VBA Pokémon Red Save Issue

I've downloaded the VisualBoyAdvance GBA emulator, and the Pokémon Red rom, and have since been encountering problems saving the game. I used the default options, and tried the file save feature, as well as the in-game save, and the save-state slots. I also tried to chang the save options. For example, I switched the flash from 64K to 128K, and I have also changed from Automatic to EEPROM to SRAM to Flash, and everything in between. Still my attempts have been in vain. Can anybody help me save the game?

download another rom

I don't think the ROM is the issue. I've tried this with a quite a few others, and it still would not let me save.

Make sure the rom isn't write-protected. (Meaning read-only).
I had the same problem a while back, so I just switched to the Bgb emulator and the save states worked fine in that one with Pokemon.
