No worries! Thank you for your help. I'll read through the thread a bit later and report back on what I find, if anything. EDIT: The problem is mentioned, but no solution is given. My best bet right now is to wait on someone who has a chapter 5 save state, I'm not too keen on going through everything again. w Thank you for the link, Satoshi!

Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately my save states do not work in this version, it just causes the emulator to crash. Do you have a save state handy at all that I could use?

Greetings, Running 32bit Windows 7 with Japanese Locale. I've encountered an issue that has been solved here before. I've followed all of the suggestions in that thread and, unfortunately, none of them have worked. I have tried 12 different versions of PPSSPP ranging from v0.8.1-664-gff225fa-windows-x86 to v0.8.1-1102-g3d7abf9-windows-x86 with the version I was originally playing on being v0.8.1-788-g1533b58-windows-x86. I was able to load my savestates on every version other than 1102, which resulted in a crash. Loading the savestates in other emulators had the same issue with the infinite load screen. In addition to this I've attempted to force a recheck on the ISO file, but the recheck option is greyed out, so I've yet to try this. I've altered the options for each emulator as I've tried them according to the thread linked above. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? If you need any further information, I'll reply ASAP. Any help is appreciated. Also, if anyone has savestates for the start of chapter 5 after they leave the cafeteria for the first time that I could try, that would be fantastic. Thank you for your time. EDIT: It appears redownloading the game does not help. EDIT2: Currently got it locked on Tab to see if this loadscreen really is infinite.
