[/quote] Your rom either requires a patch to be applied or you need a different version of Visualboy to play it correctly.
Assuming you are referring to "Pokemon Ruby"
it requires a patch

If you still have troubles playing after you have applied the patch use a different version of visualboy advance
VBA 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 for the white screen
