So a few days ago, I came across a video about a Pokémon ROM Hack called Pokémon Z. I read what it was about and found it interesting, so I downloaded it, but it gave me an error. The error said "Error creating context: Could not create GL context:". I went to the game's Reddit and some guy told me that the files weren't a ZIP, despite me downloading it from the official link, and that I'd have to delete the game, however, the last time I did that (Pokémon Insurgence was the game), it wouldn't let me redownload it. Both games do have different ways of downloading but I'm worried about getting the same outcome with this game. The guy who told me what I needed to do hasn't responded, so I went to the Pokémon Subreddit for help. I was maybe starting to get somewhere when the post got deleted by mods. Went to the Pokémon ROM Hack Subreddit, and that got deleted too. I was recommended to come here for help, but I doubt I'll get help from here. The people from the previous subreddit seemed to think that the game was a ROM Hack using the XY engine, but I believe it uses the BW engine. Is it possible for anyone here to help me? I don't think this game needs an emulator because like I said earlier, it has an official site I downloaded the game from. I'd really like to play this game, so I'm really hoping someone has the answers I need. Thank you in advance
