Black Rock Shooter: The Game

[solarmystic]

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with the English version of this game. When I get to the part where we open the gate (after reconnecting the power supply), it after the scene, I am shown NOW LOADING but it gets stuck from that point onwards. Anyone encounter this? The game was running smoothly and without any issues until this part in the game.




Right after that scene, I am shown NOW LOADING. Then it pretty much just stays there, but the sound still plays in the background. The weird thing is, I can't take a screenshot on that part. Like PPSSPP itself hanged up, though not completely because I can still navigate the menus. Going to Emulation > Reset also does nothing. I have to choose Emulation > Stop first and reopen the game again.

Tried it with Buffered Rendering on and off, as well as Fast Memory on and off. No dice.

Could you state the precise emulator revision used (version), your hardware specifications (example in my signature)and the platform used please(windows/android/iOS)?

Also, just to confirm, this is the happening at the "Release the Golden Gate" Story Mission in Stage 1 right?

EDIT:- Confirmed. Black Rock Shooter now gets stuck at the "Release the Golden Gate" Story Mission in Stage 1 after Opening the Gate in the latest revision (0.8.1-232)

You see the Now Loading screen and that's it. I'll be doing a trace to find out the responsible revision. Thanks for your report.

EDIT2:- It seems that disabling atrac3+ sounds/music for that particular bit is a temporary solution you can try for now. To do this, just untick the Atrac3+ checkbox in the Options --> Audio section, or rename the at3plusdecoder.dll file to something else.

EDIT3:- Scratch that. The non at3+ method only works for older builds.
Newer builds still hang at the part with at3+ off.
