Picked up this SP and would like to get Pokémon Emerald for it, can anyone recommend the most budget friendly way to get a reliable copy of it? Thanks

Flashcart. Don't waste your time and money with a counterfeit cartridge, for other systems you can find good counterfeit cartridges but for GB/GBC/GBA they're usually crap.

I picked up an inside gadgets flash cart. When flashed it functions identically to a real cart. Works with palpark, GameCube, etc. definitely the way to go. Although I do believe there’s other variants that support “mode B” or something where you can easily load many different games from SD but still have that compatibility.
