What Version Of Pokémon FireRed Are You Playing?
Before even going into cheats, you must know your ROM version.
Version 1.0 vs. 1.1
The majority of cheats are only compatible with FireRed Version 1.0.
How To Check:
- Open your ROM in any emulator
- Look at the file name (if it reads (V1.0) or simply Pokémon FireRed, you’re safe)
- If your ROM is labeled (V1.1), don’t expect cheat support
Cheat Use Warning
Using rumors or cheats in FireRed can:
- Crash your game
- Pause gameplay in cutscenes
- Corrupt your saved file
- Make Pokémon unresponsive or glitched
ALWAYS:
- Make a save state prior to using cheats
- Deactivate cheats prior to saving the game normally
- Utilize cheats individually to prevent conflict
