Getting Started

This page is a work in progress! The installation information below was written for older versions of the game.

## Downloading

the game is free!
You can Find a download either on Discord or the Pokécommunity thread. You do NOT need an Emulator. What you need:

* ~3GB of free disk space.

## installation

If you're adding it to steam, you can make the steam page for it look nice with the images listed on Steam Grid DB!

### PC, Windows

Recommended installation procedure: Follow the Download pages' description about which files you need to download, usually a 'Full Game' and sometimes a 'Patch' file. Create a new folder with directory and name of your choice and move the downloaded files into this newly created folder. (Where you place it on your PC doesn't matter as long as you remember where it is. SSD recommended.)

Right click the 'Main Game' file and click "Extract here". This process may take a while, wait for it to finish. Afterwards repeat with the patch file. When you get asked to overwrite files, click 'yes' to all and the installation was successful. The patch HAS to overwrite files in order to take effect.

### MAC OS

you can use WINE or Virtual Machine/Windows Emulator. No official support. Performance will most likely be poor.

When installing a Patch be sure not to overwrite the entirety of the graphics folder. If you do, you'll erase the battlers folder and crash at your very first battle since it can't properly render mons.

Installation instructions for MacOS Big Sur and Infinite Fusion 5.0.22 Beta:

1. Install Wineskin Winery via these instructions
2. Hit the plus on winery, install an engine (ex: WS11WineCX64Bit21.1.0)
3. Make a new wrapper, choose a folder (the installed Infinite Fusion folder)
4. Choose the launch exe, in this case Game.exe (In 5.1.1.1+, this is named Pokemon Infinite Fusion.exe)
5. Double click the wine wrapper (basically, an env for it to launch the windows app)

Updating a previous version:

1. Right click the wine wrapper, and hit "show package contents"
2. Merge patch folders with previous version (resources/drive\_c/program\_files/(name of Infinite Fusion folder)

### Linux, Steam Deck

While the game is playable on linux, we do not have instructions at the moment. Please contribute here!

### Mobile

 While it is not officially supported, it is possible to use third-party apps such as Joiplay to play the game on Android. See this post for more information.

### Updating

Versions past 5.3.0.5 can download and install updates for you. check the installation folder for a .bat file or similar and run it to install updates.

For older versions, you only need to download the patch file found in the version you wish to upgrade to. These downloads can be found in the Pokécommunity thread. copy and replace any files inside into your installation folder.

### Controller

You can use controllers for games that don't have native support by using steam, a popular games launcher. In your games library, you can add Infinite Fusion as a non-steam game to enable controller configuration.
