# PCSX2 version: v1.7.5891 (nightly), v1.6.0 (stable)
# Emulation options: Everything default
# Plugins used: Vulkan/Software/OpenGL, it makes no difference
# Description:
This is a very specific bug that appears near the end of the game (chapter 16), where if you play the golf mini-game, and then enter a street fight, it will result in a black screen. I can't see any signs of it actually crashing/failing in the logs, but the game emulation drops to 0 fps and it just doesn't progress properly to the actual fight. I've been unable to replicate this bug on original hardware, and PS2 emulation on PS3 also works fine, whereas on PCSX2 it fails every time.
# Steps to reproduce:
If you try the same sequence without starting the golf mini-game, then the fight loads properly, so it appears something happens when the golf game is loaded.

# Steps to reproduce:
- I've attached a memory card. In the game, load the first save.
- Walk east and enter the golf center, sticking to the northern wall to avoid a potential fight just outside (see attached map.)
- Talk to the clerk inside, select the first dialogue option two times to start the golf mini-game.
- As soon as the golf game is loaded, press select and exit out of it.
- Exit the golf center, and walk forward a few steps out into the street.
- You will likely be attacked, but enemies spawn randomly so it's not guaranteed to happen.
- If you aren't, go all the way east, and near the telephone booth there will be another likely enemy spawn location.
- Upon moving past the enemy dialogue, the screen will fade to black, and then nothing more happens, instead of loading the fight.
