ROM Hack this happening to anyone else?

I experienced no crash when i went to vermilion city. maybe you just fail.

nice but it's not crashing, the game just completely resets when I turn it back on after getting that far

Exactly! That's why I mentioned using 1MB save games. The original post had nothing to do with crashing while playing so I do not even know how that got brought into it.

For the love of god use an 8Mbit save file!
Platinum used one, and it screwed up in a similar way when you got far enough with a lower-size save.
Plus there's not much point in not doing it, esp. if it protects your save game.

The 1 MByte save is used because the game saves in two "slots". If the save gets corrupted, it loads the previous one. That's the theory at least, don't know how it works on flashcarts because the only problems I've read of are from people using a 1Mbyte save. (save getting corrupted all the time, loading the previous save, having to save multiple times).
If you use a 512 Kbyte save, it will only save in one "slot". I'm playing on original R4, 512 Kbyte save, no problems at all. I'm in Kanto right now, 13 badges.

Ironically there is no such problem for the R4 SDHC.

Oh well ....The save file editing seems to be a good solution.
