Game freezes when reaching a particular scene

[lemurgavel]

So, I've been playing a visual novel game on my PPSSPP, and it's been running perfectly fine for about half the game, but when I get to one specific scene, the game gets stuck. I'm still able to run the emulator, and if I pause, load save, and run, it'll take me back to my previous save state with no issue. But every time I get to this scene, it happens again. The last messages I get as soon as I hit the button to progress, and the game crashes on the transition screen to the next scene, are:

23:58:781 BgmAtrac I[KERNEL]: HLE\sceKernelThread.cpp:2253 __KernelReturnFromThread: 0
23:58:781 user_main I[ME]: HLE\sceAtrac.cpp:1019 sceAtracReleaseAtracID(0)

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Please let me know if I need to provide more info, I'm really new to this. Thank you!
