[Bug Report] Persona 4 NTSC Freezing Issue
#1
Hello, so guys, i'm having a bit of a problem in Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4, i hope someone can help me. It seems that everytime that Yosuke is in the hallway of the 2nd floor at Yasogami school, the game freezes. I don't know when this started, but i have a savestate of 4/22 with Yosuke on the hallway, and it does not freeze. I think it begun at 5/12 in the game, but i'm not sure...
Meaning basically, at Thursdays and Saturdays for example i can't go in the 2nd floor hallway of school because it freezes. And i neeeed to get Yosuke's rank to max, normally without cheats, to get extra actions for him at battle + his new persona.

The log window goes like this when the game freezes :

Here are the specs of my computer and the info about the iso i'm using:
pcsx2 version: 1.2.1
Operating System = Microsoft Windows XP
Physical RAM = 2046 MB
CPU name = Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
Vendor/Model = GenuineIntel (stepping 0D)
CPU speed = 2.199 ghz (2 logical threads)
isoFile = Shin_Megami_Tensei_Persona_4_NTSC_PS2

p.S. - I am using some cheats but, even if i disable them, the freezing issue continues.
p.S.[2] - The game is NOT undubed.
p.S.[3] - I have looked for other threads, but no one seems to have the same issue as mine.
p.S.[4] - I have already tried switching to default GS options, changing the plugin version and restoring default plugin settings.

TLB miss is usually either bad cheats or a bad disc rip. Try reripping your disc with imgburn.

And notice that if you are using cheats and savestates - even if you disable the cheats the savestates still hold their values, therefor load from a memcard save always when testing.

I am using my memcard saves, but no luck. Also, reripping no luck either. Maybe it's a cheat issue? Cause, i used Social Link Max cheat in Strenght and Sun arcana, and i think it was the day after(in the game) i used it that the 2nd hallway got frozen. And to "unmax" the SL i need to use cheat again and put on rank 1. Do you know if there is a way to reset all my previous SL changes to normal without using cheat? This might be a long shot but i think that's the problem.

You need to load a memcard save from BEFORE you used the cheat in order to fix your problem then. If that cheat corrupted some values, depending on what they were they might even make it to the memcard. Since you don't know what the values should have been, you can't replace them properly. There is no guarantee resetting the values with a cheat would work, since you don't know for sure the cheat changed the correct values in memory.

Also moving this to General discussion, since it's not a bug but most likely a cheat issue.

Oh dear D:
IF it is a cheat issue, i guess i'll have to re-do 2 weeks of the game all over again. It will take a while, so i'll reply tomorrow if it works. Thank you Blyss Sarania (:
Let's see if it works!

Update: Yay! It worked, well, it figures it rly was a cheat issue. Buuuttt luckly i went back to my old "corrupted save" and waited a couple of days, then poof! The freezing was gone, at least at Saturday 5/28. I will keep using my old save, as it is more advanced in the game. If it freezes again and i end up not having Yosuke SL maxed, i'll have no choice but to return to my "normal" save and do it all over again.
Well, thankyou again Blyss-chan, i really apreciate it (:
