How to Download and Install Pokemon Fire Ash on PC and Android
Downloading Pokemon Fire Ash is straightforward, but you need to know where to get the files and how to run them on your device. This guide covers the latest version 3.7.1, direct download links, and step-by-step installation for both PC and Android.
For a full breakdown of the game’s features, regions, and post-game content, check out our Pokemon Fire Ash Guide.
Download Links
The game is distributed as a compressed folder. You can grab the full game (with audio included) or a smaller version without audio. If you already have version 3.7, you only need the patch.
| Download | Link |
|---|---|
| Full Game (with audio) | MEGA / Google Drive |
| Game without audio (smaller) | MEGA / Google Drive |
| Audio Pack (add separately) | MEGA / Google Drive |
| Patch 3.7.1 (for 3.7 only) | MEGA / Google Drive |
The full game already includes the audio. The “game without audio” option is useful if you want a faster download and plan to add the audio pack later.
Installing on PC
Pokemon Fire Ash is an RPG Maker XP game, not a GBA ROM. You do not need an emulator.
Download the full game archive (either Mega or Google Drive link).
Extract the ZIP or RAR file to a folder on your computer (e.g., `C:\Games\Pokemon Fire Ash`).
Open the folder and double-click `Game.exe`.
The game launches immediately. No additional setup is required.
If you downloaded the version without audio, extract the audio pack into the same folder. The game will then play music and sound effects.
Installing on Android
The game is not a native Android app. You need Joiplay, a free app that runs RPG Maker games on Android.
Download and install [Joiplay](https://joiplay.cyou/) from its official site or the Play Store.
Install the **RPG Maker Plugin** for Joiplay (also available from the same source).
On your PC, extract the game folder (the one containing `Game.exe`).
Transfer the entire game folder to your Android device (via USB, cloud, or SD card).
Open Joiplay, tap the **+** button, and select the game folder.
Choose `Game.exe` as the executable. Joiplay will detect the RPG Maker engine.
Tap the game icon to launch.
You may need to adjust the graphics settings in Joiplay if the game runs slowly. Lowering the resolution or disabling certain effects can help on older phones.
Patching to the Latest Version
If you downloaded version 3.7 (released July 3, 2026) and want to update to 3.7.1 (released July 19, 2026), apply the patch:
Download the patch archive from the table above.
Extract the patch files.
Copy and replace the files into your existing game folder. Overwrite when prompted.
Launch the game. The title screen should show version 3.7.1.
The patch fixes several crashes (Lyra, Faba, Kahili battles), incorrect sprites, and collision issues. It also adds German, French, and Spanish translations.
What Players Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
The game crashes on startup. What should I do?
Make sure you extracted the entire folder, not just the .exe. On PC, run as administrator if needed. On Android, check that Joiplay and the RPG Maker plugin are both installed.
Where are save files stored?
On PC, saves are in the same folder as `Game.exe` (a `Save` folder). On Android, Joiplay stores saves inside its own data directory – you can find them through Joiplay's settings.
Can I transfer my save from PC to Android?
Yes. Copy the `Save` folder from PC to the game folder on Android. Joiplay will read it. Make sure both versions of the game are the same (e.g., both 3.7.1).
Why does the game run slowly on my phone?
Try lowering the resolution in Joiplay's settings, or enable the 'Reduce tile animation speed' option in the game's own options menu (added in version 3.7).
Is this a ROM hack? Do I need a Fire Red ROM?
No. Pokemon Fire Ash is a standalone RPG Maker XP game. It does not require any ROM file.
