I just can't get Emerald to start. I launch the game, the Game Boy main screen shows up then the screen remains white. Every other GBA game works just fine. I tried using GBArunner2 but it's glitchy and the music sounds weird and not synced.

I read that I should use the hicode version of GBARunner3 and I tried to set it up (I could only find an older version online, replaced the configs folder in _gba folder, etc. ), but the same problem occurs. I also tried using Twilightmenu++ without success.

I read that I should use the hicode version of GBARunner3, I downloaded the gbarunner3 hicode zip file from the flashcart guides for Pico, put the configs folder in _gba folder, etc. but the problem occurs. I also tried using Twilightmenu++ without success and also edited the BBEE00.json file to remove JIT.

Any help please?

UPDATE: the issue seems to be with my Italian version of the game. The Europe version just works, so I guess I will keep the Europe version in English.

EDIT: I found the issue. The problem is the Italian rom, Pokemon Smeraldo (Italy), while the USA/EUROPE version of the game works just fine. It's a bit weird that Ruby and Sapphire (Italy) don't have any problems.
