Mario Kart R Advance (rom hack) doesn't work on Interpreter (Steam PC/Wii), only works on Dynarec #253

As the title says, the romhack Mario Kart R Advance 2.0 (romhack of Mario Kart Super Circuit) doesn't work on Interpreter core, including all platforms which have Interpreter core only (Wii, etc.)

In Interpreter, the romhack has random freezing and crashes, and sometimes it even crashes the entire emulator, resulting in automatic exit. On Dynarec this doesn't happen.

The romhack only works if the BIOS is set to "Built-in BIOS", if on "Official BIOS" it softlocks on the speed (cc) selection. For trigger this issue, turn off Dynamic Recompiler (set it to OFF) for use Interpreter core, and load the game and do anything you want to play in SINGLE PLAYER game (didn't test other modes). It has random crashes.

Tested on the following RetroArch frontends: on Steam (Windows PC), and on Nintendo Wii. The version of gpSP i'm using is v1.0.0 4caf7a1.

Please fix it so i can play this hack fullspeed on Wii and on platforms with Interpreter only, thanks ;)

PS: i will attach the patch file in .bps (use Flips for patch) for patch it on a Mario Kart - Super Circuit (USA).gba rom. Mario Kart R Advance 2.0 (USA) (Better Colors).bps.zip

PS 2: for your information, the vanilla unpatched game (Mario Kart - Super Circuit) works perfectly fine on Interpreter and Dynarec on gpSP.
