PPSSPP pre-1.0 versions are banned, and pre-1.4 is not recommended due to a known potential crash during the Gene fight.

Q: I can't Member Swap, what's happening?

Q: Why don't we go to Town for Diversionary Ops?

A: It's much slower than the other locations due to requiring 3 targets.

Q: I keep getting extra spy reports! How do I prevent losing time?

A: You should have at least 2 spies in a location, as using one spy has drastically worse RNG. In NG+, you use the 2 best spies you have, splitting 3 of them between each location during Diversionary Ops.

Q: Python freezes my gun! What do I do?

A: If he's running up to you, get out of First Person View and dodge his melee attack.

Q: Why is Null blocking my shots?
