God Eater Burst

Okay, now after 0.7.6-799, since the load fixes have been merged into master, Fallen Angel Egg actually works!

Will do some further testing to see whether the rest of the missions are playable.

EDIT:- Main story mission with Sakuya still freezes after the cutscene with her briefing the player.

EDIT2:- On a restart it works just fine. Huh. Still hit or miss.

EDIT3:- Okay, I figured out how to replicate this rather tricky newer(?) issue now

Steps to replicate the issue without fail (in 0.7.6-799-windows-x86):-

0. Load your previous saved game (since loading works for this game now, makes testing a lot easier)

1. Start a mission.

2. Abandon it.

3. Start another (different) mission that uses a different area or map

4. PPSSPP will hang at a black screen/or get stuck at an infinite loading screen.

Exceptions to the rule:-

4a. If you restarted the same mission you abandoned in the same PPSSPP session, it doesn't hang. (i.e. You started Fallen Angel Egg, abandoned it, and then attempt it again, it will proceed as usual)

4b. Or if you abandon the mission, save, then restarted PPSSPP, loaded your save, then tried a different mission, it'll work just fine.

4c. Performing successive missions that utilize the same area (e.g you do tutorial missions 1 to 5 in a row without any deviations) doesn't cause the issue. However, switching from a Tutorial mission to a different mission with a different area will cause the issue. (e.g. from tutorial 2 to Fallen Angel Egg mission and vice versa)

Oh well, still major progress done for this game anyway, it's now almost fully playable, if you can circumvent the issue by either performing a mission, saving then restarting each time, especially if the next mission involves a different area. I've figured out now why doing Cowboy right after Devil's Tail doesn't cause any issues, it's because they use the same area.

Logfile for the interested:- http://www.mediafire.com/?aazmdma18m5ufsd

For this logfile, I loaded a save game, started tutorial 3, abandoned it, saved, then started the Cocoon story mission (different area to load), which then ended up with the hang and a black screen after a working cutscene with Sakuya.
