Update Instructions

  1. On your old version, SAVE inside the Olivine PokeCenter, then close the game.
  2. Replace your old .gbc file with the new 2.5.9 .gbc file (Note: If you downloaded the ROM from here, you’ll have an equivalent .zip file instead)
  3. Don’t forget to make sure your .gbc and .sav file are named the same thing!
  4. After entering the overworld, walk down and exit the Olivine PokeCenter.
  5. Once you’re outside, press A on the “POKE” sign on the building.
    • If your save needs updating, you’ll be warped inside the building.
    • If you hear a “Ding” sound, everything’s good.
  6. You’re done!

Best Emulators for Playing Crystal Clear

  • The best PC emulator to use with Crystal Clear is BGB: http://bgb.bircd.org/ (effectively 1:1 with real consoles) Don’t use any variant of VBA, these all have frequent graphical errors.
  • For Linux, we suggest running BGB with Wine (https://www.winehq.org/)
  • For macOS, the SameBoy project (https://sameboy.github.io/) is recommended.
  • For Android users, PizzaBoy has been shown to be the best in terms of ease of use compared to accuracy. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.dbtecno.pizzaboy)
    • GBC.emu is also a good emulator, but it costs money
  • For iOS users, the best option without jailbreaking is Provenance (https://builds.io/apps/provenance/) This build costs money. There is a free version but you will have to continuously reinstall it. This build circumvents that.
  • For those playing using a GBA (not GBC) flashcart, make sure you enable Goomba mode when patching.
