Next question, So I prepatch it then it still doesnt work WTF? FINAL QUESTION for $1,000,000, how come I cant play Hacked GBA games on it? (Im trying to play ShinyGold [FireRed hack])

Do you have a slot-2 flashcart, y/n?

And does not work with 1 Mbit saves that Pokémon uses. You need to use ExpLoader for that. And use GBATA header fix, or it will not work on a GBA/DS with Flashcart.

if you flash it in NOR mode, it might take over a minute for the largest roms, but PSRAM should be done in a few seconds.

this is a typical problem of the shinygold hack. the header is screwed up, so it must be fixed using GBATA, or it will not run on any real GBA hardware.
