Phantasy Star Zero freezing on a white screen before the opening credits

i seem to have the same problem with my AceKard2i with AKAIO v1.4.1 firmware (and I have used the DannyKard fix for my DSi) and it loads to a blank white screen and no further. I tried the Narin cheat code patch and that didn't work either... any thoughts?
,
even if i cant get the jap version to work so i can play around with it before the US release, i hope that the US version will work for me, i love the PSO series!! help is much appreciated...

 

i have dstti and it works without any patch

i heard once u start the game, stay on the main menue for a few second (dont rush into the game) and it'll work. It works for me i guess

 

no that's not the problem... i cant even get in to the game, not even the home menu. it loads the rom and then as soon as it launches to a white screen the game freezes..... it never displays anything...

 

try different patches to the rom, i never had to deal with this problem so i really wouldnt knwo
