    not having any problems, the AP on the (J) version kicked in about every 10 min. and ive made it to 27 min with Acekard 2i with AKAIO 1.6, so i think its exactly the same as the (J) version, which is already fixed by the AKAIO team.

    I've heard people play it fine on 1.6 RC1.

    When it comes to freezes then always do a reformat of your memory card first, it might be in need of a reset to optimize the write speed.

    On NO$GBA v. 2.6a, it froze once you got done picking a character, name, etc. Black screen.

    I think it's a bit early to rule out any card for the freezes. They were completely random in the JP versions, so I'd expect the same here.

    Surprisingly, it works fine on R4DS v 1.18 without YSMenu!

    EDIT: I've been playing for about 30 mins without a single freeze.

    M3DS Real - Cannot save. Does get past name screens and allows you to play the game. Same problem as Nocash's backup memory error.

    Acekard 2i (HWID 81) with AKAIO 1.6 RC1, loads properly, no clue on the in-freezes yet 'cause I've yet to go past the title screen, just wanted to confirm I'm not getting a white screen.
