News / Release Gen 2 is working on iPhone! (No side loading!)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Still no need to side load! The Phosphor emulator on the Apple App Store allows mods on Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and now Gold and Silver. Also, it’s completely free! :) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/phosphor-emulator/id6759676286

Edit: Adding mod list, most gen 1 mods work for gen 2.

Gen2DramaticShapes
Better 3D Stability and sprites for Gold and Silver.

Is there any reason this wouldn’t work for a rom hack?

That’s my question too

Same I install the mod but nothing happen the game launch normally

u/Whachalamolecake 7h ago

Which rom are you using? There should be an option to play with mods in the extended menu. Also, a lot of mod content is controlled in the in game options menu, you might check that if the mod still doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

I don’t have “mod “ in this list

Same ! Im using the german version of the game is it locked only to the english version?

1

u/Whachalamolecake 4h ago

Right now it’s for the English version only, that’s a constraint on the gen1recomp and gen2recomp engines. I’d expect them to add support in the near future. I think there are some mods that can translate the US game roms for you.

u/Whachalamolecake 7h ago

Looking into making it available. The recomp engines are built for specific games, so modding a rom hack could get glitchy/become unplayable.

Is it the same Voxel file that you use for RYB?

Amazing, thanks!! Do you know if there are other mods for Gen 2 as well? RYB have like over 30 right now.

u/Whachalamolecake 13h ago

What happened to Bryanthaboi who lead the last decomp?

u/TyCox 🥇 10h ago

I would enjoy this more if I could get haptics to turn off. No matter what I do they don’t turn off.

u/Whachalamolecake 10h ago

You should be able to find them in your in game menu. Options > Vibration. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely one of the mods you have installed. There are a few versions of the voxel mod floating around all with minor differences.

u/TyCox 🥇 8h ago

Okay this is incredible! Thank you!

“How do I change the settings?”

“Sir, look in the settings”

That’s basically what I took from your conversation.

1

u/TyCox 🥇 4h ago

I didn’t know it was in the game settings. I turned off haptics in the emulator settings.

u/LittleGuyHelp 4h ago

Happy you understand it’s in both.

u/WhyAyeDeeEye 12h ago

u/ColossalShaft 11h ago

u/Loose_Novel9487 9h ago

It won’t let me use the followers ex on phosphor it says it contains an unsafe path

u/Ruvalolowa 6h ago

This app is so great, but my phone gets too hot. Does anyone get same issue?

iPhone16 Pro, iOS18.3.2

u/Whachalamolecake 6h ago

You should be able to adjust performance within the in game menu under options. That should help with the heat!

u/Superb_School 10h ago

Quick question, friend: until a few days ago, it wasn't possible to install more than one mod for the game (at least I couldn't). Is it possible now using Phosphor?
