Homebrew Contact ROM freeze

[Vox Vocem]

I've been trying to get Contact working on no$gba or Desmume, but it always freezes just as I try to start a new game. anyone know how to fix this, or is it a lost cause?

Well it's quite an old game, so I would assume that you got a bad dump of the game or it has anti-piracy and you have yet to patch it.

any idea where this patch could be, then? the game's title makes it really hard to search for.
