Noticed a bug with it. I cant load mission 2. I beat mission 1, after the stage is beaten I walk around the sewer where splinter and your trophies are located, but when I select mission 2 and my characters just a blank black screen is shown. Ive redone the mission and tried a clean new save but still a black screen

Have you trimmed the ROM or otherwise got one that was? I have not done the internet rounds in years to see what GBA ROMs are being shared but if it is anything like the other devices out there some people running ROM distribution type setups have got a bit of a fetish for chopping things they deem unnecessary from ROMs. Simple check is the size exactly 4,8,16 or 32 megabytes. In this case both regions are apparently 64 Mbit so that will be 8 megabytes.
If memory serves this game did not like the conventional GBA style trimming where you find the first thing that is not a 00 or FF and chop after that (normally it works but it is far from impossible that it takes legit data). If it is the one I am thinking of then if you still wanted to trim I jumped a few dozen bytes forward from said first 00/FF, changed something there to not be 00 or FF and trimmed normally after that (I might have even made a quick IPS patch for it).

Yep I have the latest firmware from ez flash loaded on my cart and no idea about trimming. Got the roms from a site I found that had the complete library of gba and all other roms work just fine for me but TMNT. Havent played them all but I have tried countless games from that same zip and just noticed TMNT not going beyond stage 1
