Supported Pokemon Games and ROM Versions
The Gen1Recomp documentation lists three accepted inputs:
| Game | Required input | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pokemon Red | Canonical 1 MiB US ROM matching the published SHA-1 | Supported |
| Pokemon Blue | Canonical 1 MiB US ROM matching the published SHA-1 | Supported |
| Pokemon Yellow | Canonical 1 MiB US ROM matching the published SHA-1 | Supported |
The importer checks the file itself, not its filename. Renaming a different revision or region does not make it compatible.
Unsupported or Unconfirmed Inputs
Current documentation does not confirm support for:
- non-US releases or alternate revisions;
- translated or otherwise modified ROMs;
- headered or altered dumps;
- prototypes and beta versions;
- arbitrary Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow ROM hacks;
- Pokemon games from later generations.
Why a ROM Is Required
Gen1Recomp supplies a newly written engine, not the original Pokemon game data. During import it verifies a compatible user-supplied ROM and creates the private data needed by the recreation. This website does not provide ROM downloads or generated caches.
Once a supported game is imported, the same optional VoxelMod process can be used for Red, Blue or Yellow. Follow the 3D setup guide after confirming your input here.
