The World Ends With You - Freezing issue

Okay, this game's been freezing for me, and its always on the same part right after the first cutscene.I get to this screen, and it craps out on me.
Apparantly it's paused though, but anytime I try to unpause it, it goes right back to pause! So it's stuck. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

What emulator are you using?

DeSmuME 0.9.4

Use No$GBA with No$Zoomer.

There's no way to get it working on DeSmuME?

I dunno if there is, but No$/GBA/Zoomer is better anyway.

Alright, thanks a lot!
