Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (HD Ver. or not)

[shkim0223]

I'll describe my issue as specifically as I can to provide maximum information.

I recommend reading it if you are having similar issue too.
there is list of things I tried down below.
And it will be also helpful for developers of PPSSPP since there is a lot
of information too.

I bought PPSSPP gold through play store and I am using latest build realeased on Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900L) with latest firmware kitkat without any problem untill I encountered this problem on game called [Monster Hunter Portable 3rd].
EVERYTIME I try to enter into a online gathering hall after tutorial or any other time,(offline gathering hall works fine)

It starts a loading screen that says "Now Loading" as usual. Then suddenly The PPSSPP app itself freezes. Literally. If I was fooling around with virtual pad on screen while loading screen scene, It moves and gives me haptic response as usual for 3~5 seconds then it freezes. I tried waiting 2 hour hoping it would unfreeze by itself but nope. only way to get out of it is to press home button and turn off the application using task manager.

Interestingly, sometimes if I try to connect into room #1 which is popular,
The game loads about 1 second and pops up message that says I was unable to join because the room is full. This means my device can connect and interact with the other players through the server.
But if I try to connect into room # above 10 or more (which is less popular=there is always room left empty so I can join), The message doesn't appear and I proceed to loading scene then crash.
I think means it's not connection issue, The freezing is due to graphical problem such as, PPSSPP failed to load texture of the room or sprites that only appears in online gathering hall. (http://forums.ppsspp.org/attachment.php?aid=10780)


I need this issue to be solved.
In fact I have a friend who is using LG Optimus G2 (LG-F320)
with same PPSSPP Gold with same specific ROM(.iso) file
that can access the online gathering hall without any problem.
(I'll explain more specifically down below.)
I am so desperate.. frustrated that we can't play together as friend.

I changed 1 thing at a time. (MEANS IT FREEZED HUNDREDS OF TIMES.)
You might think I'm stupid, but hey.
Doing everything you can sometimes fixes issues.
HERE'S what I have discovered so far.
I'VE NEVER MADE IT THROUGH LOADING SCREEN. NOT A SINGLE TIME.

I learned and tried 2 ways of Ad-hoc multiplayer methods. both methods works fine on friend's device but on my device, it freezes on same loading scene. Besides, if someone don't even do basic setting of Ad-hoc, they probably end up alone in online gathering hall or won't even able to access to list of rooms that allows player to attempt connect.

1st method Android to Andriod using tethering and Adhocserver.apk
and putting device's individual mac-address into PPSSPP.ini file

2nd method Using Prometheus server:
http://blog.naver.com/koreahankan?Redire...0182901876
putting device's individual mac-address into PPSSPP.ini file
and changing proAdhocServer = localhost into
proAdhocServer = pro.coldbird.uk.to in PPSSPP.ini file

MY EFFORTS:

re-installing PPSSPP Gold from play store (still freezes)

getting ROM(.iso file) from other sites for me and friend (only I freezes)
getting original japanese version ROM for me and friend (only I freezes)

coping my friend's PPSSPP.ini to my device. (only I freezes)

Doing factory reset on my device (only I freezes)

using Alternative speed 25% while loading scene (same result)

Gaining Root access (A.K.A Rooting) on my Note3 (still freezes)

Changing Settings on PPSSPP. (my friend ALWAYS made it through loading screen regardless of changing settings on PPSSPP)

Conclusion to myself posting this new long thread:

My Galaxy Note 3 freeze but my friend's Optimus G2 makes through loading scene;
=My device somehow prevents PPSSPP to load the online gathering hall
or My device is not fully compatible with this game.

My device and friend's device uses different OS. (mine=kitkat him=jellybean)
= Kitkat OS is not fully compatible with this game or PPSSPP (but all other games worked fine so far)


=Maybe I didn't do something I had to do and someone could help.. please
