If you're using OpenEmu, I'm guessing you're on a Mac? https://sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files/OSX-Wx/ Try this out and see if it works.

There's an event in that chapter that most emulators aside from VBA can't get through. Tact's seen trouble with Higan, MGBA, and MyBoy all at that spot. Install VBA, rename your save's file extension to .sav if it's not already, and you should be able to get past that just fine.
