It still doesn't work, even on Bizhawk. Weird. I guess I'll start over and see if it works on a relatively new save.
Edit: That didn't work either. I wonder why?

If it matters, Werster uses Gambatte.

(Note that werster using Bizhawk is equivalent to werster using Gambatte, as Bizhawk uses Gambatte as its GBC core)

(Not exactly… Windows 8 uses Windows NT as its core, but they're not very equivalent, are they?)

Are you sure? He said on stream that he uses bizhawk.

Yes, they are. The only reason they wouldn't be is if you thought all NT = NT 4. Which it isn't.
NT 4 got developed further to make Win2k (NT 5.0), which got developed further to make XP (NT 5.1), then S2k3 (NT 5.2), then Vista (NT 6.0), then Win7 (NT 6.1), then Win 8 (NT 6.2), then Win 8.1 (NT 6.3).
Not to mention NT 4 got developed from NT 3.51, which got developed from NT 3.5, which got developed from NT 3.1. Which was the first version of NT. :)

And on a different one he said he uses Gambatte.

Let me clear it up. Bizhawk is a multi-emulator designed to have a common interface, set of TASing tools and so on for emulators for many games. As such, it has a 'core' for every single console it currently supports. For example, the 'core' for N64 is mupenplus. The 'core' for GBC is Gambatte. So, when you use Bizhawk and emulate a GBC game you are using Gambatte via proxy through Bizhawk.

Sounds like a very good use for my Silver cart with a dead battery.
(…and also a good punishment for erasing a 10-year-old save file two years ago!)

From what I've heard, this glitch doesn't work the same on Silver. Apparantly you get some sort of slowpoke hybrid or something along those lines, instead of ????? (00)
