It seems it's been awhile so perhaps you've already found a solution to this, but I believe the reason it's not working is the same reason that SHA256 doesn't work on Everdrives - the core doesn't know to actually read beyond the S&K ROM data without the physical lock-on being present. While I can't test this with a Pocket until Tuesday, I imagine the same fix that gets it working on Everdrives would work here - edit the ROM bit at address 000003B0 Offset 05 from a "01" to a "02" in a Hex editor.
Just to follow-up, I was able to verify that my personal dump of Knuckles in Sonic 2 (which shares that SHA256 value before implementing the bit change described above) does work as expected. Make the change and you should be good to go.
The rom with the SHA256 of: 3da827d319a60b6180e327c37e1fe5d448746c1644cce01ada1f2788d1e182f4 refuses to boot. The beta rom with the SHA256 of: f1fc929cd79b56bf83732b036cc15bdeda9bcbd2ce9ea07759db41541d375864 does run however.
