Ratchet and Clank freezes

[jimfromtx]

As the thread title suggests, I'm experiencing some issues with Ratchet & Clank 1. Specifically, when I attempt to use the wrench throw, the game freezes when the wrench gets back to Ratchet. The sound still keeps playing, but the graphics are completely static. I haven't experienced any other similar errors in another games.

OS: Windows 7
Memory: 4 GB
Processor: AMD Phenom II Quad-core 3.2 GHz
PCSX2 version 0.9.8
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE

Let me know if there's any other info needed, and thanks for the help!

I've found sometimes that game freezes unless you use the EE Timing Fix under the Game Fixes section of the Emulator Settings.

Give that a go.

I do not have this issue using r5350, if you want to try that in the mean-time.

Hmm, still seems to freeze with the timing hack...and I'm not sure if 5350 would work, as it didn't work with the ones before and after it...I seriously have no idea why it's still freezing. And sorry for the late reply, the message got chewed up by my spam filter for some reason...

Need to know your plugins and emulator settings if you can to help further

Disable all speedhacks to start with.

Disable all speedhacks to start with.

Disabled the ee timing hack and the speedhacks tab, still freezes. Random note, when the graphics freeze, the previously slowed-down sound (due to low FPS) jumps up to normal speed. I suppose it's cause the graphics are now still.
