficult at max. But if you clear the game, you can play on New Game + where you can freely change difficulty at will! Technically allows for more than the original four combinations I intended.
I assume you're talking about Reshiram and Zekrom? There was a bug in 1.0 and this has been addressed.
If you can legitimately afford that I'll tell you
Not in the current version, I'm afraid.
Please update to 1.1.1.
UPDATE
v1.1.1 is out!
I fixed bugs from yesterday and made minor adjustments. I highly recommend downloading immediately due to the game crashing bug fixes.
• Jax's Cinder Volcano team will change in the Marlon fight if you overlevel for Insane
• Slowpoke has been added to Route 3
• Teleport checkpoints have been added to the post-game Claydol puzzle
• Fixed: Some items and Pokedex data will be transferred over to a New Game even if NG+ isn't selected
• Fixed: Going up the waterfall on Route 4 can cause clipping through a Lapras
• Fixed: The game will crash after the Sky Battle with only one Flying mon
• Fixed: Starter's perfect stat isn't being recalculated immediately
• Fixed: Fly interacts weirdly if there is no target on the field after the user is in the air
• Fixed: Biking is possible in one of the Seaport City houses
• Fixed: Trick Room is not disabled after a permanent Trick Room battle
• Fixed: Selling Berries turns the quantity in the Berry Pouch white
• Fixed: Visual bug with one of the Antisis Port barriers
• Fixed: Safari mons don't change after running from them
• Fixed: Ditto copies the foe's Hidden Power when it should use its own
• Fixed: Keen Eye ignores lowered Evasion too
• Fixed: Some areas in the Blizzard City don't have collision

So I don't know if I'm just being stupid or what but this is a fire red rom hack right so I would need to use NUPS patcher to play this. when I open up NUPS it doesn't show me the Unbound patch. what am I doing wrong?

Hi guys i am playng your hack for some days now and i must say im loving it.
The art style, the huge world and the edgy story make the gameplay delicious. All the modifications of the engine are amazing, really, you guys nailed it. It feels better than a game made by gamefreak while having the taste of the old pokemon games in it.
I'm on the sixth gym playing on insane difficulty and still didn't ev trained any of my pokemons, (i feel like the boss battles are pretty much like a puzzle and i modify my team for it) which takes me to ask some things:
There is any way to implement level caps in the game? this would be a huge quality of life feature for so many things:
1st: It would lock out potentially overpowered evolutions/movesets out of some gyms, which would help with the difficulty curve (principally on insane)
2nd: It would make gaining exp and having exp boosted pokemons not punishing (I feel like i'm avoiding every trainer battle i can because i dont want to overlevel my pokemon and have to grind exp carefully so everybody gets on the same level)
3rd: It would Incentivize players that are playing on Insane to have fun while battling trainers
4th: It would make teams more dynamic and help people use different pokemons instead of having to go to a grindfest everytime you change a team member. ( i even started to go on boss battles with 1 or 2 underleveled pokemons holding lucky eggs because i did not want to suffer the pain of grinding again).
5th: It would help people to ev train without having to think about overleveling your pokemon
Which goes to my second question, what are your position on having really powerfull (and quick) ev training methods early game (like a macho brace that yelds 8x evs)? I kinda of avoid grinding too much like the plague so i would do any additional quest to be able to do it painlessly,.
Anyway, thank you so much for all the work your team had put on this game. Im having way too much fun fighting the boss fights and coming with ways to fuck up the AI.
Best regards

I assume you're playing on the easiest difficulty? The bug was that the Rival wouldn't scale up with you in the difficulty. But now, like you said, since he scales properly, he's able to bail you out.lmao now i kinda feel bad, didn't even think it might've been a bug
EDIT: Nope. They still scale and because I had to overlevel they're floating at 76. Luckily I got bailed out by the Rival.

You need to extract the compressed file. The patch is inside.
Please update to the latest version.
Level caps are a mixed bag because at the same time, like you said, they lock you out of the OP movesets. Insane is all about OP and ridiculously difficult, so you want the ability to learn as many great moves as possible. That being said, I watched some videos of the new Insane today, and even with a team of level 100s, the battles so far are looking tough. If you don't like how fast you're gaining levels, you can always turn off the Exp. Share in the Options Menu! If you want to have fun just battling Trainers, I recommend Expert. There's nothing ridiculous there, and it should provide a fairer challenge.
New EV training methods were added in the latest version! If you download and read through the changelog, you'll be able to see what was added.
1. You can smash rocks in the Great Desert or mine for them in the post-game. There are also "hidden" shards underwater in the post-game.
2. Please the evolution doc linked in the FAQ.

Spoiler:
Wow thanks for the reply. I am now currently opening the changelogs to look for tips to get this marvelous ev training methods.🙃
Well about the overleveling i must say that the exp share option on is the only thing keeping me sane during this playthrough because it keeps every single pokemon of my party around the same level.
The thing that is making me suffer with grinding is that i like to have multiple pokemons besides the ones on my main team and having a level imbalance (because of how the enemies scales to the highest level pokemon in my party) is pretty detrimental in boss fights.
I am seeing myself more often than not grinding my pokemons at the trainers house so they can catch up with leveling or boxing pokemons for the sole reason that they leveled way too much compared to the rest of the team.
@edit i think that even you dont enforce it ( like other hacks do) it would be amazing to have an option of max levels in the menu which would make the exp gain above it impossible.
And, still, thats just my opinion based on my playthrough on insane, maybe other people have different opinions about it. Still enjoying this game a lot.

Just patch a new FR file and replace the old GBA file with the new file having the same name.

Change the save type on your emulator (Google it) to Flash 128k.
UPDATE
v1.1.2 is out!
This is moreso for the insane people, but I fixed a few important bugs as well. If you're going for a HOF, you must update to v1.1.2! I will know if you didn't.
• Evasion boosts have been removed from the Battle Sands
• Gyms 6 & 7 have been made slightly harder on Insane
• General Insane polish
• Sucker Punch has been reduced to 70 BP
• DexNav search levels will carry over to NG+ too
• Fixed: Error upon losing Hoopa battle on Insane
• Fixed: Oval Charm not being received upon clearing Extreme Hyperosmia
• Fixed: Tessy never appears at the Magnolia Cafe even when she's supposed to
• Fixed: Bootscreen says 2020 instead of 2021
• Fixed: A Poke Ball can appear above a rock in Thundercap Mt.
• Fixed: Dive is constantly given by Captain Davy in NG+
• Fixed: Shellos East Eggs have a ridiculous hatch cycle
• Fixed: Transformed Pokemon can use Z-Moves
• Fixed: Alice's text is partially broken in her Mission string
• Fixed: Evolving a Pokemon through battle can sometimes have the wrong background
• Fixed: Potential softlock in dark version of Vivill Warehouse top floor scene
• Fixed: Typo with Rival outside Crystal Peak
• Fixed: Setting poison doesn't appear as no effect on the move menu against Poison- and Steel-types

I changed the save type for my emulator (VisualBoyAdvance), but it still says that it's the wrong save type. I changed it to Flash 128k, and yet it's not working. I've patched it properly, and I've never had any issues with ROMs, patching, or save types before. Is there another emulator that's been shown to work better than VBA? Or should I try to repatch it? I can also take some screenshots if need be.
Edit: It's working just fine now! I switched from VBA to mGBA, and it's running wonderfully. Guess my VBA is acting up. Either way, now I can enjoy the game, and I look forward to playing it!~

I'm currently waiting for the final release to play this game, because I know that I'd find a way to screw up transferring my save file from one version to another, but oh my goodness, the wait is really hard! I can tell from the talk about this game, that it has turned out to be as exceptional as we all hoped it would be! I believe that you could have a very successful future in game development, if you want it.
I'm still so grateful to you, Skeli for putting all this hard work and dedication into making a fantastic game for us fans, asking for nothing in return, except maybe our thanks. So...thank you, Skeli! I wish you'll have fun, great luck and favor in finishing this game!

I'm not getting a compressed file that needs to have something extracted from it when I download it, it looks like a normal patch.
