played pokemon emerald for 1 hour and 20 mins. made my way to petalburg city, everything looks perfectly fine.
played mother 3 short for 15 mins cause i dont wanna spoil it, also everything looks perfectly fine
The problem with mother 3 is that it may have the save issue though. The k101 can't go back to the ingame menu with 32MB roms, because it doesn't have enough ram. So there is a chance your save file will disappear eventually. I personally would not trust my k101 to keep my mother 3 save; it's not worth the risk.
