Recommended Emulator Guidance

Use mGBA or another actively maintained GBA emulator. The v2.0 changelog explicitly warns players not to use MyBoy or VBA because those emulators are outdated and can struggle with modern ROM hacks.

Setup Checklist

  • Download the latest Pokemon Lazarus v2.0 build from the official download page.
  • Keep your old save backed up before replacing a ROM file.
  • Make sure the save filename matches the ROM filename when migrating versions.
  • Test Pokemon Center healing, inn time changes, and early quest events before long play sessions.
  • Known Issue Tracking

    Public comments mention freezes around healing, delivery NPCs, inns, and early quests, often from Android emulator setups. Treat comments as reports to verify, not confirmed bugs.

    How to Report Bugs

    Use the official Discord when possible. Include your emulator, version, device, save history, and the exact map or NPC where the problem happens.
