On my Acekard 2i with the patched file, I get two white screens.
With the game unpatched, I get the game to load but it doesn't continue past the mode select screen.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong (besides playing the game before release date of course). I don't believe I have AKAIO on my card.
If it's good which I believe it will be, I'll definitely get the game at retail just not on release date. $40 is a lot for a portable game.
