fire emblem shadow dragon crash

i realise theres a ton of topics on this already, unfortunately i couldn't find an answer to the problem i have, i'm using an R4 , and the game seems to crash when u start a new game, the story comes up with the guy talking, but after the 1st paragraph it freezes, currently using the 1.18 kernal, anyway to fix this? or do i need to start using the unofficial kernals?

No. It works fine on 1.18. Try backing up and reformat.

thx that appears to have fixed the problem
