Picture of game in software redndering mode. If software rendering is not enabled, game loads an image of the game then goes black and crashes the app to android homescreeen. Game plays in Software rendering mode but is slow as expected, occurs in other games I tested too.

Game should play without software rendering enabled.

It's seems Persona 3 Portable has crashing issues for Adreno 3xx and 5xx devices when using OpenGL. See #11355

I was able to resolve the issue by using an older apk version of ppsspp, v1.0 using default settings. Playing at full speed. Since the cpu and gpu are from 2014-2016 era, compatibility is best with older versions that supported these cpu and gpus. The device runs android 11 go and is new but hardware is not modern.

Well, I don't consider that issues are solved by using an old version - the new version should handle everything, ideally. So I'm leaving it open.
