Hello there :3

This issue must be well known. PPSSPP crashes every time I minimize and maximize it while the game is running. If I put emulation on pause, crash doesn't happen, but I sometimes forget to put emulation on pause and crashing pisses me off. Any way to resolve the problem?

That happened pretty much in every build after 0.9.6

At the moment I'm using 0.9.8-598 32bit build.

Thank you :3

Interesting. I can't reproduce this on the latest revision (v0.9.8-737-gefa2c8e) and I have an ATI card too, so that can't be the issue. I am using Windows 7 x64 SP1 with the Classic Theme (Aero and DWM disabled) however.

Some required information:-

1. Does it happen for every game?

2. When PPSSPP crashes, what does Windows Crash Reporter say is the faulty module? This could be the clue needed to identify the cause.

3. What drivers are you on? You're using a pretty old ATI 4xxx series card, so I assume you're on the AMD Legacy Drivers? (Notice that you're on Windows 8, which could be related.)

It happens for Intel users too. I think Raimoo reported a similar issue a while back.

Sorry for a delayed response, have been a bit busy lately.
Yes, it happens in every game.
There's a crash log from Windows event journal:
PPSSPPWindows.exe
0.0.9.8

Also, the exception code is 0x80000003

No faulty module name is specified in a log.

And it might be related to Windows 8, yes. Though, I have tried different drivers, including so-called performance ones (11.11a/b). At the moment I'm at 13.1, which are latest legacy drivers by lazy asses from AMD.
