These are a few important questions to help with troubleshooting:

What version of PPSSPP are you trying to play the game on?
What platform are you trying it on? (Mobile, PC, etc)
What OS are you trying it on? (Windows/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS)
What rendering backend are you trying to to use? (D3D9, D3D11, OpenGL, Vulkan)

It will say on startup, first thing.
Alternatively, you will see it when you go to Settings (it's "Backend" at the very top of the Graphics settings)
Try swapping the backends around and see which one works best for you. If none of them work, let me know.

MHP3rd requires decrypting pauth files on real psp. Without doing so the game will NOT be playable.(Althrough the remaster is.)
