Hey. I recently bought this game and am trying to play on my GBA SP using an EZ Flash Air cart. The game tends to freeze unexpectedly in certain parts of the game. Are there any patches that can be applied? I might just play on PC, as I wanted to get some footage for a video, but love the form factor of my SP and the rumble

We haven't tried the game on the EZ Flash Air, but maybe you could try the following things and see if any of them fix it:
1. Make sure there are no ADDONs (reset/cheat) enabled in the EZ Flash menu, as these will attempt to patch the game, and could break it (such patches are generally intended for games made with the Nintendo SDK, which Goodboy isn't - I do believe the EZ Flash team added support for our game at some point, but not sure how stable it is!)
2. Make sure you're on the latest firmware (Firmware 3/Kernel 1.04). https://www.ezflash.cn/download/
3. Don't unzip the ROM directly onto the SD card - this has caused issues on our own EZ Flash devices. Instead unzip the rom to your PC first and then copy it across.
If you're still having issues, please also try holding A + B + Down + Left while the game boots up, to view the ROM checksum. It should show '159FF629' - if it shows anything else then this means the ROM might have been corrupted or had patches applied.
