Tried with a different microSD, same result...
EDIT: Okay so, good news, I think I understood why the game still freezes at the same places for some people.
In fact, the game store somewhere on the save file if you are using or not a pirated game. And even if you use the AP bypass settings afterwards, it's too late, the game has "corrupted" the save file.
SO, turn on the AP bypass settings, DELETE your save, and start the game again with the AP setting at the beginning.
Should work. Anyway it did for me.
PS: As usual, sorry for my bad English, non native-speaker, etc.
