  • Config > Customize > General > "Pause when menu activated" is unchecked
  • After starting the game, in GBA make sure Core is set to mGBA
  • GBA > Settings > Sync Settings, set "Skip BIOS" to "False" (to have the same behaviour as console)
  • to simulate a dead battery: GBA > Settings > Sync Settings, set "RTC" to False (BizHawk v2.6.3+)

GBA BIOS is not included, as it's illegal to share these online
