TheZZAZZGlitch's April Fools 2019 event does not work #1550

You can read about it hear if you haven't heard of it: https://zzazzdzz.github.io/fools2019/

It can still be played using the custom server linked in the page! It uses glitches and exploits to take control of gameplay from a vanilla copy of Pokemon Crystal to create an entirely unique game, using nothing more then a series of custom save files! After having some trouble with the in browser emulator, I decided to try it on the best and most accurate GB emulator I knew! But surprisingly, mGBA caused the custom save to pull up a message saying the emulation wasn't accurate enough to play!

Normally, I wouldn't be the type to bring up obscure issues, but in this case, there's an open source github for all the custom save files! Presumably, whatever isn't being emulated properly can be figured out by seeing how the event builds and runs it custom saves.

While mGBA is the best and most accurate GBA emulator, it falls a bit short in the GB/C department ;) I have participated in this event but didn't have any such problems. Then again I'm not sure if I tested it with mGBA, but it works in BGB. It very well could be something that relies on emulator-specific behavior. This save hasn't been verified on hardware, to my knowledge. Thanks for reporting this bug, anyhow.
