Randomly started getting Running slow: try frameskip, sound is choppy when slow mssg

[gamora77]

Hi, I'm about 30 hours into Persona 1 and have had zero problems up to this point. I have it set up to "pause when not focused" and got distracted internet browsing in a different window while in the middle of a battle. When I came back the game was playing significantly slower and i got the "running slow" message I mentioned earlier.

Activating frameskip sped it up again but I was no longer able to toggle alternate speeds to fast forward through battles while grinding (which helps a lot with JRPGS).



Does anyone know what caused this? or how to address the root cause? Most of my search just found results of people having trouble with games from the first time the started playing them, not 30 hours into an otherwise problem free play through. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
