Pacman World 2: crash at specific point

[redries]

Hello there

I'm experiencing a crash at a specific point in the game Pacman World 2 which makes it unplayable. The level "Treewood Forest" keeps freezing somewhere halfway through: the music continues but everything else stops working and pausing the emulation makes the screen go black upon restarting. I'm running on pcsx2 build 1.4.0 on Windows and don't use any speedrunning, gamefixing or other tools (all standard configurations).

I'll include my specs below although i don't think my computers capabilities (or lack thereof) are causing the crash since it runs pretty smoothly otherwise.

Besides this one, some other crashes seem to be prevalent too (such as in the first level or the level B-doing forest) but they don't prevent you from continuing the game. Although i haven't found many, some users seem to be experiencing similiar problems (cf. link). Are there any workarounds possible? If not, i suggest to update the compatibility list.

Have you tried one of the latest GIT 1.5 builds?

I tried that but when I boot a 1.5.0 build, the screen is black although the game is fine. Also: when booting fully, the playstation screen looks glitchy and faded... :/
