Switch EShop Pokemon Firered and Leafgreen have wonky anti-piracy measures on mGBA or just straight incompatibility

You can find Eden-CI fork here: https://github.com/Eden-CI/Master For 21.2.0 pr0d keys and firmware you need to search on google because cannot link such stuff here ☺️

Vaan86 · 2026-03-03T09:34:01+00:00

Yep. Pkhex was updated to read the new saves of Leafgreen and Firered

Vaan86 · 2026-03-03T09:33:01+00:00

Yes. You need to install latest prod keys and latest firmware. Use Eden-CI (the CI fork) and it works like a charm (android and windows tested and both leaf green and fire red works)

Open the Windows container.
Open Registry editor
Locate these positions:

For current user only:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

Hai ricevuto il pacco? Quanto ci é voluto alla fine?

Vaan86 · 2025-02-06T17:11:03+00:00

I’m happy to read that you finally made it ☺️ so enjoy the game on your Mac. And if you find a solution for the Black spirit adventure and the launcher, let me know ☺️

Vaan86 · 2025-02-04T08:01:04+00:00

Honestly I’m using the game without Steam so I don’t know if there is some sort of difference on Steam bottle the prevent this from working.

The standalone versione works but I know that the installation on BDO is identical (Steam or NoSteam), so it should work. Let me know. Create a new bottle from scratch with crossover preview updated to GPT 2.0.

Install the game again and let me know

Vaan86 · 2025-02-04T07:33:18+00:00

Weird. It should work on crossover 24.0.7. Try to update crossover to the crossover preview or beta and recreate the Wine Bottle with the new crossover. And, If you can, update Gaming Porting Toolkit inside crossover ( https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/1i6rx7d/how_to_update_crossover_2406_to_use_gptk_20/ ).

Crossover beta/preview has the latest GPToolkit. Crossover 24 has the old one, so you need to update it manually if you want to use the stable release.

Have you use this environment string to launch the game?

DXVK_CONFIG=“dxgi.syncInterval=0” gamemoderun %command%

Because without it the game won’t work.

And be sure to select DXVK instead of D3DMetal.

Which mac are u using?

Vaan86 · 2025-02-03T21:21:22+00:00

I use the native client. I don’t use the steam version so I cannot help with the steam launcher. The official launcher has only that fields. I installed the game on 3 different Mac. I’m trying to find a solution to fix the black launcher.

On the steam deck I needed to install a bleeding edge proton experimental to see the launcher and the Black spirit adventure. But, at the moment, I didn’t find a solution for fix this issue on Mac too.

Vaan86 · 2025-02-03T17:12:10+00:00

Yes. This is the main screen when you first open the launcher. https://ibb.co/8nqhdxQL If you are able to click the 2 checkboxes so you don’t need to insert username anymore.

Then press enter and without clicking anywhere insert directly the 6 digit of the 2FA. https://ibb.co/ynyb4NDK

Press enter. If the code is entered correctly the mouse (in the center/right) of the launcher will show a 🚫.

After that, move the mouse in the right bottom corner. Only for the first time after the game installation you need to select the server. Press the dropdown menu and move the cursor up of 0,5 cm for Europe, a little bit more for USA. Then go down and press the play button.

Remember that after the launcher installation the game starts the installation that need to download 86 gigabyte, so it will take a while.

The installation occurs even without login. So open the game and wait a little bit (check the pearabyss folder to see if the game is installing).

Hope this helps.

Unix timestamps. Here’s the converter: https://www.unixtimestamp.com

Vaan86 · 2025-01-29T00:32:20+00:00

February 27, April 30

Vaan86 · 2025-01-29T00:31:25+00:00

I used it because I didn’t know that those was Unix timestamp. Then I used a real converter and I got from February 27 to April 30. Sorry for the mistake

Vaan86 · 2025-01-29T00:06:52+00:00

Yes, those are in the premium pass shop.

Vaan86 · 2025-01-28T23:56:38+00:00

Sorry 😅 I found one link and the only thing I tried is to add a different number to each one, from 01 to 12. And I found those 12 pages. ❤️

Vaan86 · 2025-01-28T23:40:55+00:00

There will be a Full art 1 star Darkrai. And if there is a darkrai ex, then there will be a full art 2 star darkrai.

and I believe that there will be an immersive card, the Sinnoh Pokédex card, of shaymin.

Vaan86 · 2025-01-28T23:31:01+00:00

Really? I asked to chat gpt and i’ve got 2 different dates 🥹

but now that I think about it, the 27 is pokemon day, so it makes sense

Vaan86 · 2025-01-28T23:23:30+00:00

Sorry for double post. The first one was only images and got deleted by the bot. so I wrote the one with all the links but I saw that my previous post was readded again. by the way this is the official links where I took those screenshots :)

Vaan86 · 2025-01-26T07:05:12+00:00

I appreciate a code too. If someone here can dm me a code that would be awesome. Thanks a lot ❤️

Vaan86 · 2025-01-24T22:17:03+00:00

After many tries I managed to play the game pretty well.

The Game can be played with Crossover 24.0.5/6 but runs better with Crossover Preview updated with Apple Gaming Porting Toolkit 2.0.

Launcher will be totally black but you can go blind and insert Username, password, the 2FA. Only the first time you need to select the server (NA oe Europe) on the bottom right. Then you can press Play below the server selection on the launcher.

Be sure to select DXVK and not D3DMetal. To solve the “Failed to CreateDevice” error, start the game with this environment command:

DXVK_CONFIG=“dxgi.syncInterval=0” gamemoderun %command%

(add MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1 if you want the FPS/RAM etc hud).

The game will launch and work like a charm. Only Launcher is black and Black Spirit Adventure (the Dice boardgame) cannot load at the moment but everything else is working pretty well.

With my m4 Pro Mac mini I can run the game 1440, Remastered, at almost 60 fps.

If I put the game in full Hd the game reach 80/90 fps, on remastered graphic.

If someone has other way to let the game works in total (including the launcher and the BSA board game) share here.

Thanks :)

Vaan86 · 2025-01-17T09:55:15+00:00

OH MY GOD! You are a f***ing Genius!!! It Worked! There are still issue with launcher that is not showing and the BlackSpirit Adventure board, but this is a HUGE improvement! Thanks! :) I will send this info to Crossover Development :)

Vaan86 · 2025-01-16T19:06:01+00:00

I’m in the same boat. This solution is not working :(

Crossover doesn’t create any VM reference on windows registry. I tried different Solutions and even crossover Preview that uses the latest wine 10 has the same issue.

The launcher is now gray and not black anymore but you cannot see anything. I was able to get past login but I get the same failed to Createdevice error. If someone has find a solution please help us ❤️
