Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

[Theaggyyu]

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, as this is the first thread I am making. I made this account solely to report this avoidable error. Also, this error was found on the latest official Android build of PPSSPP on a Nexus 5. Your results may vary on other platforms.

I was recently annoyed by a problem in the emulation of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Final Mix, and found other people on the internet to have come across the same problem. Sometimes when trying to save, the game will hang at a screen that says "Checking Storage Media..." This is obviously very annoying as most people will save when they have progress to lose.

However, I have found the cause. I acknowledge this may not be the only possible cause, but through some testing, I have determined that Attempting to go "Online" in the Mirage Arena will cause the hang the next time you go to save. I only noticed this because the amount of times I have hanged on the save screen appeared to be the same as the amount of times I had accidentally clicked "Online" when prompted.

Obviously PPSSPP is incapable of using multiplayer at this moment so you would have no reason to choose this option anyway. However, I urge you to take extra care when selecting a connection mode in the Mirage Arena.

Hopefully I've helped a few of you keyblade wielders out there, and if you know any other causes of this save-screen hang, or if attempting wireless communication in other games can cause similar problems, please post them here!
