Help with persona 4 golden on vita3k

[tomfoolery]

I've installed the zip on vita3k and vita3zx, the game will load on 3k but gets stuck when it talks about being signed up to PlayStation network. Like I can't move my controls or hit x with the touch pad or a controller. I tried on the vita3k zx fork but all the text in the game was missing. I have a Moto g stylus I think it's only sd440 android 11. I've added new drivers, not really sure what I'm doing I cant usually figure this stuff out but hoping to find some answers because I want to play golden as opposed to persona 4 on PS2 emulator. Thanks for your help

Probably because its not portable. If he doesn't have a Steamdeck of course.

Or a laptop lol:

I have a small laptop that can even run CyberJunk 2077 (like 16 FPS), Persona 4 ain't a shit lol.

Nothing happens, I can click through the beginning title cards but once I get here it stops working

Can you dl other region versions and test them.

I'm having the exact same issue. This is what I get in the command line when after I get passed the the Playstation Network screen. I gather there's an issue with the opening movie file, but I struggle to make sense of this. This started after I updated Vita 3k to 0.2.0.

Are you getting the same?

The emojis were put there automatically after posting, no idea why.

I haven't dived into vita emulation. I've modded my son's vita and it has an app to download games on demand directly from the console.
