      Any luck with this? I cannot seem to find anyone else with this problem except you.

      I tried just about every array of settings in PPSSPP and lr as well... no luck.

      Weird how its only in this game... I also downloaded 3 different versions and got the same square.

        Just saw this on my own system as well. Looking at PPSSPP's automated testing, it definitely seems to be a regression on their end, so I'll raise something on their forum/github.

              I had this in standalone ppsspp then upgraded it to the lastest source and it went away. Try updating ppsspp from source.

                    @bedu here you go

                    over_voltage=6
                    arm_freq=2000
                    gpu_freq=750

                    with gpu memory set to 512.

                    Just tried again, and it's still working fine with the latest source for me.

                        Overclocking can slightly improve FPS but it will not make emulation more accurate. In fact that gpu mem setting is completely unnecessary on a pi 4 in regards to emulation as the pi 4 dynamically allocates memory to the gpu. That setting is really mainly used for the H264 video codec and the camera.

                          I am using the ppsspp v1.10.2 and i dont have this issue. Is older version but im still using it because the games running faster that the new versions.

                          I have uploaded it if you want to test it : https://easyupload.io/x8dr4g

                            @windg thanks man, i will check it later...I assume that the issue has to do something with the raspberry pi GPU, cos having the latest source, latest PPSSPP version, overclocked...could it be a GPU malfunction?
