I've tried to understand how to do it by searching info on the RPCS3 developer Wiki, activating different utilities while running the game, and using the debugger. I've thought it may be related to having a CPU with 4 cores: Maybe the function is being called one time per core and it triggers the problem, but I haven't seen any setting to reduce the number of cores RPCS3 uses (I've tried to switch all threads settings to 1 without fixing it).Īny ideas on where could I look/search next?

I've tried searching in RPCS3 code the sys_fs_readdir function in case it's used in some kind of loop or something, but I'm not an experienced coder and I don't quite understand where is being used or how to debug the problem.
I think each time RPCS3 reads the file, the character gets added to some array, and it's getting added two to four times incorrectly. The game loads everything when you press start on the start screen, and here's the log for each character:
I've tried many different configurations but I haven't been able to fix the problem with any of them, but I think it's a PPU problem. If you add the music dlc (dlc28 and dlc29), both lists get added twice in the menu. It happens exactly the same with the music menu (Sound Settings / Music Settings). It seems the other dlc characters get added 5 or more times, reaching the limit. The game was built to feature even more dlc, so probably it has 16-20 slots available, and when RPCS3 tries to add more, it crashes. What crashes is that the character menu gets more character entries than the max number. My theory is that what crashes RPCS3 is not entering the character menu. If he's added, it appears 4 times in the menu. You can add a single dlc character that won't crash the game: Fuma (dlc16). When you enter without any dlc character in the folder, each character shows up multiple times: I don't think the dlc characters are the issue though. In order to be able to switch characters, users are deleting dlc characters from the folder, and then you can enter the menu correctly. I think this issue needs more info: When all the DLC characters are included in the USRDIR/dlc folder, and you try to enter the character menu to switch characters, the game freezes.
