Title: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Genre: Third-Person Shooter

The game Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is the force close with message "the ppsspp stopped working". The problem started in the build ppsspp-v0.9.9.1-717-gc79479a-android. The same problem happens with X-Men Legends II - Rise of Apocalypse, Star Wars the Clone Wars - Republic Heroes and Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars.

The problem does not occur in build ppsspp-v0.9.9.1-713-g763e5c9-android

Hi Guys !
I have the last version (1.0) and I play on my Note 4. Each time I shoot with the gun, the game solws down. Plus, when i turn off the buffer rendering, the graphics increase a lot but when I move or attack, the screen turns black !

Does someone have a solution ?
Thank you all !

Probably your tablet/phone (don't know/care/doesn't matter either) is just too slow.

For me it works fine (fast computer). At least until it crashes and I need to pkill -9 ppsspp to stop it.
And in one area it seemed to me a door should have opened after I killed the enemies, but it didn't.
So some bugs, but the game play itself works fine here.

Hello everyone . Sorry if i write mistakes because i'm French.
I am encountering a issue with PPSSPP, in the game Ratchet & Clank - Size Matters in the planet named Kalidon. The problem is that when I go to the skyboarder challenges to get the "Shrink ray", when I enter in a challenge, the game just stuck at this screen (for 10 minutes now) :
   
I'm using a dumped .ISO from my PSP, and I have the French version. If you have a idea on how to fix it, i will be extremely greatful ... because if i can't pass these challenges, i can't continue the game and i am doing a Let's Play on it
Thanks

Note : I have added a screenshot of the debugging console of PPSSPP

Sorry but I think I've found what the problem is. Before I dump the UMD into ISO, UMDumper were saying that the file size will be around 959 MB and when I launch the ISO, the ISO size is only 749 MB. I suppose that's a problem with my UMD, I will try to resolve it with strange methods ^^"

disable slower effects = off

This makes the game very slow on Android but playable on pc

of course you need to enable buffered rendering, thus solve the problem of black screen but the game slows

Hey I'm not sure where to post this, I'm not used to forums and all that.

So I've got the latest emulator running on my LG G2 (Snapdragon 800 chipset) and on normal, buffered render, games are quite slow, wouldn't be a problem if audio didn't lag, that annoys me the most. But with buffered mode there are no graphical glitches though.

And then there's non-buffered mode which gives a lot of fps and makes the audio sound normal but as I noticed in Ratchet and Clank - Size matters it causes to render a black screen when particles are present, be it a particle when you jump and smash the hammer in the ground, kill an enemy and etc.

Is there a workaround or I'll have to wait for an update? Or it's never going to be updated for this game to work with non-buffered rendering?

And, am I wrong but is android version of PPSSPP just a port of the PC one? By that I mean it was not built from ground up just for ARM?

Since emulators like DraStic for NDS were build specifically for ARM and compared to any other NDS emulator it performs 10x better, since those others emulators were based off DeSmuME. And I don't think PPSSPP uses all resources possible since the phone didn't heat up after a long session. I didn't check the CPU usage in developer options in android so I don't know exactly how much of CPU it uses.

And anyways here's two screenshots, normal one where I just stand and the second one when I jump and do a hammer smash to the ground.
