So, I heard of the gen 3 hacking scene and wanna try some hacks. Where do I download them and what are the good ones?
PokéCommunity has a decent romhack community, and has been for a while (was kind of the power suit of the site during the late 00s and good part of the 10s). Now, I wouldn’t know which romhacks are good because I haven’t followed the scene for a while, but there have been some big names going around for a while such as Liquid Crystal and Emerald 386 for G3 hacks, as well as a PMD: Gates demake on top of PMD: Explorers.
Seems to be the most complete and sortable/filterable list I have ever been able to find.
A top tier hack gotta be Unbound.
I heard that’s a good one, where do I find it?
You have to download the original ROM and a patch file that the hack creator provide. Creators generally won’t provide you with the patched ROM though. I think it’s called IPS patching. You can patch it online by googling ‘IPS patcher online’. Just download the original Pokemon Fire Red ROM and the rom hack patch file. Then upload to the online patcher site. You will get the patched ROM you can play.
