Characters appearing on top of text boxes?

Does anyone know the issue here? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, I can't act like I know whats going on. 
For the record my rom is 1.0, and it is headered.

also sorry, I have no idea how to successfully embed pics

I'm guessing you're using ZSnes? Because I've only seen that in ZSnes. Use bsnes or snes9x instead.

Yeah, that's a problem with whatever emulator you're using. The battle code does a lot of processing when the screen reaches the beginning of the menu area at scanline 160 (see C1/B007 and C2/EA54) but some emulators don't sync the CPU with the screen output very well. bsnes is especially good at accurately emulating CPU timing.

I am currently using snes9x.

Thanks for the input! I'll try out bsnes!
