Xenogears weird lockup

[BlackKnight]

When fighting the Deus boss battle using the 1.6.0 version of ePSXe, it seems to lock up. But it doesn't freeze, because the animations are still going and the music still plays. It's just that nothing happens. I've tried using multiple GPUs, including the soft GPU, and none of these fix it.

Exact cause: during the first encounter with Deus in Xenogears, he will sometimes do an attack that causes the game to not proceed, but not freeze either.

How to reproduce: Enter boss battle. Select 'Charge' for all three characters until Deus does an attack which causes the problem to occur. I have never gone through the battle without it happening.

The save state is too large to attach to this post, but I can e-mail it if you want to explore this further.

Thanks!
