Mana Khemia Student Alliance, Can't Load Game, Keep Crashing

Are you sure the disc is good?

For me, Mana Khemia works fine with default settings, though I'm using the latest git build (you're using a fairly old version, v1.8.0.) I'm using a US release of Mana Khemia which I purchased and pulled directly using my PSP.

As for similar games:
- There's of course a sequel, but the English one is PS2 only. I think the PS2 version was better anyway.
- The Dusk subseries is at least similar in some ways, and it's in the same overall Atelier series. The Vita versions are better here.
- There's also the Atelier Iris subseries (PS2, came before Mana Khemia) which are fairly similar (but I think Mana Khemia is better than all of them.)
- On the PSP, it really depends on what you liked about it. Anything from Trails in the Sky, Lunar, Crimson Gem Saga, Hexyz Force, or several others might be good to look into.
