It doesn't seem to be playing nice with my everdrive on my Gameboy color keeps crashing with a kernel error or just locks up in and around that first save after getting the jump power

What everdrive are you using?

Sounds like your everdrive is having trouble with creating or loading a save file. It's likely the wrong values are being assigned to locations in RAM and the game is crashing.

I've had this happen in the past when using corrupted save files or save files/save states that are for different versions of the same GB game (almost identical data but memory addresses might be in different locations).

I assume you have saved/loaded a saved game before this crash occurs. 

You might test your ROM on a PC using BGB or SameBoy etc. To see if your everdrive is corrupting the save file?

Let me know how you go.

Cheers.

Its the x3 everdrive. I haven't had issues with it before but I have only used it on a couple of pokemon games and my own game and it's sat unused for a year or so now so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the everdrive. It doesn't seem to crash on a GBA like it does on GBC but the save doesn't work another reason to think it is probably the everdrive. Runs fine on my 3ds thru twilight menu so that's where I'm playing it. Great game just wanted to share in case it was an issue with the game

Cool, glad to know you can play it on another device at least. Thanks for letting me know. I'll make a note of this see if anyone has issues with crashes on the x3, too.
