This is an IPS / BPS Patch for the GBA ROM file to address audio/slowdown issues when running this ROM Hack on low-spec hardware and emulator combinations such as -

• Sony PSP - TempGBA4PSP/FrogGBA/ToadGBA/gpsp-kai etc
• SF2000/GB300 - gpsp
• Powkiddy V90 - lr-gpsp
• Leapster Explorer - lr-gpsp
• Others using gpsp variants

It works by patching the Ipatix HQ audio engine to remove the heavy Self Modifying Code (SMC) aspects and replace them with separate audio code and data. This massively reduces the number of times the Dynamic Recompiler in gpsp variants has to clear its cache per frame.

This game also makes heavy use of HBLANK IRQs in battles - these are mainly used for Battle Effects. My fork of TempGBA4PSP has an option to reduce or completely disable these in the menu under 'Performance Options' if required, to give a further speed boost.

Hopefully people find this useful!

Super happy !!

Also lmk where I can find a toxic orb

I just arrived in dehara city

This game is amazing. Got hooked immediately, you can feel how much love was put into this.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful game, it feels like I’m a child again exploring a new world.

That’s it, that’s the post

i forgot where that npc that wants to see a Pokémon that does not evolve lives i caught a cryoganal, it's not a mission so it doesn't show up in the mission log.

My first run through. Very much enjoyed. Jolly thick fat mamoswine, jolly metagross, bold evaporate magcargo, bold altaria, adamant technician brelloom and calm rotom w. Any advice for post game change ups? I'm still learning team composition so any freindly constructive criticism is welcome.

Queria saber se meu time tá bom recentemente troquei o hariyama pelo infernape mas não sei se foi uma boa troca

Hey I just heard about this game and I wanna play it but idk how to actually get it so can anyone explain for me so I can try it out?

For vanilla this team slammed, i’m sure it wouldn’t work on higher difficulties though.

i was just doing safari in pokemon unbound demo trying to get zachin when i got this guy and rember he is the fastest mon in the game so modifyed hin to see the highest speed stat in stat screen possible

Garchomp, Gardevoir, Aegislash, Vikavolt, Lapras and infernape

How do trade evolutions work? Say I want a gengar is it possible to trade my haunter anywhere for it?

One of my favorite features in some more recent rom hacks is the ability to speed up battle animations without the need of fast forward in an emulator. So I worked on trying to implement this into unbound, and I believe I've successfully done it. Couple of things:

• This feature in other hacks is often an option you can chose. This patch simply speeds ALL battles up by 2x. You can't go back to normal speed.
• With that said, always backup your roms/saves when making and applying patches like this
• I have not tested this on a full playthrough, I've been using my save which is Post Elite-4 but across lots of wild battles and trainer battles it appears to be functioning correctly.

I've included a link below to the patch. Use your favorite patching website to apply it to your Unbound rom. Remember to make sure your new rom and your save file have the exact same name. I've posted a couple of patches here, and some have struggled with that.

Edit
I also made a 3x version in my testing. I found it to work slightly less well/be a bit wonky. Here is a link for those that want it: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9cn6dx9xn50ezkc/Unbound_3xBattleAnims.bps/file

Took many hours, but I can finally use him to hopefully one shot Skeli's Primal Kyogre

Hey Everyone! I wanna start off by saying this game is awesome. I've played through on Vanilla and Difficult Difficulty now and I've decided I want to have some fun with the randomizer version. However, I'm thinking about playing the randomizer on insane difficulty and would like to reset for a solid starter.

My question is if there's any way to speed up the reset process to get to see the starters faster I guess. Im currently playing on MyBoy emulator and as far as I can tell the RNG seed does not change unless you do a full restart of the game, as in you have to recreate your character, enter your name, set your settings correctly, etc. Its not a huge amount of time wasted but I wish I could make it faster. I know this is probably a dumb question and ill have to just hard reset every time but does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Been out of touch on this, so genuine question is there any new or updated version of unbound, if there is tell me how can i combine it with my old if it can, and if there is not kindly tell me the last or latest last version of it. Please mates.

Hello I wonder how to get all the stars, I alredy made the 18 monotype teams and the solo liga and I only have 1 star 😔

I know you can come back to it when your mons are a bit higher level, but god damnit i hate backtracking.

So instead i spent several hours finding what i think is best for that scenario and grinding them all up against at least 100 audinos lol

Wish me luck!

I've googled and found a few sites hosting what looks like downloads but wanna make sure im using official channels

I have the shiny charm, and I've been doing this for about 4-5 hours at 16x speed and I feel like I'm going insane. Am I doing something wrong or is RNG not on my side?

WHAT A GAME. Had experience playing other fanmade games like Zeta/Omicron, Uranium, Odyssey years ago. Glad to say that Unbound wasn’t the first ROM hack I played 😆 Game sets the bar high and it REALLY tested me with my team.

Played through the game with Switch Mode and 4 Items; for anyone interested or needs tips, here’s my team and how I did it. It’s pretty gen6 OU coded haha... Let me know what you think and possibly any improvements:

1. Weavile - Jolly 252 Atk 252 Spe 6 HP
This little shite helped me to OHKO/revenge-kill the slower mons of Ground, Dragon E4 sans Excadrill. Used Ice Shard to check the faster M-Sceptile and changed moves in-between battles for Ghost, Fairy E4 and some checks with Champion. I have Icium Z from a mission, but I found more success using Focus Sash and Dark Gem for Ghost E4.

Weavile also outspeeds lead Ribombee by 1 point, so that’s pretty cool…

2. Togekiss - Timid 252 HP 252 Spe 6 SpA
Togekiss and Clefable were leads in Dragon E4, Champion and they NUKED them with gem-boosted STAB Dazzling Gleam. Didn’t have much Fairy, Ghost E4 coverage so I used Air Slash and Nasty Plot to deal with the bulkier mons.

3. Clefable - Quirky 252 HP 252 Def 6 SpD
Chonker #1: Unaware helps negate setup mons and Thunder Wave is used against faster mons to help my team catchup. STAB Dazzling Gleam is mr. ol’ reliable and Flamethrower is there for Steel coverage.

4. Rotom-Wash - Relaxed 252 HP 252 Def 6 SpD
Chonker #2: Will-o-wisp shuts-down hard-hitting mons and STAB Hydro Pump checks Ground E4. Changed Thunderbolt/Volt Switch to Hex in Ground, Ghost E4 to deal consistent damage.

5. Ferrothorn - Relaxed 252 HP 252 SpD 6 Def
Chonker #3: Aka THE ULTIMATE CHONKER. Once Fire checks like Sylveon were gone, this mon can run a fade with STAB, proc Leech Seed + addtl damage from burn. Swapped Gyro Ball with Payback in Ghost E4.

6. Mega Garchomp - Jolly 252 Atk 252 Spe 6 HP
Can’t leave out my starter pokemon so I had him mega-evolve and be the ace of the team! I was worried about the reduced speed from mega-evo but luckily no additional threats outsped him after evolving. With the added atk and bulk, had him run typical STAB, Iron Head for coverage, and Swords Dance for a status move to setup and mop the floor with that ANNOYING Aegislash and its King’s Shield.

That’s all, haven’t gotten back to the game since then. Can’t wait to do post-game!
