I've been trying to figure this problem out on my own for a couple months while also being preoccupied on making the Vervis Region, but I have a loading problem.
When I change the name of the Pokemon Emerald game itself to Pokemon Absolute, then play the rom, the game does not load.
Is it like this for all Pokemon ROMs, or is the Pokemon Emerald I found corrupt?

How do I make it so my Pokemon GBA File is called "Pokemon Absolute Version" and also loads the game? (Is there something I am missing?)

What do you mean you changed the name? Like just rename the Emerald ROM or the header? Can you be more specific?

The file name.

I renamed it from "Pokemon - Emerald Version (UE).gba" to "Pokemon - Absolute Version.gba", but the game doesn't load when I change it to anything other than the original name. I can change it back to the original and it's fine.

It should be fine if you just rename the file maybe it has something to do with the VBA version you're using if you are using VBA ofc. :/

Aha! Thanks.
I figured it'd be something silly that I overlooked. ^^"

Now onto learning some scripting! :'D
