[ 20.679477] Core <Critical> core/core.cpp:Load:298: Failed to load ROM (Error 1)
That looks like a badly built ROM. I would suggest a redump. Please refer to our game dumping guides:

Dumping Game Cartridges
Dumping Installed Titles

Make sure your GM9 is up to date and that you have enough free storage space available on your SD-Card to perform the dump.

  2. [ 72.809372] Core <Critical> core/core.cpp:Load:297: Failed to load ROM (Error 1)!
    This usually refers to a badly built ROM. You should redump your game if this was a base dump. If you edited this ROM, check whether your base-game works.
