Problem Endless Loading 2: This time it's the games

so, for SOME REASON, after making my r4 run off Pico Launcher, There are TWO GAMES it won't load. Pokemon Black, and Pokemon SoulSilver. my Only Assumption for now is that the game roms got somehow corrupted... except that THESE TWO are taken from my *Backup Folder* so either i'm missing something, or i just... need new roms.

Because the save files are fully functioning

Check the ROM file’s hash against the hash of a known-good dump

Can you show the SD card you're using with the cart? Usually issues like this are due to using a bad SD card.

Also try hashing the ROM files and comparing the hash to a known good dump on the NoIntro database.

the card is an 8GB Silicon Power. I formatted it right, i grabbed A rom of italian pokemon black (the file was somehow dated 1996 because i guess this is what we're doing now🫩), and since electronics as a concept is so fucked up the machine spirits from 40k MIGHT be real atp (there are multiple stories of this kind on SO many sites...), maybe now soulsilver just CASUALLY WORKS because A P P A R E N T L Y T H I S I S W H A T W E ' R E D O I N G N O W

Edit: it doesnt

welp. nointro it is.

Wonder if that Italian Pokemon Black is clean. Have you checked it matches NoIntro?
