Tried on three different emulators. The ROM resets itself as soon as you try to take any sort of action in your first battle. Troll ROM be trollin'. It's ROM: 2689 - Final Fantasy VI Advance - USA.
It does, now that you mention it. I didn't know that they had that sort of thing on GBA games. Did they?
True. I actually decided to go ahead and download the game from a few other places. All USA region. All of them work perfectly. It has to be just this ROM. Unless all these other ROMs are not clean. Which is something I do not have the knowledge to check.
