Description

Having an issue with LRPS2. When starting a new game in The Sims, after the girl spawns in, the game freezes completely. Audio is still being processed, but the game effectively freeze frames.

PCSX2 stable does not appear to have this issue, I am able to get past this sequence with no issues in the standalone emulator.

Retro Arch: v1.22.2
Core Version: LRPS2 (v2.0.0-65e8afb)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze in The Sims on LRPS2 v2.0.0-65e8afb with RetroArch v1.22.2, using the linked configuration and logs. Compare the same sequence with standalone PCSX2, then use the difference to locate the failing emulator path. Done means the girl can spawn and the game continues without freezing.
