You left the wren open on your RAM-block, and it seems that is taken as a '1'. This overwrites the data at address '00h' immediately with '00h', and the expected '30h' will only be there for one single clock. Instead of using signaltap you could have simulated your design, and you would have noticed the 30h to 00h transition in your LCD data directly after startup.

thank you imma go fix it now
unfortunately im not familiar with many of quartus' features, never used its simulator, i usually either use signaltap or build a test bench and simulate using modelsim (i dont know of a way to simulate megawizard blocks therefore only used signaltap).
any useful self study material in your opinion (such as pdf's/books regarding debugging/design) would be highly appriciated =]
thanks again
