recently i been playing this awesome fire red hack by LocksmithArmy http://ultravioletversion.yolasite.com/

basically This hack has been altered in many ways to make the game more enjoyable, but it still has the same general design and story as the original Nintendo release. Among many other improvements, it has been made so that 1 player with 1 gamesave can play through the entire game and actually catch all of the Pokemon from the 1st 2nd generations in the 1.21 up date he added a new map called 4-Points Isle, houses ALL gen 3 pokemon and if you look you have a bit more chance run in it a shiny pokemon and there no trade evolutions

and If you talk to Professor Oak without choosing any of his 3 Pokemon, he realizes you do not want his hand me downs, and offers to let you catch your first Pokemon by your self. He will take you to one of his facilities and let you throw your fill of Safari Balls at some rare Pokemon until one is finally your Partner. Be sure to catch a good one, you will never be able to go back to that area again. If you choose this option, while you are gone, your impatient Rival picks Charmander as his partner but if you see a shiny pokemon in his facilities don't not catch it will turn in to a bad egg

example Golem - Evolve Graveler at Lv. 45 and Steelix - Evolve Onix at Lv. 35

and you can use moon and sun stones to get Espeon - Evolve Eevee with a Sun Stone Umbreon - Evolve Eevee with a Moon Stone beacues fire red doesn't have a clock the only way to get them was trade

but if your a pokemon fan or not i really recommend this rom hack

you will need a Lunar IPS and pokemon fire red rom {google is your friend} and a Visual Boy Advance Emulator :)

I don't see any mention on his site of the little "quirk" that Pokemon Fire Red has...I don't know if it's an intentional sort of copy protection or what, but once you get past the Elite Four, eventually you'll run into a "batter has run dry" issue and you'll be unable to play the game anymore.

Obviously not an issue with the real cart, but I guess it's a huge problem with people having bootleg copies they got from eBay, and here it should be an issue with the ROM version that you have to use.

The battery runs dry because of an old cartridge, it has nothing to do with copyright protection. The old cartridges didn't have any kind of copyright protection back then, recently they've added a way you can check whether your game is real using a DSi.

The only way known to fix that error is to remove the internal battery and replace it with a new one.

Actually, they've had copy protection (not copyright) as far back as Earthbound for the NES, maybe further. Most of the NES Classic games for the GBA also had copy protection, and a lot of games about halfway through the DS's life had copy protection (some of which still hasn't been cracked).

Like I said, this problem mostly happens with bootleg carts (which are much more common with Pokemon than with any other game out there) and ROMs (whether via an emulator or an actual flash cart like I use), so changing the battery doesn't really apply.

There's sites out there that go into more detail about the issue, but I didn't feel like searching for it...my quick search just came up with results for Ruby/Sapphire.

Great. Not only do I need to download it, but I have to get my dad's permission to install the VBA. That's great.

I did what it told me to do, but when I start it up on my VBA 1.80 something it only goes far enough to load a white screen after
loading the battery. What do I do?

So far I did that, and nothing happened after clicking open>file>VBA(file)>fire_red.gba

What else do I have to do to make it work?
