        @mitu Oops. My bad. I thought it would be. I'm not sure how else to share this, so I uploaded the txt file onto google drive if that works for you.

          I can't reproduce the issue. I started a new game and passed , without any crashes. I had to change the controller type to 'Analog/Dualshock' in RetroArch in order to be able to move, but other than that the defaults worked fine.

          The BIOS file I used:

          Using BIOS 'SCPH1001.BIN': SCPH-1001, 5003, DTL-H1201, H3001 (v2.2 12-04-95 A)

          Make sure you're using a Redump validated image (.cue/.bin) and have the latest RetroArch version installed.

            @mitu Thanks for putting some time into this. I appreciate your efforts.

            I tried updating retroarch - Same issue.
            I tried uninstalling and reinstalling lr-duckstation - Same issue.
            I tried using the exact same BIOS file - Same issue.

            Bit of a headscratcher. Could be a bad dump... although the game runs fine on lr-pcsx-rearmed. I'll play it on that for now, and I'll experiment a bit more on this issue on my end. If I happen to figure out what the exact issue is, then I'll update this topic accordingly.

            Thanks again.

              It's crashing here too with lr-duckstation. After i start a new game and after the intro, it crash when the character appear on the game field.

              My English isn't at a good level.

                Can also confirm that it will crash everytime you spawn at the start with the lighting effects. I tried playing the game for a while using retroarch on my pc and transfered the save I got there on retropie. Unfortunately the game still crashes after I load the game and it seems like the crash is always triggered by that lighting effects. I also tried the PAL version and yeah it also crashes the same way.

                  it works for me. i did the tutorial level.

                  it sounds like a (perhaps well-circulated) bad dump. duckstation is perhaps more sensitive to these than other psx emulators, but i think you'll struggle to get support upstream from the developer for dump-related issues.

                      @windg Looking at http://redump.org/disc/3086/, it seems you have the correct US version.

                        looks like it’s fixed! https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/issues/2599#event-5282511225

                        i didn’t check my CRC but it’s possible i tried it in aarch64 where it presumably works, as i was testing both at the time.

                        it might take a few days for the fix to appear on the binary file that is grabbed when updating duckstation via retropie.

                          Thanks! Seems like the latest duckstation update finally fixes ape escape crashing.
