I am at the part where you are stopped by Pork Trooper and he realizes you aren't the commander when he uses Bufferizer it freezes. I have a M3 Perfect MiniSD and I thought that might be the problem. I put it on my PSP and it did the same thing. Then, I put it back on my PC and played it on VBA-M to no avail. It has freezed before on my GBM with the M3 Perfect in different areas but it would always go past the next time I started it. Everytime that Bufferizer comes along, though, it freezes. I tried putting him to sleep or doing something that would keep him from using it but nothing works. I loaded the game with the M3 Game Manager and it defaulted to Hardware Support 1. I didn’t change it and I have played halfway through the game with little problem. Is there any thing I can do to fix this or something I could do to him to keep him from using that move? I really don’t want to have to start over.

I’m think he means that VBA-M didn’t work either.

I originally played it on my Gameboy Micro with the M3 Perfect. I moved the rom and save to my PSP. When neither of those worked I moved the save back to my PC and tried it there.

Oh, I’m sorry. I understand now. The only thing I did was fight him. I have it saved right before you crash the Pork Bean on Fassad's banana peels. I copied the .dat from the M3 Perfect and used Save Transform to turn it into a .sav. I am not using any kind of savestate at the moment. The only setting I have changed on VBA-M is for the controller. I got to the fight and he used Bufferizer and it froze. I can’t go anywhere else now because they have the tanks blocking the Clayman factory. I fought the couple of types of enemies that are right before you get to him and had no troubles with freezing.

Yeah, I have now tried going back with a clean rom and patching it again. I played it on VBA-M again and used the old save. I went through the fight, he used Bufferizer and no freeze this time. I beat him and it went on. Though now I don’t know how I can transfer the save back to my M3 Perfect. I want to play the whole thing on my Gameboy Micro; I just can’t get the save to work again.

Thanks for all your help. I’m pretty sure now that the M3 Game Manager did something to the rom when I transferred it. That’s the only game I ever had a problem with on the M3 Perfect though. It works fine now since I copied it straight to the SD without going through Game Manager. I guess I’m going to finish it on the PSP because I can’t get the save to work again on the GBM.

I see you’re a fan of One Piece. I’ve been watching that for a long time now. I hope it never ends.
