So, for a long time I was using some old version of mGBA dating before August of this year.
I gave myself a challenge of playing MOTHER 1+2 and MOTHER 3 using mGBA on 3DS homebrew and using the save slots to bookmark progress.
In MOTHER 3 a weird oddity occurred where every time I'd go to write save data to the SAV using the in-game save menu, it'd just freeze right as it said "Saving..." and nothing got written to the SAV.
Turns out if you load a state beforehand, it just kinda crashes... and you have to hold the 3DS power button to get out.
Using New 3DS on whatever version can be "haxxed" with N3DS_U_27648_usa_9221.bin although I'm not sure if an issue like this is unique to any system version or system specs.
Bringing this up because the ending of the game writes data to the SAV which froze the game for me one time I got past the last boss.
