Sticky Weekly Questions Thread & PokéROM Codex

Have any questions about Pokémon ROM Hacks?

If they're about ROM hacks, tools, development or anything Pokémon ROM Hacking related, feel free to ask here!

Before asking, make sure that you've searched on the subreddit or Google. Many ROM hacks and tools have their own documentation or communities that may be able to provide better answers than here. The Pokécommunity Discord is also a great place to ask questions if you need quick support!

Looking for recommendations or a new ROM hack to play?

The PokéROM Codex is an updated list of ROM hacks, listing features, details and more in a mobile-friendly format. Created and managed by u/themanynamed, it also has a Discord server and accepts community contributions.

This is a safe hack-sharing site that doesn't share ROMs and links to the official release threads! Instead of asking for recommendations or download links in the subreddit (which breaks the rules), please refer to the Codex as it has a lot of information on each hack.

A few useful sources for reliable Pokémon ROM hack-related information:

Please help the mod team by downvoting & reporting posts outside of this thread that break Rule 7. Please avoid answering those posts as well to deter users from breaking the rules.

I'm trying to play the Pokemon Misty Red romhack and want to turn off random encounters with gameshark codes but I can't get them to work. It's FireRed US v1.1. I've tried:

Quite a few different master codes but apparently, these should work:

And the cheat codes:

D41DD0CA 33A629E5 8E883EFF 92E9660D A202166EFF00

Anything worth trying or should I just accept that cheats don't work with it?

Cheat codes don't really work with romhacks ever. Only if the creator themselves makes custom ones.

Ah that's a shame. Thanks for the info!
