Game Information

Pokemon Glazed
Author: Redriders180
Hotfix: TrainerX493
Game base: Pokemon Emerald
Language: English
Hotfix Source: Link
Cheats: Click here
Features: (Overall summary of changes from 7b)
- Animations for Pokรฉmon are no longer disabled and is working for all Pokรฉmon. (Sprites by MrDollSteak Sprite Resource)
- By editing EVโs and slightly levels, the areas of the first four Gyms are easier, Post 8th Gym is a bit harder, and Post 16th Gym is a good bit harder (Smother difficulty curve overall).
- Pokรฉmon stats, moves learnset (mostly TMs and Tutors anyway), move power, items, and more are updated to match Gen7 from Gen6.
- Steel no longer resist Dark and Ghost.
- Opponent trainers now properly recognize Fairy type.
- Icons for Physical/Special/Status moves (physical/special split already existed).
- Mega Pokรฉmon now can actually learn moves, and can change back by using the Mega Stone again (It still acts like normal evolution though).
- Cameronโs Dojo is now less of a grind and wonโt over level your team using it.
- Scarfed Pikachu is a lot stronger (but still reasonable, just enough to not be terrible).
- Most gift and trade Pokรฉmon now hold items, and many wild Pokรฉmon now have held items included in later games.
- EV capped at 252.
- Stats now show color based on Nature.
- Mew/Arceus (aka Deoxys) from outside of the event now obeys.
- Default options when starting a new game will have the text speed set to โFastโ, sound setting set to โStereoโ, and PC boxes will now use all 12 wallpapers when starting a new save instead of repeating the first 4.
- Maps had 99% of errors fixed, so no more invisible walls or tables you can walk through.
- Mega Stone X now has an icon.
- A bunch of Pokรฉdex stuff fixed.
- Lots of Bug fixes.
- Overall lots of quality improvements.
Features
- Choose from five starters instead of three!
- Travel across the regions of Tunod, Johto, and Rankor
- Dream World Pokemon
- Pokemon from the Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos regions
- Travel in the Pokemon World and the Real World
- Capture all five starters
- Rematches with trainers, as well as all Gym Leaders
- All legendaries from Kanto to Sinnoh, as well as eight from Unova
- New out-of-battle effects
- Physical/Special Split โ Moves do Physical or Special damage depending on the move, not the type!
Hotfix Update Information
Notes for people looking to update:
- Many uncommon/low power moves were replaced, so any Pokรฉmon with these moves will have them be changed.
- The player can go to the town with the 3rd gym leader for the move tutor if you need. (Example: any Pokรฉmon that knew Bubble will now have Judgment.)
- The Pokรฉdex order was changed, so any progress made will be shuffled around. For example, if Mew was caught, itโll have set that you have caught the #151 Pokรฉmon.
- Mew is now #164, and Omanyte is instead #151, so itโll show Omanyte as caught instead.
- Outside of a 100% dex completion, this can largely be ignored.
- Finally, Riolu, Shinx, Luxio, Pikachu, and to a lesser extent, several others had their stats buffed, which wonโt reflect until the next time they level-up.

NOTE: PATCHING IS REQUIRED TO PLAY THIS GAME!
We donโt share pre-patched rom hacks and roms โ sharing these files is considered piracy, and itโs illegal!
Note from TrainerX493 (hotfix author): 7b saves, and all other 8.X saves are compatible with version 8.7.0, just replace the original ROM and make sure it uses the same name. Use NPS patcher or https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ with a clean Emerald.gba (Trashman) rom to use this patch (Get these yourself, itโs not hard to find if you use Google, with the patch itself at the bottom of this post).
mGBA will crash if the audio driver is set to โQt Multimediaโ. Make sure this is set to โSDLโ instead (this applies to older versions, including 7b).
Hello.
I have a report/bug to talk about.
I have been trying 8.6.3, 9.0 beta and the unofficial 9.1.0. but no matter what, all Pokรฉmon in my party are having weird symbols (see enclosed imgur screenshot). That doesnโt matter, if I use a nickname, or Iโll let it stay as the original name. I am using mGBA 0.11-9032-d8bad14b4 (which is the newest version). Are you aware of this happens? If you are, do you have a fix for that? If you do, what is it?
Furthermore, I can not get the MasterBall cheat to work. I have been trying with your cheats, a cheat Iโve found in the comment, Emerald cheats from supercheats.com, and basically everything. But why do I not get the MasterBalls?
Screenshot of the names:

Hello Annette, thank you for reporting this bug in the game. Hopefully it will be fixed in a future update. However, the game hasnโt been updated for a long time, so weโre not sure when that might happen.
When is the fixed version of Hotfix?
Hey Nayki, I never heard of another version of it. Thatโs the latest version of the game so far.
How to patch?
Hi there. Hereโs a guide we created to teach you patching. See How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack.
I was curious how to actually activate the mega evolutions. Ive just got to the point where you get the ring and stones but it doesnโt explain what to do with them. I figured giving them to hold but since itโs permanent I tried pressing โUSEโ and every PKMN i have said โNo Useโ. Please if you see this and know the reason, id appreciate the help.
Tunod league flight permanently grayed out, rival stuck at the league entrance? Weird.
Is Talonflame not available through cheats?
We donโt have Talonflame on our Glazed cheats, sorry.
Hello will this work on a 3DS?
Hello Gubbaba, to be honest, Iโm not entirely sure. The 3DS is primarily designed for 3DS games unless it has been modded to run GBA games. I recommend playing Pokemon Glazed and other ROM hacks on a mobile device or computer instead. There are plenty of emulators available, let me know if you need recommendations on the best one for your setup!
It actually runs! I just did on my 3ds using CIA files but I need custom software
Thatโs fantastic! I appreciate the information. While we still lack details on how to play these games on an actual 3DS console, itโs reassuring to know that GBA games are compatible with custom software.
The rom doesnโt open in my emulator, any fixes?
Hey German, this is not a ROM download. We donโt share such file here. After downloading the patch file, you have to patch it to its base rom which Emerald. See our guide here on How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack.
For the love of god, never EVER buy this in cartridge form. The number of game breaking bugs that just brick your save file is unbelievably high. You basically HAVE to play it on an emulator, also, NEVER use the in game save function until youโve beaten the 3rd gym. If you do, story sequences reset, and your save is bricked. Also, if you find a battle tower esq island after beating Leif, LEAVE. LEAVE IMMEDIATLY. attempting the challenge you have access to at that point (after the 4th gym) will brick your save.
Thank you for your input, Ivy. Yes, I donโt recommend buying the cartridge form of any ROM hacks. Downloading them is free, and when paired with good emulators, you can enjoy the game without any issues.
Is hotfix version still unavailable?
I tried contacting the author of the hotfix version, but I didnโt receive any response yet. I think I have the file saved on my computer and perhaps will share it here soon.
Uh, apparently the hotfix version is unavailable?
Hello Alex, I appreciate the heads up. Iโll contact TrainerX493 about this issue and will keep you posted as soon as I hear back.
The ROM version says its 8.6.3 but in the patched ROM it says its in 8.6.2 whyโs that?
hotfix not working
The new features didnโt list itโs going to change the nature adamant to adament :) [or at least it what on my rioluโs nature โadamentโ]
Thanks for this wonderful update you created, I am touched truly, I hope you people achieve great things in life even if I ironically didnโt, but I hope you do.
Note to self: Playing version (Unofficial 9.1.0)
Iโve come to a roadblock in the move relearner house where thereโs an invisible wall preventing me from exiting the house and I am stuck without anything to fix this. My save file seems to have been corrupted and resetting the game doesnโt get rid of this invisible wall bug. I do not wanna restart so many hours so, If there isnโt any fix to this โinvisible wallโ Iโm giving up this whole long casual run.
I like the gameโบ๏ธ
Glad you like it Jojo. The game is so interesting, and when paired it with Pokemon Glazed cheats the game become even more fun.
WHY DOESNโT THE GENERAL STORE IN CHOCCO TOWN SELL ANTIDOTES?! FIX THAT! That darn swamp poisons my Pokรฉmon as soon as I step on the ivy!
Hello, I want to know which one should I download? The (8.6.3) or the (HotFix 9.1.0)? I want to play the one that is the lastest, thank you :)
Everytime I try to open the game it asks if its in the correct format and I checked the audio driver and its the right one
Hi, after Iโve patched the game my MyBoy App froze HAHA
How many mega evolution are there in the latest version
Is this rom hack for the GBA? For some reason, when I try to open it, it tells me that the file is unrecognized.
Glazed is a GBA rom hack, but this is a .ups patch file download. We do not distribute GBA roms here. See this guide on how to patch ups rom hack https://www.pokemoncoders.com/apply-ips-ups-patch-play-rom-hack/
Ah, did my comment get removed?
No, it wasnโt removed. But only held pending for my approval. In fact, sometimes it takes me a few days to check your comment as Iโm handling hundreds of these comments per week. So, I just answered your comment, please check it thanks.
Hello can check my question and answer, please? :D
Is this a fully complete storyline? Itโs been a really long time since I played this game and I seem to remember the storyline was incomplete.
Hi Jared, the hotfix version is the gameโs most recent version. Though comes from another author, itโs a great version of Glazed to play.
Yoo, is that the latest version? Just looking for the newest release and last time I downloaded wrong one and ended up re-playing the whole game haha
Cheers
Yes Pete, the hotfix in this download is already the latest version. We had a conversation with the author regarding this new release.
How do I apply the hotfix?
Simply download it and patch it.
Wait, so I have to do it twice? Like patch the ordinary emerald game with 8.6.3 and then after that I patch it again with hotfix 9.1.0?
P.S. Sorry, I never got notified I got a reply so I kind of forgotten about this hehe ^ ^II
Hi there Sai. No, you donโt have to patch it twice. That Hotfix is another version from another author inspired by the original Glazed game. 8.6.3 is the older version from the original Glazed author (Redriders180), while the hotfix 9.0 is from TrainerX493. You can choose either from those versions.
what emulator is recommended for this?
I use My boy for Android and it works excellent.
Is there exp share to all party?? ๐ค
How do I make Romโs work on I phone? I have an emulator and zipped files, but every one says choose gba file
First off, you need to patch the game to a base rom. Donโt worry, we created a detailed patching guide to help you through, read here https://www.pokemoncoders.com/apply-ips-ups-patch-play-rom-hack/.
Hi there, I cant seem to patch the file (downloaded a 7B ROM). Any idea what this might be due to?
It says Patch format not supported
Whatโs the difference between 8.6.3 and b8.7?
I tried the patch and when I open the file with my gba emulator it just freezes on a white screen. Used the website listed to apply patch and everything worked up until I tried to play. 10/10 does not work and 10/10 do not recommend
Hi David, white screen problems usually happen when your base rom version is incorrect. Maybe you have the v1.1 emerald version, but the game requires V1.0. Try looking for the v1.0, which most rom hacks require. Hope this helps.
Is this working on android? I tried several times but it says โpatch is not compatible with romโ or whatever i even download a lot of emeral version but none of it worksโฆ Btw i am using unipatch from playstore
Plsssโฆ Helpโฆ.
Use V1.0 rom version when patching. I am honestly not familiar with that patcher app but we have a guide created that has been proving working to us. See How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack via JS Patcher.
Is there a sir where we can download a reliable emerald rom?
Sorry bro, but we donโt share information about roms.
The cap is unmatched
I am triyng to patch the game(i play on my phone), and it keeps turning into a txt and i cant play. Can someone help?
To make newest patch 8.6.3 to work. Download pokemon emerald original rom. Download unipatcher from play store then patch glazed 8.6.3 directly to the original unmolested pokemon emerald. Ik this is old comment but for new player this is what I did to make it work.
is there anyone who has a pre-patched gba rom file? i dont know what im doing all help is appreciated
it seems that the rom would not patch even though I had the correct rom, patch, and I use the visual boy advance. but I got it to work somehow and I have no issues so far what so ever. I love it so far.
Hey,i downloaded this but when i tried to open the game an error popped up saying the file type was unsupported and another saying that there was no image on the zip file. I use the visual boy advance emulator and im very new to hacked roms. Any tip?
Aside from both of these files which you need- you need to google the Blazed GBA file. Open in UPS patcher and patch Beta 7b to the GBA file then patch 8.6.3 to the GBA file after. Once this is done you can open in Visual Boy advanced or whatever program you use.
hello today i donwload pokemon romhack pokemon tetha emerald and pokemon glazed, and i tried patching the emerald base rom with nups i download from this site, but i got failed notification says the patch doesnt match the file. but i sure use pokemon emerald as base game. i tried download another emerald rom but the results is the same as the previous effort. please the enlightment
Maybe you need a V1.0 emerald rom for the patching to succeed? Some rom hacks requires specific base rom version. You can also check our patching guide How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack
If you are playing with visual boy advanced change the save type to flash in the settings
heyโฆbruh i canโt pay it
i tried to download several tyms btโฆ.
I played up to the first gym in the first region (Took my time and talked to everyone I saw and it took 3 hours). But when I went to fight all the trainers in the gym, the first guy has an Electrike that uses charge and freezes the game. The yellow charge balls just float around infinitely. Iโm just going to skip him, but if I run into another pokemon using charge Iโm afraid it might crash again.
ALSO the main reason Iโm reporting this is because the first time it happened, for some reason it froze and when I restarted the cartage the save was missing and I had to start all over again. And yes, I know I saved MANY times during the game because I remember the last one before the first crash was at the scarf pikachu because I thought I could catch it. Then my save disappeared and I started a new save and got the exact same team and speedran it.
Got back to the same trainer and it crashed again in the same spot, but the save file was still there that time. IDK why the save disappeared the first time.
Thanks for sharing your input pal. Strange situation, but did you use any cheats when playing this game? Cheats can cause problems like this.
What Emulator i can play this
Any GBA/VBA Emulator can be use to play the game, Just need Base Pokemon Emerald Rom Version 1.0 and UPS Patcher then you are good to go.
How do you patch it(Iโm new to this)
Wow thereโs a new update of glazed to play ๐ But I was just wondering, does all the featured updates in 7b also have in 8.6.3? Thank you โค
Hi Ariadne. A heard a lot of good things with the new version. Iโm pretty sure youโre not gonna regret playing it.
I am having problem in download because of mega download link pls try to change in gogle drive or else
Iโm not sure why it happened to you and youโre the only reader having that issue I guess but I try to create a mirror links for each of these download links.
Hey which is the latest 7b or 8.6.3 ?????? Are they patched the
7b is the latest version made from its original creator, while the 8.6.3 is the latest version from another person who made improvements of the game.
So what version should I play ?
Neither of them, but the beta 7b is the most up to date version of this game.
What version of emerald should be patched?
I love this game and I download it
I love this game as well. Have fun Harvey.
i dont see any 8.6.3 in the poke forum . is the 8.6.3 the newer version of this tom hack?
Sorry to be that guy, but the download doesnโt work for my visual boy.
Hi there Theshinybante, maybe because you didnโt patch the file an Emerald rom. Patch it first.
That mean this game have mega evolution and use mega stone to evo them right?
how to play this in android?
Download and patch the file to your Pokemon Emerald game. You can use My Boy, to play this on your Android device.
Is My boy! free versiรณn good tu run this game?
Yup, My Boy free version works well in this game.
Are trade evolutions changed, and if so, how are they now evolved?
Are trade evolutions changed, and if so, how do I evolve them in game?
I canโt play the game.I read the guide and I have a fresh Pokemon emerald but it wonโt be on the games list.Reply to me to help me.
Same
Can somebody pls tell me why I have so low fps? Iโm playing on john gba emulator at speed x4. On other versions it works (like light platinum). And how I have to fix it?
I had a problem with fps until i realised i had frameskip on 9โฆ put it down to 0 and it runs all smoothโฆ but this is in vba tho
When I download glazed I canโt get it to work in the emulator. What to do ?
u need the emerald rom and nups patcher (google)
Same hereโฆ..
hi there, Iโd really appreciate some help here. using the latest version of VisualBoyAdvance Iโm able to run version Beta6F without any trouble. but patching any of the most recent versions into a clean Emerald rom causes the VBA Emulator to read Loading Battery and then nothing. doesnโt run. this is the same emulator than ran 6F of this same game. I patched it together in the same way. is my pc somehow just not strong enough for this game to work? or am I perhaps using the wrong emulator? Iโm very confused.
Hi there Donut, may I know whatโs your patcher? Cause the author recommends using NUPS. Regarding your Emerald rom, make sure you havenโt used it before for cheating or patching a rom hack. I doubt it if itโs your computer or emulator causing the issue. But as an alternative solution, try switching your emulator to mGBA. Feel free to let me know how this goes to you.
No clue whether this is the right place to inform the creators, but I felt that since no one else has mentioned it, Iโll mention it. There are a few misspellings in the game, with your mom saying โjorneyโ instead of โjourneyโ after battling the Pikachu at the beginning, and Percy says โdefinatelyโ instead of โdefinitelyโ after defeating him in Forest Pass for the first time.
Hi MetaKnight, thanks for being here. If you are referring to the hotfix version of Glazed made by TrainerX493 I can surely raise it to him.
Why is talonflameโs max hp at one
canโt mega evolve swampert and the others in v8.5.1.. but others do like charizard and manectric..
Where is feebas
hey itโs a bug or not because I canโt use hm fly to move cities on johto but on tunod it can
Not a bug, you can use teleport in johto
I cant load file ups on MyBoy, please give me solution
So I keep getting a game freeze on Alpha Isle in the dungeon of the pokemon center on the 2nd trainer. I read that patch 8.5.1 fixes this but I thought I got it, but it still freezes up. I donโt know what to do. Iโm also a little worried Iโll screw something up if I try to fix it with my ROM Patcher cause last time I corrupted my file and wasnโt able to play it anymore and had to start over. Can anyone help me with this?
Ya same here I m stuck somebody PLZZ help
how many pokemon in this game?
up to how much gen?
7
Disappointed with this. After 70 hours of gameplay, Iโm stuck without being able to find dragonite or Clair. I have completed everything else. Sigh.
So far Iโm not impressed with this game. Definitely donโt start off with shinx. And trying to lvl other Pokemon up to just defeat the second gym is ridiculously time consuming
This game is funny as hell.
I already patched Glazed but it doesnโt work. Help me please
Has the number of mega evolution pokemon increased?. Also any other continuation after the whole game like expanding to other region and Z moves etc.?
And PLEASE include new story to new update in future. Most people would love to play continuation to this as the Anime series goes.
I would like to help in creating update game which is continuation to this.
Hey there Alonzo, thanks for dropping here. It looks like only TrainerX493 can answer those questions. Iโll let TrainerX493 know regarding your request and offer. You can also find him in Pokecommunity.
UPDATE: From TrainerX493
Tried to download doesnt work
Thereโs a guy who has been updating the game over on Pokecomunnity. Please upload version 8.3.1.
Yes, I just updated the page and added the download for the newly released version of Glazed. Thanks for notifying us Glazed guy.
Please help me patch properly. Mine doesnโt work. Thanks!
Patch it with a clean Emerald rom using NUPS tool.
I thought they added kanto,kalos and sinnoh regionsโฆit will be a lot more fun if you added this regions and meet legendary trainers like gold,red,ash etc. Andother evil organizations team rocket,aqua,magma etc. And bosses like Giovanni hope you will notice my comment.i know this will take time but try if you want
Impossible to download since the latest update of GBA4IOS11.
I hope they will fix this ;)
Itโs called โDeltaโ now and supports ios12
is there mega evolution
Yes
How can I download this and play on my phone I tried everything it just wonโt open
I am having trouble downloading the file, leaves me stuck on the download page, any help?
Try using the mirror link and see if that works.
My save file is gone? but I still have the actual file but my game wont load it
How do you evolve riolu
Usually it just evolves at a certain level of friendship.(I think 220 friendship.)So just try not to let riolu feint too many times to keep its happiness levels up
Thanks for this information pal, very useful.
Iโm phone user, so I wanted to know the steps for patching the file ROM. Needed step by step. Your help is my appreciation.
Patching on phone is bit complicated, try checking out our Beginnerโs Guide and see how to patch a rom hack file correctly section.
itโs an .ups file and when i changed it to .ips, lunar ips doesnt recognize it.
Looks like you are having trouble patching the game. Check our Beginnerโs guide section, this can help you with your problem.
Can you fight friends?
I donโt think thatโs possible.
pls help whenever i open the rom i always get a white screen please tell me how to fix it i already patched the rom with the ups
It seems that your emerald rom is not compatible with the ups file. If you canโt find the right emerald rom version for patching then I suggest downloading a prepatched version of this game somewhere.
go to options then emulator then save type, it should be set as flash 64k, but you need to set it as flash 128k
dope man thanks
File unrecognizable by GBA?
Wonโt play in MyBoyโฆ Unrecognised fileโฆ Iโm not a techy so help would be appreciated.
This is not a GBA rom file. To play this game you need to patch the download file to your Pokemon Emerald ROM. See the โhow to playโ for the patching instructions.
Please tell me what to do I downloaded the rom and tried to play it with my boy and it say unrecoginised file
You have to patch this to your Pokemon Emerald rom.
How do you get Froakie in Pokemon Glazed?
Mate, I believe you can get it only through playing and catching the Pokemon on the game.
How should I patch Pokemon Glazed into my emerald ver. Rom? By extracting the emerald 1st? And then put Pokemon glazed zip file into my emerald?
download glazed zip. extract in a folder. rename the folder as โglazedโ. download an emerald gba rom. extract it in the folder โglazedโ. download โrom patcherโ applocation at playstore.. after installing, open rom patcher.
select the extracted emerald rom in โglazedโ folder as rom to be patch and select the ups file from glazed as the patch. aun ok na.
