I haven't linked anything illegal in this thread, well as far as I'm aware I haven't. :hmm:

Many of you would of played Pokémon Yellow in the past, if you haven't go play it.

I loved Pokémon Yellow so I was gutted when Game Freak didn't make a remake of it like they did with Red and Blue (FireRed, LeafGreen)

I was just browsing Poké Community and I came across a fanmade hack of FireRed that transforms it into a new upgraded version of Pokémon Yellow :o

If you are interested in using this (it's still in the beta stages) you will need to head over to the Poké Community boards
Sign up for an account, download the link (it's an ips file).

Now download a clean ROM (.gba) of Pokémon FireRed (U).

Now you need to rename both files the same: e.g: Pokemon Yellow.gba

__________________________________________Pokemon Yellow.ips

Place them both in the same folder.

Now download Lunar IPS (LIPS), this is to apply the .ips patch to the .gba ROM.

Open up LIPS press on 'Apply IPS patch' find the .ips file in your folder and click ok.

Now it will ask you for the ROM, do the same thing again but with the .gba file.

You should get a screen saying 'Succesfully patched'

Now you can go play it on your GBA emulator, PSP, iPod touch/iPhone (like me) or put it onto your GBA flash cart.

I wrote this so if you have any questions just ask. :)

Some known issues with the patch:

-Make sure you have at least 2 pokemon when you are in double battles.
-When you are on the first floor of Ash's house, it shows the surfing sprite instead of his walking sprite. Doesn't affect rest of game from what I have played.
-This game is meant for you to play as the male hero, as the female sprite is having flickering issues. I suggest you just play as Ash. I'll try to fix this though.
-The clouds in Cerulean go through the grass and such.
-Your rival in Cerulean has an Eevee with sleep powder.
Here's a screenshot of one of the glitches taken with my iPod:
