How to play Modified Pokemon games on Mac

Let’s get this quick, what you need of course is a GBA Emulator for Mac, for starters we recommend using OpenEmu.

Clean Pokemon GBA ROM
You can find lots of this just by searching on Google. As what I’ve observed, most of these games are based on FireRed ROMs. What I mean the term “Clean” is that you haven’t used the ROM and didn’t use any cheat on it.

Download your Favorite Pokemon Game
Next will be a Pokemon ROM Hack. Download your chosen file and save it on your computer for patching.

Patch your IPS/UPS file to your GBA ROM
Finally, a tool called Multipatch is used to patch the IPS/UPS file.

For the complete instructions on the steps, I suggest watching the Youtube video How To Patch and Play Modified GBA ROM on Mac
