Download Pre-Patched Pokemon Emerald Cross GBA ROM

• Creator: Jaizu
• Version: v1.3.0
• Hack of: Emerald
• Updated: April 13, 2023

Pokemon Emerald Cross is a GBA ROM Hack by Jaizu Based on Pokemon Emerald. And it is now available to download. It was last updated on April 13, 2023.

Description

The intention of this hack is to be the definitive Emerald experience, adding many quality of life and gameplay conveniences to make the game more bearable to play in 2022.

This aims to be really close to the vanilla experience, so no modern features like PSS will be added. No extra story events or altered encounters will happen, and neither will be making getting shinnies easier.
