First title screen showed up where I should press START. After pressing START on the first title screen, a second one appears with the game logo and it just freezes.

Other notes

I've tried deleting save file, changing ROMs (downloaded another one from another website, and even a hacked one that supposedly makes the loading screens quicker). All ROMs tested for this game have frozen on the title screen.

Will you be available for future issues and/or replies?

Yes

Try changing the screen color filter to Default in TWLMenu++ Settings and make sure DS Phat colors are turned off in the per-game settings menu.

That worked! I had forgotten I had changed the screem color filter. I now set it to Default as suggested and now the game loaded normally. Thanks!! :))
