My bad, i thought i would take the easy way by launching it directly from the r4 menu. Did as you instructed and now it works. Many thanks.
That game has "hicode" in a very high address for the hicode-cache to normally reach (0x08FF... or so) and it needs special treatment, which will be improved later.
For now you need to build GBARunner3 hicode-cache with a base address shift to 0x08F00000 in order to make Mother 1 to work properly, but 2 will stop to work.
I would like to leave the instructions to make such builds but since Base Shift Addresses are still a PoC, we should wait for later improvements to avoid confusion.

i am curious, are there performance difference when using a 3ds compared to a dsi?
do you think gbarunner3 would be better than mgba for 3ds?(especially the og 3ds)
edit; so far i am loving gbarunner3 on my dsi xl, it feels perfect. also colors are accurate, unlike gbarunner2, using simulate gba colors, darkens the display by adding a black filter.
though in gbarunner3 i couldn't light up the bottom display or use any settings, is this the plan for it or only for pre release?
edit2: on dsi using gbarunner3, mario kart has serious screen flickering issues and very noticeable frame drops when there are mushroom effects or too much going on, that wasn't the case with gbarunner2 even on ds lite.

What has changed/not worked/worked on GBARunner3 for me so far (DSi):
Played Chapters 1-5 in Mother 3 (English Patch), stuck at midway boss in Thunder Tower so haven't tested everything but is running great so far (man that game is so good)
Kuru Kuru Kurin now has a fixed gamemode selection screen
Alien Hominid boots to a white screen instead of fully working without cache in GBARunner2
Trogdor GBA (https://jeremyelkayam.itch.io/trogba) works entirely unlike where it boots to a black screen on GBARunner2

It's actually the commit before that (support for gba irqs during rom reads) that improved many games. But yeah many improvements. Flicker in f-zero and Mario kart super circuit is also gone for example. And the mother 3 textboxes no longer flicker.The latest commit that support for out-of-bounds rom reads seems to have sound glitches fixed in a lot of games!
Such as Rhythm Tengoku and zelda minish cap. These games are almost perfect now!
I've tested the last commit (handling gba irqs during rom fetches) downloaded from github action page for 53-allow-gba-irqs-during-rom-fetch branch. And I still noticed some noises in zelda minish cap. So I think it has something to do with the latest commit.
Anyway, I'm glad it is fixed now. I'm having fun playing zelda minish cap. Thank you.
I've opened a PR that adds fixes and improvements to a bunch of games (especially useful for regular DS models), you can see the full changelog in the commit description.
You can try those changes by downloading the new files and putting them inside `/_gba/configs`

I don't know if it is my setup. Chromium web browsers don't show the download link in actions page of GitHub of GBARunner3. Works fine with Firefox, tho.
I had to sign in to download it. The link isn't clickable otherwise.
Does GBARunner2 support wifi multiplayer linking with 3-4 players and not just 2? If so, how would you do it? I can't seem to get it to work, tried writing slave1, slave 2 in the config file, and can still only get 2 players.
Damn, that's alright though. I understand it's an experimental feature, but will GBARunner2 ever implement 3-4 player linking? Or would GBARunner3 implement it in the future?
Wanna thank @Gericom for this wonderfull work, latest Cache-hicode branch tested and even Emerald R.O.W.E is working like real cart(EZ Omega). Gbarunner 2 crash every time you try to use the bag but not on Runner 3 Hicode. However theres a bug that hangs any Pokemon game every time you do a soft reset (Start + Select + B + A). I know its still in development. Please consider it as a bug report.
Hi-code and RFU branchs are so amazing, specialy now that the prices of a real Cart is so high and the Wi-Fi adapters also hard to find and expensive.
