Pokémon FireRed too slow for you?
Speed it up to x2 / x3 / x4 on a real, unmodded Switch.
(Hold R for fast-forward, installed via ESP32 gift link, nothing on the console itself.)
Worth remembering while everyone is staring at that HD Peeko chase:
the FireRed/LeafGreen Switch app already knows how to read Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald saves.
It looks at the 4-letter cartridge code and picks the layout. All five Gen 3 games are in the table.
extract secret trainer ID + Pokémon IVs on any unmoded switch (FRLG here), all through mystery gift. can also write to the save file. no ACE needed.
You can trade any FRLG Pokemon, or trigger any event with a real, unmodded Nintendo Switch using your own computer at home.
No server. No GTS. Just a $20 USB WiFi stick talking to the Switch directly.
Here's how it works:
FireRed & LeafGreen on Switch Online use local wireless to trade, the same thing two consoles use when they're in the same room.
So the trick is simple: make a Linux PC or VM pretend to be the second Switch.
It works both ways:
- your PC hosts, the Switch joins
- the Switch hosts, your PC joins
Real trades, in the Trade Center, with the animation and everything. The Pokemon lands in your save. It also does Mystery Gift.
Your PC sends a real Wonder Card to the console, and the delivery man in the Pokemon Center hands you the gift. Event Pokemon at home.
What you need:
- A Switch or Switch 2 with FRLG (NOT modded)
- A TP-Link Archer T3U USB WiFi adapter, about €15-20 (link in comments)
- Any Linux machine or VM (Works with a VM on a Mac)
My setup is a MacBook M4. Ubuntu running in a VM (VMware Fusion), with the T3U passed through to the VM over USB. So you don't even need a separate PC. A laptop and a cheap dongle is enough.
Everything is open source. (Repo in the comments) Built on Tornadus original work, plus MercuryEnigma's Mystery Gift support.
