Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires (lock up)

[The following is a template to help you fill out a more informative
report]

Note:
Many games do not run yet, or have known problems. Please do not report
those games without giving any more information. That means reports like
"Game XYZ crashes" are not helpful. Instead try to include as much debug
information as possible. The last 5 console messages for example, or if the
crashes can be circumvented / fixed by another configuration would help
much more.

--------------------------------------

Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on the
Official PCSX2 build or an earlier version of PCSX2 playground?
(If so, please specify the latest pcsx2-playground or Official revision
that last worked.)
Website lists Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires as "in-game", it appears this is 
still the case

What steps will reproduce the problem?
controls and screen lock up upon starting any battles

What exactly happens when you experience this issue (listing any console
errors or screen output you receive)?
menus run fine, strategy mode runs fine as well (planning stage before battle)
but upon choosing to invade a country, the screen locks up, along with the 
controls, yet the music still plays

What version of PCSX2 are you using? On what operating system? Plugins?
using r5151, on Windows 7 Home Premium, issue is repeated with any plugin 
configuration

While I am playing in some area`s in battle the game starts to flicker then it 
freezes, specifically when i attack.

If I go to a less intense area with less troops it does not flicker, and 
sometimes I can have many troops in one area and it wouldn`t flicker.

So it is specific to area and situation but it is very common.

You get lucky. It doesn't matter which revision I use, or any plugin settings. 
I've always had issues with this game. Everything locks up as soon as I start 
any battles whether Empire or Free mode. The only thing that plays is music.

I used r5722 and still locked up when entering the battle

The log window kept repeating these lines:
sceGsSyncPath: DMA Ch.2 does not terminate
    <D1_CHCR=10000045:D1_TADR=003fc490:D1_MADR=003fc4b0:D1_QWC=00000000>

    <VIF1_STAT=00000048:GIF_STAT=10000a00>
sceGsPutDrawEnv: DMA Ch.2 does not terminate

And only the music plays. No buttons work(Except for ESC and Alt+F4)
