Yeah, so I thought I might make this topic to make note of any solutions. I thought it had enough of a broader problem spectrum than just posting it in individual flashcart/emulation topics.Emulators:no$gbaUse the screen-enlarging program NGzoom to fix the graphics. It can be found here: http://www.dgemu.com...ams-no-gba.htmlIdeasIf you want to know how to run the game with ideas, then read this post for more info:http://www.dgemu.com...w...t&p=4141839The remainder of this post refers to Flashcarts:I've scanned the GBATemp thread on this, and it basically goes along the lines of this:It freezes in the cutscene after your first 'battle'. With the guy with the black hat (Beat).M3 Real, R4: Update to latest firmware usually fixes it.AceKard, DS-Xtreme, M3 Perfect: Freezes all the time. No matter what option you use to write to it. Use the below workarounds.Recommended: Alternatively, as a more general solution, Download the save file starting at Day 2 (covert save game types here. If you're desperate to play Day 1, on http://www.theworldendswithyou.com/Edit: Also, a japanese 'fix', scroll down a few posts or click hereEdit 2: A rather... strange solution. But hey, it works.Either that or wait until there's a more official fix (from your flashcart manufacturer). Or wait for the US version and see how that goes. Those are your options.Edit:6/29/08 - Add solution for playing on Ideas Emulator as reported by PapaSurf. GBATEST4/20/09 - Added a solution for no$gba- shadowmanwkp

M3 REAL - freezes on the opening video when two characters run past each other, hopefully a new firmware is released to fix this problem.

Okay, so there may be a 'solution' of sorts.Which involves the Japanese version (1240 - Subarashiki Kono Sekai).Edit: 1. Unpack the EU and JAP games, switch the audio files of the EU with the Jap, and repack using DSLazy.However, there are conflicting reports to if this works all the time. (Tested, did not work for me)2. Play the Japanese version up until day 2, keep your save, and use it for the Eu version.

Keep closing and opening the DS during the cutscene. Keep doing it until past the crash-point (80% that the game won't crash)

...Don't ask me, I just find these things.But if it does work, (It does work) Kudos to them for being weird enough to try it out.

Actually, correct me if i am wrong but the game never did freeze. Like the selection to start the game, if you look on youtube, you will see a symbol on the top left hand corner but there is a black circle there ( at least for me ). I was only able to see the intro and when he woke up, i could only see him and other people are black in colour. I think the emulator could not visualise the grapics. If you can measure the option from the one on youtube and your emulator and click, your story will continue but you will not be able to see anything. Kinda pointless.

If it was anti-piracy then it wouldn't run on emulators AND on flashcarts, it's just like MoD screen at FFCC:RoF it worked perfectly on emulators, but it couldn't run on flashcarts because after like 30 mins the game showed a screen when you left an area that said: "thank you for playing!" (you also see 2 moogles and that's why it got the nickname Moogles of Death). But when new firmware came out for flashcarts this was fixed. So I think it's a graphic bug, just like in pokémon ranger: you see 2nd layer sprites on top sometimes (like watching the logo at the title screen or when talking to people).

No, it's not antipiracy. It's just comaptibility issues.

it doesn't really freeze. it's just that the graphics pretty back out all sprites other than the backgrounds. you can still continue the battle by hitting select, but if it's ur first time, you would know what to do with it...and on that note, the battle screen is completely blacked out, but it still takes imput, and if you hit start and hit in the middle of the bottom screen, it continues, up to the next battle. other than that, yeah, the game is unplayable, but it doesn't FREEZE as you said. you can still see all the cutscenes...

...Are we talking about the same thing?Thunderhog, you're talking about something in battle, and I'm talking about the cutscene out of battle.Kyx, That black circle is the Continue option. The first option to save is after the cutscene I've described. And, in general, there are no graphical glitches on flashcarts.

... I can't believe that actually works.*speechless*Anyways, yeah, the US version is out too. And although my opening post is based on the EU version, there are reports that the exact same freeze occurs. So for now, I'll assume the same problem has the same solution(s).
