SNES9x GX Question (Earthbound)

I read on GameFAQs that pirated versions of Earthbound will freeze right before the final boss because of code that checks for a special chip in the cartridge. If it dosen't detect that chip, the game will freeze and all save data will be erased. My friend has a pirated ROM of this game. (He didn't know it was illegal to do this until I told him.) I don't know if SNES9x GX will bypass/emulate that chip, and I just wanted to save him some disapointment for when he gets to the final boss.

we cant help you with illegall roms and i dont thinnk it is possible to emulate a chip in the snes just yet...

Ok, thank you. Anyway, even if the ROM wasn't illegal, it would still freeze.

We can't help you with the playing of the game, but all I can say is if the game was insanely hard the whole way through, you're set up for disappointment

I've played through EB on snes9x GX without the anti-piracy "hard mode"
