RomPatcher.js VS universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

You need to patch your rom with the translation patch. On PC there's offline patchers, but using something like https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ is probably easiest on mobile.

In that case, you're gonna need a ROM, an emulator (https://www.zophar.net/snes/snes9x.html), a translation patch (https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/63676-fe4-translation-patch-open-beta-v7/#comments), and a patcher (https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/). Theres different patches for different versions of the game, but the readme in the translation patch tells you which patch to use for your file.

Do you have a 3DS or PSP? I hacked mine and it’s really convenient to play old games on. There’s lots of homebrew tutorials on YouTube. For those games you need to put a translation patch on the rom (I usually use this website to patch stuff). Or sometimes you can find a rom that someone already patched. All this might sound complicated, but trust me it’s not. I barely know anything about computers and this kinda thing, but I figured this stuff out.

I usually get my patches from Romhacking.net, and they specify which ROM you'll need in the the ROM / ISO Information section in each page. For patching, I use Floating IPS. You just need the .ips patch and a copy of the right ROM. You could also use online patchers, like the one over at www.marcrobledo.com.

I then loaded the ISO.file with the latest patch 2.0.31 https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=12767.0 with the help of the following website https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

You need to patch it first with a clean emerald rom (Emerald.gba (Trashman)) . Using https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

Ideally this feature gets merged into the actual project over here, but I was too excited to wait for that to happen. But please understand this is an extension of an already fantastic tool called the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX.

Want to run my seed? here it is (mirror), this file is to be used with Universal Pokemon Randomizer zx.

Another tool you could use to get a Yanmega as a starter is Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX. Even though its main purpose is to randomize roms, you can also use it to just change the starter selection.

That guide is outdated. Nowadays, you can open a regular 3ds rom in Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX, and output either a LayeredFS patch for a real 3ds, or a cxi file for Citra.

This randomizer supports gen 6 and 7 too I believe

Here is a link for the Randomizer on GitHub.
