gbafix worked, this is what I got:

White Screen:
F-Cyan
F-Sienna (4.0 fix3 & 4.1)
F-Quartz

Works but breaks:
L-Advanced Adventure = Plays Oaks intro, then freezes.
R-Harvestcraft = Plays Oaks intro, then freezes.
F-DBZ Team Training = Freezes when choosing a starter.

Works:
F-Chronicles of Soala
L-Delta Green
E-Emerald Wally Version (1.05 & 1.10)

I got some others I'm checking later, but I'm skipping Emerald based hacks for now because the top screen is broke on my 3ds, and the version that works with Emerald only displays on the top screen.

Edit: I should mention that the build I'm using to test these is the one included with the latest version of Twilight menu. Also for working hacks I'm only going as far as getting into the first battle or a bit farther.

That you couldn´t add more information to the Retail games template. The program would delete a big chunk of the section.
Strange, I can´t reproduce the issue... Next time I will take a screenshot.

Been away from any 3ds stuff for a while. Loving the DS widescreen stuff and was curious if there was a like, zoom/full screen type patch/function for this?

Currently not, but fully customizable scaling and masking is planned. Don't expect great results from scaling though as I cannot really apply any filtering.

RaymanTheHedgehog · Sep 10, 2019

Well, without the border option in the settings makes some games run nearly fullscreen with some glitches.

Blackthorne, Megaman & Bass, Breath of fire and Yoshi's island plays good without border but glitches as heck

I mean personally I don't care about filtering so that's exciting to hear!

I've implemented rtc support now, so you should be able to fully enjoy your pokemon games now. I also merged the latest master in the rom3M branch such that emerald can also be used with rtc. Let me know if there are any issues with it.
master: https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases/tag/v20190911-201013_ce32975
rom3M: https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases/tag/v20190911-201047_371815e

Me too actually. I really want to play these games but none of them work at all on this thing.

theta emerald ex just white screens now after the new build. on the first 3m build it worked perfectly
edit: got a pre patched rom from somewhere, it boots now but now it black screens on that screen before the title screen

TheTrueDream42 · Sep 12, 2019

I've checked a few more hacks yesterday. There was a few more I also checked not listed here, but my notes is not matching with what I remember (mostly Emerald stuff), and so I need to double check those later. I'll also update the first post I made for continence later when I do (also what version each hack is, though they are all the latest unless noted).

White Screen:
F-Platinum Red
F-Pulsar
F-Shining Opal
F-Ultra Shiny Gold Sigma
F-Unbound - (2017 demo)*
F-Unbound - (2019 Battle Tower demo)*

Freezes after the Trademark Screen:
F-Eclipse
F-Fire Red VR Missions
F-Shiny Gold

Freezes after the Title Screen:
F-Mirage of tales - Evando prologue = Grey screen after the "PRESS START" screen
F-Mirage of tales - Kala prologue = same
F-Mirage of tales - Zhafira prologue = same

Loads but breaks:
F-Life Version - I'll double check later, but I believe it crashes receiving the starter (I know it crashes somewhere)
F-Ultra Violet - Crashes when picking starter/Crashes when starting battle to catch starter (safari zone style)

Enhancement hacks:

White Screen:
E-Cosmic Emerald
F-Extreme Red
F-Kanto Black
F-Meta Fire Red X
F-Meta Fire Red Y
F-Nameless Fire Red Project
F-Omega Red
F-Super Heart Red
F-Throwback
F-Ultra Fire Sun

Loads but breaks:
E-Emerald: Double Edition (1.1 & 1.2) = Freezes after Pof. Birch message while being chased by Zigzagoon.

Loads fine:
F-Alternate Evolutions
E-Emerald Kaizo
F-Fire Red 20XX
F-Iridescent
E-Oof

*gbafix required.

Also I wanted to say that the rtc is working just fine on regular Emerald for me. Closing the game and turning it on later shows it is working as it should.

@Gericom, I still get the timing issues in Mario & Luigi - Superstar Saga (E).
I use the latest build from the master and rom3M branch.

Did you disable the main memory cache in the latest master?

No, I didn´t know it was possible in the menu. I did it now and it works with minor issues (flicker on the character sprites).

Yeah, and using dsi speed on a dsi also fixes most remaining issues iirc.

Only if you have a dsi/3DS system! Ds and ds lite don´t have that extra power.

Yeah, I think it's good you test with the weakest system. Since then it can only be better than the compatibility list at least.

I wonder if disabling the main memory cache could fix some games that currently white screen after the bios intro.
I will probably have to retest every game again...
