Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution

Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution is a video game released for the Nintendo GameCube. It has a card based play style, making it unique among games in the Phantasy Star Online series. The story of the game takes place twenty-one years after Episodes I and II.

NTSC Version
The NTSC version does not boot, only displaying the error "ERROR: Trying to compile at 0. LR=00000000". The PAL version works perfectly in comparison, minus the online mode portion of the game.

Apparently sometime between the time of this bug and stable release 3.5, the crash was fixed, as the NTSC version boots flawlessly now.

Missing Characters in Text
All versions of the game may have missing characters in various game text, per. Such can be resolved by setting accurate texture case towards a "safe" setting, though it's unclear what setting is necessary. Middle seems to work fine, though there may be 1 or 2 missing letters every once in a long while.

Cannot create a new save file
For whatever reason, the NTSC version crashes upon trying to create a brand new save file. Copying a save from an actual Gamecube memory card through GCMM, and importing said save, seems to fix this issue. Once a save is actually made, it is entirely possible to delete all of the characters on the save and start over; there just needs to be a save file on the memory card at boot to successfully run the game. Apparently plagues the PAL and JP versions of the game, too; someone should confirm this first.
