Hi. So, I've been playing this game for about 15 hours, and I finally ran into a problem where the game hangs. I've tried changing most settings in the emulator to try and figure out if I could work around my problem, to no avail.
What happens is an event between Marie and Hallesch about obtaining a dragon fang. There is a text scroll while the story is explained in detail, and right as it ends and tries to come back to the standard image and text, it hangs prior to bringing up the text box. The music continues to play but the text scroll stops at the top of the screen, and EE% shoots up to 100 and fps drops to ~20fps or so. All I figured out was that it wasn't directly the cause of Hallesch's image fading in, nor the text scroll itself, because based on the speed of emulation the bottom of the text scroll may be slightly further up, or Hallesh slightly faded out.
So, I'm looking for some help trying to solve this issue. AFAIK, it isn't the game itself. I would've tried messing with debug options but I'm not familiar with it at all. Didn't use any cheats or patches either. I've tried a few different versions of the emulator.
