In order to play this game, you must first download the patch file below as well as the original Pokemon game: Pokemon Fire Red US 1.0. You must then apply the patch onto the Pokemon rom using a patching software such as Lunar IPS. If you've never done this before don't worry, this process is very easy and takes less than a minute. Use the following steps to help
- Step 1. Download Yu-Gi-Oh Fire Red version 1.0 (it must be 1.0, not 1.1)
- Step 2. Downloand Yu-Gi-Oh POKeDUEL patch file below
- Step 3. Download Lunar IPS
- Step 4. Open Lunar IPS
- Step 5. Click Apply IPS Patch
- Step 6. Select Yu-Gi-Oh POKeDUEL IPS you downloaded from step 2
- Step 7. Select the Fire Red ROM from step 1. If you follow these steps, the fire red ROM will turn into Yu-Gi-Oh POKeDUEL
If you are still confused, please watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L90jaEXeldQ&ab_channel=EposVox
If you want to update an existing game to a newer version, you don't have to restart. Apply the patch to a brand new Fire Red 1.0 file and then move your existing .sav file to the location of the new ROM (Make sure they have the same name). NEVER apply more than 1 patch to a ROM.
Important: Highly recommended you DO NOT use gameshark cheats. It's highly likely to corrupt your save file. Rare Candy cheats will almost always corrupt your savefile. If you do use cheats, create a backup of both the ROM and the savefile
