DexHacks is a fan-built play-and-guide hub: a WebAssembly GBA player sits above walkthroughs, Pokédex location tips, and boss counters so you never pause a run to search another tab.
- No-pause live control: Swap quest checklists, dex notes, and boss counters without freezing gameplay.
- Zero second-device lookup: Keep spreadsheets and phone Wikis closed.
- Local sandboxing: Patching and saves stay in browser memory — we do not collect your ROM files.
What is the DexHacks no-pause live console?
The no-pause live console is the DexHacks layout that places an in-browser emulator directly above mission, dex, and boss panels so context switching takes a tap instead of an alt-tab. According to our About page, DexHacks is non-commercial and does not host Nintendo ROM images.
How the live console differs from a Wiki tab
A Wiki tab forces you to pause. DexHacks keeps the game running while you tick checklists or open counters — the same pattern used on Unbound mission pages and the Radical Red documentation hub.
Does DexHacks store my patched ROM?
No. Patching runs client-side; saves export as standard .sav files you control.
See the Privacy Policy for browser-storage details.
Why switch from dual-device lookups to DexHacks?
Dual-device play (emulator + phone Wiki) creates lag, broken immersion, and save risk when mobile Safari clears cache.
DexHacks collapses that workflow into one screen with a hard .sav export path.
| Outdated workflow | DexHacks workflow |
|---|---|
| Dual-device distraction: Pause to search evolution levels or crash-prone Sheets. | Instant context switching: Walkthrough ⇄ Dex ⇄ Boss tabs under the game. |
| Information overload: Long Wiki walls and ads for one NPC coordinate. | Micro-scoped cards: Checklists scoped to the current area or boss. |
| Cookie save loss: Long runs wiped when mobile cache clears. | Standard .sav pipeline: Export saves compatible with flashcarts and Unbound Cloud. |
Which games can I play and document on DexHacks?
DexHacks currently focuses on Pokémon Unbound (v2.1.1.1), Pokémon Radical Red 4.1, and PokéRogue. Unbound and Radical Red use the GBA sandbox; PokéRogue embeds the official browser client.
Pokémon Unbound
Full mission list, boss counters, curated Pokédex locations, and safe cheat alternatives — see the Unbound hub. Location data is curated, not a false “complete National Dex.”
Pokémon Radical Red
Soft level-cap tables, gym order, DexAll workflow, and play panel on the Radical Red documentation hub. Caps are aligned with the official PokeCommunity FAQ list.
PokéRogue
Endless unlock, egg gacha, clear-cache, and Golden Punch answers live on the PokéRogue hub, citing patterns documented on wiki.pokerogue.net.
