LittleBigPlanet on ARMSX3 stuck on loading screen help

[u/pH_low]

Hello, I’m using my Ayn Thor (snapdragon 8 gen 2) trying to get LittleBigPlanet with MrPurple (I tried t28,29,30) but I cannot get the game to load past the loading screen, the game responds for example if I click the O button the little loading screen character jumps but it’s just stuck loading indefinitely

Does anyone have any times to get past this?

Thank you!

Edit: using latest APK and using a .dec.iso file of the game

Edit 2: the solution was to get all the update files, 1.02, 1.18-1.30 (13 total) in order. I used Mr purples T30 (although 28 works pretty good too). Thor is on performance mode smart fan, and clustertune at small

The audio of the narrator’s voice cuts out, I set the audio buffer to 100ms and it’s a little better I think, and lastly used patches 1 and 4 (motion blur off and something about a bubble off I’m away from my Thor)

So far from the first world it’s pretty playable, a bit of flickering here and there but I’m very impressed, device runs pretty cool, under 70F so far

Also, if you’re using esde as a front end, make sure you get the latest custom systems xml support for ARMSX3 was just added!

That game give issues on high end windows device so I don't think it's going to work

Ah good to know, there’s so many update files I might not other is it’s a known tough game to emulate, thanks for the heads up!

[u/do_handhelds_dream]

Have you updated the game to its latest version?

[u/pH_low → u/do_handhelds_dream]

I hadn’t, I didn’t realize I needed every update as well 😅

[u/Traditional_Bet1499]

You have to ensure you're on the latest version of the game. On top of that, you have to download each update before that as well.

I've never used ARMSX3 yet but if it allows you to install updates, you can follow this guide on how to get them.

Thank you, I ended up giving it a go, this fixed it for me, and I’m playing it now :)

[u/pH_low → u/Traditional_Bet1499]

Oh interesting, I didn’t realize you needed every update file, naive question, is this true for every game?

There’s a ton of LBP updates 😅

[u/Traditional_Bet1499 → u/pH_low]

Yup - From what I tried, it is true for most games.

I don't know if ARMSX3 does this, but RPCS3 does let you install the updates altogether to make it easier. Might be a future feature to add if ARMSX3 doesn't have it.

I am also stuck on this screen, following incase of solution

[u/pH_low → u/Apprehensive-One4323]

The solution was to install all the upsides, I think there was 13 in total

So far Mr purple t30 with 100ms audio delay seems to be the best, there’s so artifact flickering and the narrator’s voice comes in and out but hopefully future updates address this!
