tbh, I'm not an emulator guy. This is the biggest game I've ever tried to play on my computer (before this it was Mario and some old GameBoy games for nostalgic reasons) The game played PERFECTLY for a while... then at one specific loading screen... it freezes. If anyone recognizes the part about 3 hours into game, I traversed the sewers to sneak into the castle to steal the treasures... Before leaving the sewers it promps: Are you sure you're ready, you can't return once you go forward. I click yes, he walks up the stairs.. then black screen and "Not Responding" 
I have searched many forums over and downloaded, changed, attempted all configs I could stand before caving in and asking for help. This is my current Config:
Graphics : GSDx 1873 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.15
Controller : SSSPSX Pad Plugin Pressure Mod 1.7.0

Usb : USBnull Driver 0.6.0
Sound : ZeroSPU2r514-Dev 0.4.6
BIOS : USA v01.60 (07/02/2002) Console
I know, wall of text >.< if you need more info let me know. Thanks in advance
