How to Patch

To play Pokemon Emerald Crest, you will need to have a Game Boy Advance emulator installed on your device. We recommend using Mgba for Windows, Linux, and Mac, or My Boy! for Android devices.

Once you have downloaded the emulator, follow these steps to play Pokemon Emerald Crest:

PC

• Download the Pokemon Emerald Crest patch file from our releases page.

• Extract the downloaded file using a program such as WinRAR.

• Download an original Pokemon Emerald ROM, if you do not already have it.

• Go to RomPatcher.js.

• In the Rom section, select the original Pokemon Emerald ROM.

• In the Patch section, select the extracted Emerald Crest patch file.

• Click on Apply Patch and the process is complete ✅ Enjoy the game! 😀

The patch file should end with .bps or .ups after extraction. If it doesn’t, you may have missed a step. Also, after patching the game should end with .gba, if it ends with .txt, then just remove .txt by renaming the file.

Android/IOS

• Extract the file you downloaded

for Android use zArchiver to extract it (you can download it from the Play store) and for IOS you can use WinZip (you can download it from the App store)
