What area of the game

I've been having a strange issue with playing Gundam G Generation Overworld on the emulator.
Some times out of nowhere, the game will simply hang up for a few seconds before going back to running normally. There doesn't really see to be a real pattern to when it happens, but most of the time it occurs when I start a battle with animations turned on.
I've messed with several settings both in the emulator and in my own computer, yet nothing seems to really fix this issue; except for changing the I/O timing to Host. Using Fast or Simulate UMD delays, they still happen, but by changing to host, they no longer happen.
This however causes an entirely separate issue; now instead of these freezes/stutters, the game will randomly be stuck loading for absurdly long times, be it before dialogue, when starting and ending battles with animations, or even in the middle of a in-battle transition.

Just like with the hang ups, I have found no way of correcting these load times either.

You probably mean version 1.17.1 instead of 1.71.1, right?

Have you tried using the latest dev build from https://www.ppsspp.org/devbuilds? it may have fixed some issue from v1.17.1

I've tried using the latest dev build and still encountered the same freezing.
