Do the devs check the threads in Playable Games for new problems?

When you found a regression, better search on [URL removed due to posting restrictions] if it wasn't already reported.

OK.

If that does help instead of opening new issue, just add your information to that one I linked above as it would be same thing.

Yes, that does fix the issue. Unfortunately my system is too slow to run games properly with the interpreter, but at least it confirms that it's the same problem.

I'll register on Github and post my information in that issue.

I understand. The main reason I registered on the forum was to help report bugs. PPSSPP is a great piece of software and I want to do whatever I can to help improve it. I'm not a programmer, so reporting bugs is about all I can offer. People say I'm good at finding them. Back in the 80s, I used to frustrate a friend who ran a Commodore BBS. "It's been running for five days straight, leave it to you to find a way to crash it!"

I'm not really that familiar with Github. It's always seemed like a 'messy' site compared to SourceForge.
