Pokemon Ranger

I just downloaded Pokemon Ranger (the first one) and everytime I get through the very long boring into and finally reach the first save point it freezes. Can someone please help me fix this problem or find a better rom?

The RomU one is the best rom dump in the internet. The problem may be on your flashcart or download. Check out stickied threads in here https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?board=16.0 :) Pokemon Ranger works fine with my R4 without any patch if I remember well.

when i get the professor back to his home town it freezes after it says mission complete i have an r4 can anyone help please?
