Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

[lifeseeker128]

I've been trying to advance through this game using PPSSPP, but I'm currently within the SEBEC building and trying to capture demon cards when suddenly the emulator freezes/stops working and has to shut down. I save state just before selecting a method of negotiation with a demon I select and once I select a method (dance/invite whatever) the emulator (I wanna say "crashes" but it's less sudden than that) stops working after my character makes the remark and at the time the demon would make theirs. I'm using version 0.9.9.1 of the emulator on Windows 7 with default graphics and system settings except for auto-load latest save state. I've not had issues with negotiating with demons inside or outside the SEBEC building before this issue. I could simply move on, but... I want to be OP and need the cards to do that.

Would someone be willing to help me troubleshoot this issue?

PS: Never mind, I was just able to load into a session of the game without a save state and successfully negotiate with a demon; no freezing. I guess this was just a case of save states getting corrupted or something similar.
