Pokémon Red on PC

PC versionGame Boy Fans have made a PC version. Some are still early, so read the project page first.

Fans took Pokémon Red apart and rebuilt it so it runs natively on a computer, often with widescreen, higher frame rates and mods. Here are the 2 projects we know about:

🛡 Stay safe: only download from the project's own page linked above. Fake "PC port" downloads on other sites can carry malware.
