Whenever I try to play a GBA Pokémon game (via VBA-M), I always seem to end up with at least one Bad Egg, due to the overly-aggressive checksum these games feature. No future games have ever had data security this fierce, and it's incredibly disheartening to see one of my Pokémon replaced by that thing.

Is it possible to disable that stupid checksum, so I can play without having to worry?

Nope it's a good anti-cheat measure there

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...
