'fraid I've got some bad news, boys. I still can't get the game to work properly for me. I'm starting to think that it's an emulation issue, rather than what I originally thought. The game lasts for all of three seconds before totally freezing on me in GB Player; I'm lucky if I get to part of the intro. For the sake of comparison, I've tried it on my other systems as well. On a mono GB, the game freezes and just shows a single horizontal line on the screen (like what shows when you turn the system off, though this stays on screen) right after bootup. There's the occasional freezing/glitched resetting on a GBC and GBA, though it's random when it happens (if at all).
On top of that, there's also this:
The board for each game is shown below their respective cases. Something I came across trying to switch the guts out is how the board is laid out. For this and Pokemon Ruby, the batery is placed down in the bottom-right corner rather than the top. Dunno why that is. I also checked Digimon Saphire and Yellow Jade, but Saphire has the battery in its normal place, while Yellow Jade has no battery whatsoever. If they all were made by New Game, then it looks like they changed their manufacturing method when they started producing black carts. What I'm getting at is when I tried to switch the boards, it doesn't fit properly due to the bizzare layout, and I've tried it on a good number of cases. I can provide images of their boards as well if this means anything, because I sure as hell don't know. Still, rather odd considering that every other game I know off doesn't have the different layout.
So since footage seems out the window (at least for the moment), I jotted down the intro cutscene's text for some "lulz". Everything is laid out just like in the game, spelling and all.
Blue is the human player's text, while
Red is their partner Digimon's text.
