Hi, I am a big fan of Kingdom Hearts and recently got the US Rom of 358-2 days. Unfortunately, whenever I click on the game, it goes straight to a non-responsive black screen and stays there.
I can still use soft-reset from their though.
I have tries patching it with Lunar IPS, and some hex editor with a name like XVI13 or something, but no help.
I have seen on youtube etc. people getting the rom to work, but I can't get it to start, please help!!!
I have a DSTT with the 1.17 kernal, though I recently put on YSMENU, though it didn't help.
I have an 8GB SDHC Kingston Micro SD.
I'm not very computer literate, so please, lay-man's terms.
I don't have a lot of bandwidth, so I don't really want to download a lot.

Real DSTT, and yes, DSTT does support more than 2gb, in fact it works better with SDHC.
I don't know anything about unofficial firmwares...

O.k, I put on the Unofficial Firmware, and low and behold, IT WORKED!! Well, briefly. I managed to get to the menu, but after I select my difficulty, it goes back to that black screen, only I can't soft-reset from there. I tried patching it again with Lips, but again, no help...

Is there anything else I can do?

No idea. The game was fixed in the latest unofficial software, so it not working for you is weird. Try with both TTMenu and YSMenu and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't work under either, you may have a glitched ROM and need to replace it.

Also just thought of something you could check. Go to http://cheats.gbatemp.net/ and download USRCHEAT.DAT.ZIP. Use that to replace the cheat file in the TTMenu folder. Then see if it has any anti piracy code in there.

Well, the cheat file does include stuff for Kingdom Hearts (I've used the 'Use any character' codes), so I'm guessing you had an altered ROM which was causing problems. At least you now have a working ROM.
