Having trouble with The Sims 2: Pets for the GBA

Hi guys, I'd like to ask for some help with the game. You see, the game keeps flickering when I start it on the VBA. Any suggestions?
Game version: US
Emulator: VBA 1.72
Thanks! ^^

You need the "latest" (actually the last official) version of VBA for this problem, VBA 1.8 beta 3, get it here

And it still could just be something bad with your emulation settings.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Actually anand, emulation settings doesn't have anything to do with the SIMS 2 Pets GBA ROM problem, it's really a version issue.Here are two threads on the same problem:https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php/topic,127.0.html

I said "and it still could just be your emulation settings".
