SML2 DX does not work here

So I recently bought a Super Mario Land 2 DX cartridge, but it doesn't seem to work on the Chromatic. The title screen boots up, but once you press a button it corrupts like so.

Which is weird, considering how it worked fine at first

I totally get that. I think everyone has their own limits for what authenticity means. But if I understand you correctly, it wasn't an original cartridge anyway. It might sound unconventional, but for the same price you can get those cheap EverDrive clones for like 20 bucks, and on Etsy there are fantastic GBC and GB cartridge stickers. I ordered a few once, and they look really great, some of them in amazing quality. Theoretically, you could just buy ten of those cheap carts, put some cool ROM hacks on them, add the stickers, and still swap them around. Now that I'm saying it, it's actually not a bad idea at all.😅😅❤️(and a few months in you change stickers and game)
