I can't get it past the 'Creating a File' screen. I run it on DeSmuME; if anyone could give me a Save State just past that screen or some other solution, I'd be grateful...
I'm not sure if would work or not, But you could try the latest DeSmuME SVN r4189 build http://www.emucr.com/search/label/NDS?&max-results=12
