Weird bug in Pocket Bomberman Anonymous 01/28/19 (Mon) 23:58:09 No.7660

Hey /vr/, maybe you can help me out with a really weird issue.

I love Pocket Bomberman. It's probably within my top 50 games ever, but here's the problem - the game locks up, constantly. I've tried different emulators, both versions of the game (it was released on both GB and GBC), and even different hardware setups, but about 95% of the time I start a new game it freezes less than 5 minutes in. Why is this? It can't have been a bug in the original version of the game, can it?

I've downloaded different versions the ROM from numerous websites over the years, but I've never found one that didn't have this issue. I can't believe it's just faulty programming in the original game. Has it just been poorly dumped? Has a curse been placed on me for a life of excess and greed? Please, someone, give me closure.

Use the rom from the smokemonster pack here:

I just played for about 10 minutes with no lockups on an everdrive on a GBA. Seems to work fine. If that doesn't work under emulation, then it's an emulation issue.

Thanks for the help, but even with that ROM I can't get past level 3 without the game freezing on OpenEmu. I've never played it on original hardware, so you're probably right in thinking it's an emulation error.

Ok, I've confirmed it must be an emulation issue. SameBoy emu has the same issue regardless of rom used. The 2nd place speedrun was done through an emulator though, so keep trying emu's, you're bound to find the one that works.
