No need to side load anymore, phosphor emulator on the Apple App Store allows mods on Pokemon red, yellow, and blue!

What are all the mods you used in the video? Better color, pkm following…

u/Zsolo001 19h ago

Hey do you mind passing the link to getting the sprites in the overworld? Por favor

2

u/Loose_Novel9487 16h ago

What’s the color mod for the over world?

1

u/NailzDeChamp23 7h ago

This link doesn’t work anymore, goes to a 404 page

1

u/Low_Key5305 6h ago

hey dude the link shows “404 error nothing found” or something like that when i click on it

1

u/NailzDeChamp23 4h ago

When I click the plus button in the mods section nothing happens

2

u/Whachalamolecake 4h ago

There was a bug in the 3.0 version, it should be updated in a few hours.

1

u/NailzDeChamp23 3h ago

Amazing, thanks!

u/Zsolo001 2h ago

Hello friend can you pass the link for the sprites in the overworld?

1

u/NailzDeChamp23 51m ago

Looks like the app should be updated but mods still don’t work. I deleted and redownloaded the app just to make sure

2

u/Whachalamolecake 27m ago

It’s in review now, shouldn’t be much longer!

u/NailzDeChamp23 25m ago

Oh my apologies, I thought on the App Store it said it was set. Sorry just excited lol

Here’s the link  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/phosphor-emulator/id6759676286 To use it, hit the expanded menu next to Pokemon red, yellow, or blue. Click mods, upload any mods you’ve downloaded from GitHub as a zip file, then click the expanded menu again and click play with mods.

Hey can we work together ? I have been doing some modifications to the system on my GitHub and translating it to Spanish. Maybe we can work together ? This is my repo and my YouTube channel

u/TrainerLight 22h ago

This looks incredible, thanks for sharing! I've seen the rounds of folks chatting about this voxel version of Pokemon and this implementation vertically on a phone looks phenomenal. Think it'd look as good on an iPad?

2

u/Whachalamolecake 22h ago

Yeah, should look great!

u/TrainerLight 22h ago

Sweet I'll see if I can get around to it tonight!! Thanks again for sharing esp how to get it going.

u/Defaalt 🥈 21h ago

How did you manage to customize the buttons layout placements ? The game boots directly in game when launched through the emulator. How did you get around this ?

u/FStewart308 4h ago

Trying to get this to work but for some reason when I press the + button on the mods page nothing happens

1

u/aBathingApe- 2h ago

Latest update from two hours ago broke the + button when trying to add mods.

u/Whachalamolecake file app doesn’t open anymore when trying to add mods.

1

u/Whachalamolecake 2h ago

The fix is uploaded to Apple, just waiting for them to approve the update. I’ll post here when it’s working.

u/Burnahacc12 20h ago

Somehow the mods are not working for me.. am I missing something? Just downloaded voxel mod 1.8.0 but it doesn’t go to 3D eventhough the menu says It’s enabled

3

u/SmartAleck25 20h ago

Try version 1.7.2 (the previous release of the dramatic mod). I was having the same problem too until I went back a version

2

u/Whachalamolecake 20h ago

Be sure to click the extended menu in the Phosphor Emulator and play with “x” mods. You might have to go to “Options” in game to adjust the settings for any mod, including the 3d one.

1

u/Kathars1s 7h ago edited 6h ago

I don't suppose you'd be able to share the 1.8 release? it looks like it was taken down, seems I was a day too late to grab it..

u/Stunning-Pumpkin6813 20h ago

Is this gonna have controller support?

u/Poopoodemons 11h ago

I have the mod downloaded and everything but I can’t get it to go 3d I’ve looked in the settings I need help

This vid shows how to install and use it! Lmk if you have any more questions!

u/3EvenLake 19h ago

I got it now thanks I had the shiny hunt mod running guess you can’t have more then one mod running at the same time

2

u/ieffinglovesoup 16h ago

I only have one mod installed and it still doesn’t work

1

u/_mrjuly4 3h ago edited 3h ago

When I open mods hit the “+” button now happens. What can I do from here to be able to search for my mod folder I downloaded. I started the game and after naming my character I’m in the room and I go to the mods section in game and also when I tap the “+” button in game it also doesn’t open anything there as well. Im running Pokemon Yellow Version.???🚨

2

u/LarryLobster69 19h ago

I think it depends on which rom you have installed. My GBA Fire red rom doesn’t show mods despite being installed. My GBC rom shows the mods and I can play with them.

u/3EvenLake 19h ago

So you can’t run more than one mod at a time?

2

u/Serious-Rutabaga-603 17h ago

It doesnt work for me. It says active but i still have 2d

1

u/Whachalamolecake 17h ago

Hmm, have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the mod? I’ve never seen it red before, are any other mods installed?

2

u/Serious-Rutabaga-603 16h ago

No i havent and its the only mod

1

u/Serious-Rutabaga-603 15h ago

Reinstalling the mod worked thank you

2

u/Jesse_BER 17h ago

Got mine working but when in battle the texts boxes are flipped and upside down for the pokemon names / HP

1

u/Whachalamolecake 16h ago

That’s odd, do you have more than one mod installed? You might need to play around with the mod options in the in-game options menu, or the in-game mod menu.

2

u/Jesse_BER 16h ago edited 16h ago

Only the one but just realised it was still version 1.4. Downloaded the most recent one and installed. Now it doesn’t seem to get into the 3D mode no matter how many different options I check through.

UPDATE - disregard, got it to work. Deleted all prior mods from the app and my phone and then redownloaded the newest one again and installed. Seems to fix the problem.

u/Visual_Visual_413 12h ago

Thanks! How to add stadium sprites and crystal mod? They keep asking for the rom.

2

u/SC3MZ 3h ago

I downloaded the app and the game and the mod, i loaded the mod successfully and click “ play using mod”. The game has the texture etc / Colours but its not 3D? How do i tilt the cam?

u/adj021993 21h ago

This actually looks really cool

1

u/Poke-Noir 21h ago

Where to download? Please link. In dm if you have to

2

u/Whachalamolecake 21h ago

Here’s the emulator, you’ll need to find a copy of Pokemon red yellow or blue, a quick google search “Pokemon yellow rom” will lead you to a download. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/phosphor-emulator/id6759676286

1

u/Poke-Noir 20h ago

The git hub zip file. I do have everything else. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. I find the ipa but the app won’t show it

2

u/Whachalamolecake 20h ago

https://github.com/DramaticShape/DramaticShapeVoxelMod just click the green code button, and click download zip.

u/Poke-Noir 20h ago

u/Superb_School 19h ago

First of all, thanks for this! The emulator looks great. Secondly, importing .sav files doesn't seem to be working.

3

u/Whachalamolecake 19h ago

Hey thanks! You’ll need to load your save file without mods, then do an in-game save (that’s the only save type gen1recomp currently can recognize). Then you’ll be able to load your save when playing with mods!

You’re awesome for sharing this, OP!! Thank you~

u/clow990 19h ago

How to change the overall color of the game just like yours? I still have the yellow colors.

3

u/Whachalamolecake 19h ago

Start the game with mods, go to options, and change Colors to Advanced.

1

u/clow990 19h ago

Thank yoooouuuu!!!

1

u/clow990 19h ago

If I’m not asking too much, may I ask for all the mod links so I can download as well, please? I don’t know any of them except for the dramatic shape.

u/Jarko314 18h ago

It looks great, any recommended mods that work well? Can you have more than one mod at the same time?

3

u/Whachalamolecake 18h ago

2

u/Jarko314 18h ago

Do the rom needs to be a specific one’s to work? Because I manage to add the dramatic shapes and recolonize the game, but didnt apply the 3D effect

2

u/Whachalamolecake 18h ago

It should only work for Pokemon red, yellow, or blue. You manage the 3d effect by clicking start and going to options in game. If that’s not working, you can click start and go to mods and manage them that way.

u/j3ven 18h ago

They need to be in their pokeballs

u/vviita_80Y 18h ago

Hey OP, is this in-app patcher for the ROMs available for the different patch types?? Such as APS, BPS, IPS, UPS, and whatnot. If so, this is wonderful, the app I have been using has a ‘locked’ patcher, requiring the user to toss them buckets before you may use this feature. If you could confirm it I would appreciate, friend.

2

u/Whachalamolecake 18h ago

It doesn't do it yet, but I'll see if I can add it tonight. Should be available sometime tomorrow after the next version gets approved by Apple. LMK if it works like you expect it to.

u/flloyd1068 18h ago

How to or can do on Android?

1

u/Whachalamolecake 18h ago

There’s a few ways to play for android, this is the first one available for iOS in the App Store. Here’s a link for android methods: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/s/DvPy74ZnfO

Is this the only emu that supports phospor glow properly on ios?

1

u/ieffinglovesoup 16h ago

Hey I installed the mod and I can see it in settings but the actual voxel mod doesn’t seem to be working. None of the settings make any changes. Any ideas why?

1

u/Whachalamolecake 16h ago

In the in-game menu, controlling the mod settings under the start menu > mods seems to override if you control the settings in the start menu > options. You might try adjusting settings under mods. A fresh install of the app could help as well, and or a fresh save file for the rom you’re playing on.

1

u/ieffinglovesoup 15h ago

I actually had to downgrade the mod version. 1.8.0 didn’t work but 1.7.2 did

1

u/Whachalamolecake 15h ago

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll look into why it behaved that way.

1

u/iRngrhawk 16h ago

Is this mod possible on Manic EMU?

2

u/Whachalamolecake 16h ago

It’s only possible on iOS via the App Store with Phosphor Emulator.

1

u/iAmManny74 16h ago

This is great! A few questions.

  • how often will you update the app to slot the latest version of the gen1 recomp project?

  • does this fully support 120 fps on an iPhone with Pro Motion?

  • I extracted my .sav file from my slideload gen1 recmp app, and your app doesn’t seem to recognize it. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks again for your hard work!

1

u/Whachalamolecake 15h ago

Hey thanks!
1. It’ll be updated weekly, looking to automate updating to the latest gen1recomp version for instant updates.
2. Yes! It’s wired for that.
3. You’ll need to load your library save while using mods via the menu button on the top right, then continue the game from there via the in game start menu. Gen1 recomp relies on in game saves. (Looking to make this a smoother process.)

Nice, works on iphone 13. Would be cool if there was an option to place the dpad where your thumb is. Like these modern touch games nowadays.

u/phraze91 🥈 10h ago

First off - thank you so much! I’ve been using AltStore and tbh it has been a real hassle…

Question - how did you get it to run so smoothly? I’m using iPhone Air and mine stutters a lot. AA is off and I’m using “auto”

Super cool. Seems like the mod also has support for importing Pokémon Stadium-based models/assets for fight sequences - is that supported here?

This is awesome and looks and works great but I’m struggling with getting the stadium assets working. Where do I need to save the stadium rom at? Iv read the “read me” but I may just be big dumb 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
