Gen3 mGBA Initial Seed Bot Gives Up Too Early #7

I've been trying to use the Initial Seed bot to hit a specific seed, but what I find is the bot will try for a while, then it will just stop trying on some random seed and the title screen will go back to the intro demo that it normally plays when you leave the game alone.

The only thing I've noticed is it tends to stop on 0x70xx seeds but they aren't the same seed. I've been shooting for 0x91B. This is what I have in the config:

local botTargetInitialSeeds = {0x91B}

I feel like it's pretty straightforward. I've updated my mGBA to the latest dev release as well, so I'm not sure what else to try.

Also, not sure if I can tag this on, but it would be great if the bot would pause the game or take a savestate when it finds the right initial seed. Looking at the code, it seems to just display a message and let the game play, which allows your advances to tick up and would cause you to miss your target advance if you aren't sitting right there when the initial seed hits.
