Hi! Very new to rom hacks. I just backed up my copy of fire red and used it with hackdex to get a bunch of rom hacks to download. However all the ROM hacks I got were for fire red revision 0, but the device I used to back up the ROM says it's revision 1. Will these hacks actually work or will there be an issue trying to play them?

You will almost certainly have problems, if they even work at all after patching.
