Unless you want to spend a lot of money on a hard copy, then use an emulator. I got all the GBA+ games from before Covid, so I didn’t pay a whole lot. Though my retarded ass ruined Emerald because I didn’t clean the chip surface well enough when I went to change the battery.
I’m playing Diamond in Emulator. I replaced my starter with Swinub. I had my computer take a shit so I should start on my new computer.
