Does DexHacks host ROM files?

No. You provide your own base ROM; patching runs locally.

What is the No-Pause Live Console?

Switch between walkthrough, dex, boss counters, and cheats without pausing the game.

DexHacks — Retro ROM Hack Sandbox

Play, track, and counter. All on a single screen without ever pausing your journey.

DexHacks — No-Pause Live Console

DexHacks bridges the ultimate gap between emulation and documentation. We've unified a blazing-fast WebAssembly GBA engine with an elegant, zero-friction Live Command Console directly below the game window.

Core Innovations

No-Pause Live Control: Switch between quest checklists, dex changes, and boss counters with a single tap — never freeze your active gameplay.
Zero Second-Device Lookup: Ditch spreadsheet tabs and searching on a second phone.
Pure Local Sandboxing: 100% private. Micro-patching and save pipelines execute instantly inside your browser memory.

The Outdated Way vs. DexHacks

❌ The Outdated Way	✨ The DexHacks Way
Dual-Device Distraction: Pausing your emulator to search evolution levels on your phone, or alt-tabbing to crash-prone Google Sheets.	Instant Context Switching: Swap Walkthrough ⇄ Dex Changes ⇄ Boss Counters in 0.1 seconds via tabs below your screen.
Information Overload: Sifting through endless Wiki text blocks and intrusive banner ads for a single NPC coordinate.	Micro-Scoped Live Dashboard: Clean, responsive data cards with interactive checklists that adapt to your current area.
Volatile Cookie Save Loss: Losing a 40-hour run when mobile Safari clears cache after inactivity.	Hard-Coded .sav Pipeline: Export standard save files instantly — compatible with flashcarts and Unbound Cloud.
