First of all make a backup of you memory card folder/data. If it's a GPU plugin problen, try another like Pete's D3D, OGL or Peops, which it's the most compatible. If still doesn't work, I'd try another emulator version, I guess you're using ePSXe so give a chance to v1.5.2 if 1.6.0 hangs, for example. Otherwise play with another emulator like PSXven or SSSPSX, load you memory card save, and try to bypass that problematic stage. Good luck

Or perhaps another corrupted CD I'm afraid.
