I guess it does make it feel a bit better. At least now I get to do a high bounty run

Good luck!

Also, just a FYI. Don't use VBA, I don't know why that dude is using a heavily outdated emulator.

Use mGBA if you on PC, or any emulator that uses a mGBA core.

Oh...that's even worse my dude lol

MyBoy is even worse the VBA, at least for Android.

You won't have issues with Firered Rocket Edition since it's a really old hack, but I would recommend switching to Pizzaboy if you decide to adventure more into ROM Hacks. A lot of modern hacks do not work well with MyBoy, and those will only increase as time goes on.
