Title
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky freezes during Team Charm ending in Limestone Cavern
Post
Hi! I'm playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky on Windows using melonDS 1.1, and I've encountered a consistent freeze during Special Episode 4: Here Comes Team Charm!
The freeze happens at the end of Limestone Cavern, during the sequence involving Ditto and the Bellossom/Sentret disguises.
Specifically:
Team Charm reaches the ending sequence after completing Limestone Cavern.
Ditto begins explaining the transformation into Bellossom.
During the dialogue, Lopunny, Gardevoir, and Medicham disappear from the screen.
The dialogue box then disappears.
The music stops.
The game becomes completely unresponsive and does not continue.
This happens consistently at the same point.
The game otherwise runs normally, including the Aggron fight immediately before this section.
Emulator/settings I've tested
melonDS 1.1
Windows
Software renderer
Threaded software rendering: ON
VSync: OFF
JIT recompiler: OFF
Fast-forward disabled
I also tried the Close/Open Lid hotkey workaround, but it did not resolve the freeze.
I replayed the dungeon and encountered the same freeze again.
My save point is immediately before entering Limestone Cavern, so I can reproduce the problem from there if that would be useful.
I'm wondering whether this is a known melonDS compatibility issue with this particular cutscene/event in Explorers of Sky, or whether there is another setting I could try.
Thank you!

Can you upload your save file here or on a github issue?

Welp, I thought it would be easy for me to reach the freeze by your save point and see if the freeze happens for me too. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I am doing and I have died many times so I give up.

Try using the latest nightly build to see if it makes a difference.

I’m not familiar with this at all 🥲 is there any way you could either post a tutorial on how to do this or anything? The freeze for me happens after the fight with weavile and her crew once you hit the bottom of the dungeon. There’s a ton of dialogue that ensues afterwards, and eventually ditto transforms and explains everything. The freeze happens right before a transitional scene change from what I remember.. he’s about to show everyone the time gear but as everyone walks off screen, the transition just never happens; the music stops, no dialogue boxes, no characters. Quite odd
