pokered-speedchoice VS Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade

there's also a pokered speedchoice if you're interested, as well as pokeemerald tho it looks like you'll have to build that one yourself.

I came across Skeli789's Complete FireRed Upgrade hack and really just wanted to play the base hack without any additional modifications. The instructions seemed straightforward enough, but I really didn't want to have to install additional software for a one-time use, and I wasn’t really sure how to set up the offsets or if I even needed to. I really just wanted to be able to run a simple script, create the rom, and play! So I set out to make compiling just the base hack itself simple for me and everyone else!

Do you think HMA would work with a rom that's been patched with the Complete Fire Red Upgrade that was used to make Pokemon Unbound?

Definitely definitely look at doing your project as a decomp using pokefirered or The Complete Fire Red Upgrade.

The Battle engine is custom. Should use Gen VIII movesets though.

But the "Dray Hacks" From the ROM hack author Drayano (the author behind Storm Silver, Sacred Gold and others) seem to work with Pokélink absolutely fine. Unlike ROM hacks like Pokémon Unbound and Radical Red for example. Reason: Adding support for new games/ROM hacks and/or new main-series titles requires a lot of time and effort. (We're talking many months, full time - for example) I can go deeper into this if you want, but hopefully this explains enough for now :stuck_out_tongue: This is due to the fact that Drayano rom hacks changes aspects (such as story-line, IVs and EVs) things within the game - but doesn't change how the game stores data in memory when playing through the game! As opposed to how ROM hacks such as Radical Red change where the data for the game, is stored in memory during game-play. (If you want a deep-dive, these two Rom Hacks use a modification for Fire red called CFRU https://github.com/Skeli789/Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade which changes a lot in game)

I'm guessing you're talking about this romhack based on a decomp project? https://github.com/Skeli789/Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade

CFRU's AI and quality of life

There is also the CFRU (Unboud and Radical Red are made with it). It is C code that is injected into the fire red rom and edited with normal binary tools.
