Pokémon Red/Blue (GB)

Support

You can follow the general setup guide at https://crowdcontrol.live/setup for extra help with the Twitch Extension, the Crowd Control Desktop Client and other options.

If you have any questions or need help with this setup, please head over to our discord, forum or email us for additional support!

Version Support

We support he USA Version of Pokemon Red and Blue.
We do not support any randomizer or mods at this time.

If the application is unable to use your ROM it will let you know. Also to ensure the game is working, you should see “C.C. Edition” on the title screen of the game!

Gameplay Note

We updated the behavior of the Pokemon Mart, instead of just getting Oak’s Parcel, you now also get the Pokedex here. This solves the issue with not being able to get past the old man. You do not need to deliver the parcel to Oak.

Bizhawk Support

Before you are able to play any Game Boy game with Bizhawk, you will need to get a legally obtained backup of your Game Boy’s BIOS. Import the GB BIOS, Config > Firmwares. Find GB, right click and Set Custom . This will allow you to browse to your BIOS. After selecting BIOS, choose the relaunch option or close out Bizhawk and reopen from the CC app.

Bizhawk GBC Support

Here are some tips for getting Pokémon Crystal set for GBC, which can look much better for streams. This will require the same ROM as before, but this time we need the GBC BIOS to continue and the GBC setting enabled.

Import the GBC BIOS, Config > Firmwares. Find GBC, right click and Set Custom. This will allow you to browse to your BIOS. After selecting BIOS, choose the relaunch option or close out Bizhawk and reopen from the CC app.
