I have the same issue. I tried patching it with v1.0.4 and v1.0.1-2 and the results are the same. I made sure to include the right rom and the rom has around 1.35 GB, so IDK what's going on. I would really like to do an LP on this, so some help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I tried about 11 different NTSC:U roms and none of them worked with the patch. Could someone maybe send a link to one that actually worked for them?
