DS development > Running my own GBA homebrew on DS

Hi all
I have a problem running a GBA pong game I made on my DS hardware (it does run in emulators on my pc though).
The problem is that when the GBA mode starts and there is the GBA logo, instead of the "NINTENDO" small logo that's supposed to be showing below the GBA logo, I get a line with weird signals and then the DS freezes and the only option there is to do is to turn the DS off and restart it.

I figured the problem is either a CRC check or my game's header that are wrong but I don't know what the exact problem is and how to fix it...

Thank you all for helping ;)

devkitARM should have come with a program called 'gbafix.exe'. Drag the .gba file on top of it.
