I've gotten this bug regularly when leaving a in-game dialogue cutscene that doesn't dump me to another zone. For example, when Nozomi talks to you about the kitten, or when you buy the Soda for what's his face. What happens is that I am locked out of interaction with anything, my inventory won't open, nor will my journal. The B button prompts a sort of free look, and the trigger buttons still work correctly. Nothing will trigger, not walk-into zones like the quik-mart, not even my curfew.
Usually reloading has fixed this problem, I experienced it at most twice with a conversation with Nozomi. However, I am currently experiencing it with the forklift training session with Mark. I've attempted maybe three or four times without a different outcome.
I downloaded the CDIs off the tracker, which didn't work in their virgin state. I burnt them, and ripped them to MD5 to make them work. Can someone tell me if this is a disc image issue, or an emulator issue?
