Options for Cheats / Modifications

1. GameShark / Action Replay (GBA Hardware):
   • Requires physical device + cartridge. Codes for: Infinite HP, PP, Items, Recruit Rate, 999 Stats.
   • Risk: Save corruption, Bad Eggs, crash. Backup save first (GB Operator, Retrode).
   • Codes at GameHacking.org (search "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red").
2. Emulator Cheats (mGBA, VBA-M, NO$GBA):
   • Tools → Cheats → Add (GameShark/Action Replay format).
   • Search RAM for values (HP, money) → create custom codes.
   • Save states = safe experimentation.
3. Save Editing (Best for Permanent Changes):
   • Export .sav (via emulator or hardware dumper).
   • Open in PMD2 Save Editor (by psy_commando) or PKHeX (supports PMD).
   • Edit: Money, Items, Team Rank, IQ, Moves, Species, Stats.
   • Import back. Clean, safe, no runtime instability.
4. ROM Hacks: Explorers of Sky mods (expanded content, QoL). Not for Red Rescue Team specifically.

Legit "Cheats" (Unlockables)

• Wonder Mail / Wonder Mail S: Passwords for rescue missions → reward items. Generated online.
