Crucial Warning: Not all save files work with all ROMs. The two main distributions are:

Always check your ROM’s header. You can do this by loading the game in an emulator and looking at the title screen’s bottom text.

Ash Gray has multiple versions. The most stable is Beta 4.5.3 (complete up to the end of the Indigo League, including the Orange Islands). Ensure your ROM base is Pokemon FireRed (U)(Squirrels) . If your save file was created on Beta 4.2 and you try to run it on Beta 4.5.3, you will walk through walls or trigger wrong events.
