ROM Hack So... VC Injection isn't necessarily working in the way I had hoped it'd work...

Hey guys. So, I'm having somewhat of an issue trying to get certain games to work via VC Injection.

From what I've heard, Virtual Console titles have a beta GBA Emulator within them. Now, they're apparently subpar and will only run games that are under 4 MB. So figured I'd experiment (out of curiosity) and inject a GBA game (under 4MB) via HANS.

After see a lot of people being successful with this kind of thing, I thought it would work.

Well, when it was about to boot-up, it crashed on load-up. I've tried modifying several things (like using different ROMs, etc.), but it still keeps on crashing.

Does anyone happen to know what's causing the problem at all? I'm genuinely curious about this and it seems odd that this does happen.

Have you patched AGB_FIRM on sysNAND/emuNAND? Golden Sun 2 is 16MB and is working perfectly fine for me.
Edit: Just noticed you mentioned HANS injection, I don't know then.

I'm actually not talking about the AGB_FIRM at all. I'm talking about this from the 1 Year Old The general VC rom injection thread (NES,GB/C/A etc.).
It says there's a beta GBA Emulator that resides in VC games.
another simple one, remove the old roms and copy a GBA rom into the rom folder, the name to match a similar set up to the old filename (but not exactly the same) and leave the extension as .gba so for example you could have AdvanceW.gba

worth noting the GBA emulation is very poor, very slow and only works on smaller roms i think after about 4MB it will just crash the 3DS

After seeing that kind of injection was possible, I though I'd try and replicate it for some type of experiment. Well, when I inject my GBA Rom, it crashes the application. Since injection is possible as proven by the picture above, it should be theoretically possible to do with HANS. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what kind of issue is prevent me from doing this.
