I doubt anyone even heard of the game..Anyway, About a year back I started a Megaman Xtreme TAS. It came out quite nicely until I was doing the classic refight all the bosses stage. One of the bosses apparently causes the gamera to freeze and never scroll right. I tried reorganizing and seeing if the other boss(Stage has vertical scrolling) would cancel it out, nope. The rom has no intro(As in, no mode 7 monkey thing or anything), the glitch happens in every rom I try(Good thing the game is short). In short, boss causing emulation glitch. Cart never had this problem.

Heh, I tried this game once, but I could only beat the first level. So I wouldn't know if that happens.

I tried doing a TAS of that game and it seemed incredibly fast-lookin and I didn't do it very well but so it goes. Also, I didn't experience said problem when playing it normally. Huh.

EDIT: Ignore this post. Did you try using a GBA BIOS? Most freezing problems in GBA games (all of the ones I've ever seen, anyway, except ones caused by corrupted ROMs) can be fixed by using the right BIOS file. Also, it might be possible to convert (hex edit) the run you've done so far to use the BIOS so that it can be completed through the boss.

Huh? I thought it was a Game Boy/Game Boy Color game.

Oh... well never mind then, from the problem description I assumed it was GBA, obviously I didn't know anything about the game. I can look at the problem if you could provide a save state before it happens (or a movie file to it).

I remembered that i finished that game... But I was certainly not using VBA... Too bad you have a bug... i'd certainly have appreciated to see a run for this game... Try the second one if it can't be helped ;)

I tried a TAS of the game once and emulation was perfectly fine in VBA.

Now if only my HD wasn't wiped I could try some of these, I'm going to re-start the run, hopefully it might not glitch this time.
