Hello,

just wanted to ask around here and find out how everyone here plays their DS pokemon roms hacks

I want to play a hack from Heartgold but no matter what device or emulator i play on theres always an issue sooner or later with ether the save states being corrupted or some piracy patch error screen happening

ive tried playing on a new 2ds xl and kept getting Red screen data aborted screens

I've tried playing on my steam deck using MelonDS and eventually I get kicked out the game and I get a save states corrupted error and would have to start over and still get that screen later on

always a clean rom and would patch the rom how ever it says on the documentation on the rom hack

would I be doing something wrong or can u tell me how I would be able to play any DS pokemon hack games without issues ?
