Other gba vc games, injected or official, work fine for you?
That notification shows up without you holding the power button?

If you haven't tried any others then you can't tell yet whether it's a problem with the rom you're using, or the injector you're using, or something you're doing. What injector are you using? I use NSUI, works like a charm except for running into a few games where it can't find the boxart image on its own for some reason, so a quick google image search and I can import the image I choose. Most of the time it finds the image on its own though.

You tried the same game, different rom (and with the same software) ?
I recommend using NSUI instead.
Also try another game altogether. Not sure if it's to have the cover art when creating the cia file or not, but if it is, having a cover art with the wrong dimensions, or any other setting could throw the 3ds out of whack. Again just a guess.
I would also try Open_agb_firm, not as a substitute, but just to try if the same game (rom) works or not, just to pinpoint if it's a 3ds issue or an injector issue.

I have tried 2 different roms with the same gba to cia converter and I will try nsui when I get the chance.

How long did this screen stay like this? I know that this screen can sometimes be awhile as the 3ds boots into gba mode.

Judging by the "hot to make it not spanish" line, he used NSUI since the default language of that application is Spanish. If you get it from GameBrew.org, it will include version 27 and the beta of 28. The beta of 28 does more, like using RetroArch for emulation, but it doesn't seem to work as well as version 27 for what already exists as Virtual Console(NES, GameBoy, GBA, etc). At least, that's my experience.
