Life Line locks up with latest builds

[juraisa]

I don't have any logs because I frankly do not know how to get PCSX2 to dump a log when this is happening as the emulator is still 'running' but the game is hard locked and EE usage is spiked at 100%. Life Line is essentially unplayable at least on my computer using the latest USBqemu-wheel versions. I see the plugin settings indicate a way to do debug logging but when enables, but I'm not seeing any logs generated unless they're going somewhere outside of the emulator directory.

I tried 0.6.1 and 0.7.3 and both work fine at first but eventually emulation freezes and the emulator resource usage spikes to 100% and requires a task manager kill on Windows. The time it takes to lock up seems to be random, I've had it take from 10 minutes to 25 minutes. Switching to 0.5.2 I was able to play the game for an hour and a half with no crash, switched back to 0.7.3 and the game proceeded to crash again after about 15 minutes.

Any assistance is appreciated, happy to provide logs if able to create them. Using the same emulation configuration I can run games that do not make use of the mic functions without the same crash that Life Line is exhibiting. The crash happens on PCSX2 1.2.1, 1.4.0, and 1.5.0 nightlies using 0.7.3, so I don't suspect it is PCSX2 itself as the game is marked as playable in wiki. Tried various renderer options and audio output options to eliminate an alternate cause, same issue occurs regardless. Dump matches known good checksums from redump.

Which 0.6.1? Try 0.6.1-4 if the hangs might be caused by newer qemu usb code.

sorry for not clarifying, I used 0.6.1-5 when testing and saw freezes, I'll try with 0.6.1-4 here in a bit

tried 0.6.1-4, same lock up. I'll work my way up from 0.5.2 and see when it starts happening

0.6.0-2 froze on the title screen when I walked away before I could even load a save, I don't see a windows binary for 0.6.0-0, 0.5.2-1 does not freeze

How's 0.7.4?
