does pokemon shiny gold v4 work alright?

I got it and it seems to run alright I'm not sure if its a complete game though.

when I first start it up (I'm running it on VBA) I get a "the 1M sub-circuit board is not installed" message and then when I try and save it says to exchange the backup memory.. what do I need to do?

I was going to just install the version 5 patch but when I tried to run the IPS.exe it said it couldnt work on my machine, I think this is because I am running windows xp 64-bit.

It does work when I use VBA's save feature (that saves you realtime) but it dosent work the way it should with the ingame menu.

any tips? even if I can get it to run I want to know if there are any major glitches later in the game or anything like that. thanks

 

do you think that's the case with the patcher?

 

no what loonys saying is that 32 bit programs will not work well on 64 bit

 

I've heard that there are a lot of compatibility issues but I haven't really had much, I had to go through a little bit of trouble to get msn to work but that was it.

But on another note, does anyone know if version 4 works alright? the only problems I've had with it I have posted I just want to know so that I dont go all the way through the game and it turns out there is a major glitch like 8 hours in.
