Game breaking ERROR w/Sims 2 ROM

[foxdie]

Hey folks,

First time posting, so I'm terribly sorry if this is in the wrong place; I searched for this topic and couldn't find anything here, only on github (which didn't solve my problem), but then again I've been known to be a little blind.

Anyway, I'm encountering an issue when using PPSSPP to play the Sims 2. When I get to the 'summoning Beelzebeef' scene, the emulator freezes, making a repetitive 'pt pt pt pt' sound, and displays THIS code in the log.

"user_main E[CPU]: Core\Core.cpp:475 BREAK!"

I am running the current Windows build, 1.11.3, and can link the ROM I'm using if necessary as well.

Any input is appreciated; I'd like to finish my playthru. Thanks much.
