Talk:Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

Hang in 0.9.7 (build r3878)

I first played the game on 0.9.4 using a core2duo laptop - was slow and steady, managed to complete the game. Now I'm playing using 0.9.7 (r3878) - yeah, I know there's a new official build out already, haven't upgraded due to having a whole bunch of savestates for this version I've yet to migrate to proper memcard saves. Anyway, the game seems to hang during the cutscene at the story map "Core Point No. 4", the second map of Stellar Graveyard II. After the first 3 lines of dialogue and some kind of wooshing sfx (sounds like a jetpack firing down - I'm guessing this is Kurtis' entrance), the game just stops. Music still plays and there's no error in the emu log, it's just that the game literally doesn't continue. Like if you opened the lid on your physical PS2.

Pretty sure it's not the ISO image, as I used literally the same one I created from my PS2 disc when I played back in '2008, all the way from start to finish and New Game+, so I know it's not a bad image. Only difference is that at that time I was using PCSX2 0.9.4. For now I'll save the game to memcard, then when I get around to upgrading to the latest official build, I'll test this scene again. - Spinfx 04:54, 9 October 2011 (BST)
