I've previously played Emerald with no issues but haven't launched it in a few months. I started it up to get back to my old save and now it just hangs on a white screen (specifically stuck on an indefinite white screen after the bios splash screen). The FPS counter at the top of the window still fluctuates, so the emulator itself seemingly hasn't frozen. All other games (Pokemon games and rom hacks included) start just fine.

I tried removing my save, redumping my cart, messing with the save type in Tools-> Game Overrides, and nothing has worked. I'm just at a loss as to why it would randomly stop working when there were no issues in the past and no changes to the emulator or my system since.

Tested on mGBA v0.10.3
OS: Win10
CPU: Intel i9-13900k
GPU: RTX 3090 24gb

UPDATE
I'm able to launch the game by setting the save type to 1mb manually, but mGBA keeps defaulting to autodetecting (even with the option unchecked) and setting it to 512kb for Emerald. How can I permanently change it to launch with 1mb for Emerald?

autodetect is setting 1mbit on 0.10.3 for me.

probably another weird case to attribute to faulty 13/14 gen processors.

Seriously Squall? Blaming the CPU?

Please upload the zip generated by File > Report bug. I suspect something might be wrong with the dump.

I can do that! It is launching correctly now though, I messed around with the order of saving the game overrides and now it actually launches as 1mb save type. I can't replicate the issue at this time, would a bug report file still show anything?

@Tagger102 Please do. It'll give me some info about the ROM in question at least.

Hopefully this helps. Game launches properly today as well... Not sure why it wasn't defaulting to 1mb before.

Oh, you need to generate the report while the game is loaded.

1f1c08fb is one of the known trusted dumps,

would have been great to see the hash while it was white screening.
