FPGA Version: PATV 31/10/2015
ARM Version: V2.2.240
Menu Version: V1.2.3
XA/CDDA Mode: K1V3
CU2 Sheet: No

Problem:
The game will start up just fine and I can drive around the HUB world, but when I enter a stage, the game will lock up during the loading.

Also, when Aku Aku is talking to you, his mouth is supposed to open, which it doesn't.

I tried a NTSC iso, where I am able to play the stages, but Aku Aku's mouth still doesn't animate.
