Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD VER

[SpaceyMan]

Hey people, I've searched around for quite a while but couldn't find a solution to my problem. I'm playing the latest MHP3rd HD patch on PC.
The game has been running completely fine up until this point. I'm on the 2nd 6* village quest, which is the first diablos mission. I can start the mission and run to the monster's spawn area, which then triggers the monster intro cutscene. It plays for a few seconds, but then PPSSPP will freeze at the same specific point each time. The program does not crash, but it will freeze on a black screen for a very long time and then strangely show the kill screen from the last monster I killed.
If anyone has heard of this issue or could help me it would be greatly appreciated
