    I'm using an R4 but I'm running the current ysmenu firmware. The game loads fine and I just started the second chapter after a scene transition the screen goes black and hangs with some audio hang as well. I've tried patching the rom using dslazy to replace the arm7 file within but that didn't do much except shave off 5 megs of the file size. Any ideas that could help me continue this game. Thanks in advance.

    It's got to be a problem with the ROM. I'm having the same trouble. Ah well... gonna have to wait...

    Right, forgot to mention that I have a CycloDS, so it isn't effecting just one Slot 1 device, it's getting them all, so that's why I say it's a ROM problem. Can we ask someone to dump the ROM again?

    It's unlikely to be the ROM, it's most likely that the emulation isn't up to scratch. Will probably need firmware updates all around then.

    Hmm, don't think so - a few of my lucky Japanese-reading friends have the (J) version working just fine. Unless, of course, this new copy protection is only for the English version of the game - but I find that highly unlikely =X

    Ugh, same problem here lol. 2nd chapter, after going into *the place* (don't want to tell anything just in case of spoilers lol* goes into a black panel with audio hanging. Using TTNDS. Darn, I was getting hooked to the game story lol. It's been a while since i have played a game that has hooked me only for the story xD

    People always find a way around these things, we just have to wait a couple of days.

    Yes lol, we'll have to wait for while. At the moment it has a Phoenix Wright feeling to it. Check stuff up, till you gather everything, and then end the chapter \o/. Still, don't see too much replay value. But again. I'm so hooked to the storyline, even if it doesn't have a breakthrough mechanic ( from what I have played till crash )

    It's not copy protection, it's game features. Occasionally they update the CPU instructions which you probably know as ARM7. When flash carts then try to do their things they fall over the foreign code and will need a patch released. Which is also the reason the ARM7 trick sometimes work, you replace the new instructions with the old ones and hope that it won't mess up the game.

    Some guy over on GBATemp has posted in the Time Hollow thread saying that he bought the game himself, dumped it and it works just fine.

    If he's to be believed it must just be a bad dump.
