That being said, this is just a nasty timing issue which might not get a proper fix anytime soon so I made a cwcheat workaround for this:

Code:

_S ULUS-10400
_G Crimson Gem Saga
_C0 Freeze Workaround
_L 0xE008000E 0x0008F6E8
_L 0x2008F6E8 0x0A200800
_L 0x20002000 0x3409000A
_L 0x20002004 0x00004021
_L 0x20002008 0x25080001
_L 0x2000200C 0x1528FFFE
_L 0x20002010 0x00000000
_L 0x20002014 0x0A223DBC
_L 0x20002018 0x00C04821
_C0 Freeze Workaround [Disable]
_L 0x2008F6E8 0x6A00000E

which will allow playing the game on latest ppsspp version just fine.
Didn't really tested it much, but this isn't any interesting fix, the cheat merely wastes some time, simulating old timings with which this game apparently by some luck worked better.

If anyone cares to see this cwcheat workaround ported to the other two regions, just need an address of this function:

~easily found as shown above in "func" list in ppsspp disassembly (only on windows, debug menu->disassembly or ctrl+D). Double clicking on it's name on the list will center the view on it and then can easily right click on the line that says "memset_jak: * replacement: move t1, a2" and choose "Copy Address".

Thank you LunaMoo for once again fixing another game crash. What would we do without you?

Edit: I'm still getting crashes for the Principal scene no matter what settings I use. Can anyone else confirm if you're able to bypass that scene?
