[Game] Pokemon Crystal Dust Fork romhack - Fails to save in GBARunner2 and doesn't boot in with GBARunner3

[ShadowOne333]

Good day.

I found what seems to be a saving issue on a very specific GBA romhack when running it through GBARunner2.
The original version of the romhack is called Crystal Dust, which is a remake of Pokemon Crystal made in Gen 3 with Pokemon Emerald as base:
https://github.com/Deokishisu/CrystalDust

However, the specific version I'm having issues with is a fork of Crystal Dust, the fork specifically adds a bunch of QoL features, and can be found in GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/devolov/crystaldust_fork

When trying to run the Fork through GBARunner2, the game does boot up normally and all, but upon reaching the main game and attempting to save, I get a save error immediately, making the game unable to save at all.
It's important to note, however, that this does not happen with the normal/original Crystal Dust hack, it seems to be related only to the Fork itself.

Updating to GBARunner3 the game now refuses to boot at all, only giving a white screen on boot, while with GBARunner2, the game did boot and got into gameplay, with the only issue being unable to save the game.

I also tried the hicode build of GBARunner3, downloaded it and extracted it into the right folder, but unfortunately it seems like the Fork hack still boots to a white screen and the normal/original Crystal Dust does boot but doesn't get in-game neither, making it a regression in this instance since the normal Crystal Dust worked fine on GBARunner2.

I have included BPS patches for both normal Crystal Dust and the Fork for testing, if needed, though I'm not sure if this is the right place to report about this very niche saving error on such an obscure romhack.

Both patches should be applied over a vanilla Pokemon Emerald (USA) ROM, with the following checksums:

CRC32: 1F1C08FB
MD5: 605B89B67018ABCEA91E693A4DD25BE3

If there's anything else I can provide towards this issue, please let me know, and thank you for all the hard work being made for GBARunner.
