FR/LG LayeredFS ROM Replacement Guide
Hello everyone!
Long time lurker, first time poster here. After a night of messing around with the new FR/LG I was able to successfully load a ROM Hack in place of the default FR/LG games.
To anyone interested in doing so, the only limitation I have noticed so far is that RTC is not available (hacks like Pokemon Unknown need it for DNS), and possibly save block issues but I have otherwise not run into any problems so far!
You will still need to source your ROM, but using the following file structure will make it possible to play pretty much any Fire Red ROM hack (or Leaf Green by extension - Fire Red based hacks are playable on Leaf Green, and vice versa)
Fire Red
atmosphere/
└── contents/
└── 0100554023408000/
└── romfs/
└── Your patched ROM (Make sure to rename it to "FireRed_e.gba"!)
Leaf Green
atmosphere/
└── contents/
└── 010034AD02340000/
└── romfs/
└── Your patched ROM (Make sure to rename it to "LeafGreen_e.gba"!)
If all files are placed correctly, you should be able to launch the patched game to play the hack of your choice! Have fun!
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any lost save data. Please back up your saves beforehand. This has also only been tested on the English versions of both games, but should work for other languages so long as the correct titleid is given when setting up your files in the "/atmosphere/contents" directory
