Possibly related #10812
Backing out of options menu cause game to freeze but audio continues, background loop video in the main menu continues playing. Essentially only 1 thread is locked. The rest of the threads are running fine. The only thread I can pause and play to effect the music and background video is the main thread. There's no spus listed in the debugger. Every thread with 44 00 00 02 is just waiting for another thread to initiate something. RSX is just waiting for somebody else to say go.
Sys_mutex lock is unlocking just fine and will continually just lock run the timer and unlock. Using elads optimizations it happens so fast I can't even see it without slow motion. But presently it locks counts 4s and unlocks. There's no errors in log, no evident cause anywhere that I can see. It's just an issue trying to overwrite the users .ini file for the game. Not a permissions issue cause everything is contained in H:\RPCS3 for me.

OK but this is for Oblivion #10812
E {PPU[0x1000010] Thread (Thread_SaveOptions) [0x01736908]} SYS: 'sys_mmapper_allocate_shared_memory' failed with 0x80010004 : CELL_ENOMEM [1]
I logged before and after the issue and that error stuck out in between logging kernel explorer

Hi everyone, I've tested both BCES00004 & BCUS98112 and they show the same error identified by duduke

Hi everyone, good news!
Enabling libvdec.sprx on advanced options helps you bypass the error and boot without issues.
