The top part of the screen doesn't receive the visual effects (blur when the mountain is shaking), and when Dialga and Palkia appear, they get trimmed off, such that only their feet show. Here are some pictures using the Software 3D renderer (on melonDS version 0.9).

With OpenGL, the other part of the screen additionally turns blue.

I tested it using Desmume with the same ROM/save file, and it works.

These are the portals which I assume are related in some way; which melonDS doesn't load in

I've been playing through the game with a couple friends, and they experienced the same thing on their systems, so I think it isn't the ROM or my PC acting up. If this is something you'd like to look into, please let me know if there's any other information I could provide that would help. I can also provide a savestate of just before the cutscene starts, but if possible, I would prefer sending it privately.

Unfortunately, it's harder to get to through save file, because there's a battle between the last point you can save at and the cutscene. I tried setting it up so it's easy to go through quickly. Unsure how familiar with Pokemon you are, so just in case, here's what I generally did for the battle when getting back to the cutscene-
Take a step forward to start the battle
1. Flare Blitz left Bronzor
2. ThunderPunch left Golbat
3. Close Combat left Skuntank
4. Close Combat right Bronzor
5. Close Combat right Purugly
6. ThunderPunch right Golbat
There's a little RNG involved for if a Reflect gets set up. Sorry for the inconvenience with that. Please let me know if there's anything else I could do to help!

are there any known issues/specific gba roms this may or may not work with?

I got this working with fire red on route 201 in platinum, got a growlithe, so I know it was working. I just tried this with Ruby and I'm on iron island trying to get a mawile and it's been an hour. I can't even recall how many encounters I've had, around 70 and none. so I'm just wondering if I'm being really unlucky or if it might have issues detecting the rom. It would be nice if we could get some in emulator confirmation that the rom is really loaded. I just opened the ruby rom first, then opened platinum same as I did for fire red.

After about 2 hours of testing half a dozen different roms, I would say that ruby isn't working at all in the same way. I went to look for mawile in iron island and I tried sol rock near lake verity, and neither one of them showed up after dozens and dozens of encounters.

I use the 'Migrate from X' option on the main screen to see if the GBA is recognized for dual slot or not, and that seems to work. I tested with Ruby, and was able to find Solrock at Lake Verity.

If you don't see the 'Migrate from Ruby' option on the main screen, I think that means the save file attached to the game is insufficient. I believe you need to have saved at least one time in the GBA game (could definitely be wrong, but that's what's worked for me). I tried deleting my FireRed save file and using the one autogenerated- it no longer appeared as a migration option, and dual slot encounters stopped occurring. I loaded FireRed in mGBA, saved at the first chance, loaded everything back up in melonDS, and both the migration option and dual slot encounters started working again.
