[X] Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
[X] Search for other reports of the same issue.
[X] Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
[X] Try without any cheats and without loading any save states.
[X] Include logs or screenshots of issue.

The log has a lot of sceUmdReplaceProhibit() / 1=sceUmdCheckMedium() / sceUmdReplacePermit(). Maybe some of these should consume cycles or reschedule, and aren't? There's also a lot of 1=sceDisplayWaitVblank(): not waiting since in vblank which maybe are too quick.

It was reading data, then seeming stalled up. In this log, at 34:55:835 it last read some data. The game hadn't called sceIoPollAsync() yet for the result when it was closed at 35:00:470. It polled before that at 34:55:822, 34:44:411, 34:41:808, 34:33:612, and 34:30:019. That's quite some space between polling, even usually.

My best guess is that some operation is either eating too many cycles or not nearly enough, so performance is bad. Or maybe we're just accurately emulating how slot its loading was on a real PSP... I think it would potentially eventually load if you gave it long enough.
