on the latest build ppsspp-v0.9.1-832-g2d084ec-windows-amd64, i got this same screen but i did manage to enter the game, the grafics are all messed up as well. After a while the emulator crash.

On ppsspp-v0.9.1-1709-gd49b4fa no changes

This game now goes ingame..
..but it crashes as soon as you try to accept a quest.
Note: Multithreading must be disabled. Otherwise, the game won't even load.

Hmmm strange, because it doesn't happen for me. :]
Entering item menu:
also on latest version(v0.9.6-683-g3249a9a x64 win). No hacks nor experimental options used.
Game does crash when trying to take a quest, but that seems to be a JIT error, can be avoided by turning JIT off.
Only partially through as instead of crash, without JIT the game will randomly freeze the camera(game still takes input etc.) without any errors in the log.(does show a warning about atrac3 stereo audio from time to time, that's probably not related, no other warnings or errors with JIT off)

With jit on and fast memory off, that happens?

Oh bugger, I always have fast mem off, and I did had it off when testing item menu, but then deleted ini for testing the rest properly and forgot it's on by default, in fact it doesn't crash anymore at all even with jit on. At least not when it did previously. Gonna test more.
Edit: also disable I/O on thread, it's also on by default and causes the crash(fast memory ON, JIT ON, I/O on thread OFF = no crash).

Ok now item menu does crash for me as well. Also the crash when getting a quest seems to be random, I rushed through character creation and initial stuff using rapid fire and turbo and it still crashed like half of the time running fine, savestate made prior to talking to npc will not work as it already keeps the crashing element.
Well I found a workaround for both of those crashes or so I think:
- turn off JIT(in system>developer tools), start game, create your character, take a quest, you can enter the item menu at least once as well hopefully nothing will crash, but DON'T move anywhere yet(to avoid freezing the camera),
- make a savestate,
- turn the game off, and re-enable JIT,
- run the game and load your savestate. And for some reason it seems to work fine, can enter item menu, can talk with quest npc as well.
Extra warning: - Don't use savestates at all after loading a savestate made with jit off while jit is on, I would also advise not using cheat menu because both of those things clear/reset jit and it'll restore the crashing. Saying so I passed two missions without a problem like that.
Make sure to save the game normally after each mission as the trick with JIT off works only for starting the game normally, savestates made while jit was on will not be able to help at all, so if it starts crashing again you can only restore playability in this game when having normal save:].
Not sure how far this workaround can get us through.
Well can complete the quest at least for sure, don't have time to test more now, but this would seem a first quest done in this game on ppsspp?

i try to turn off the 'Dynarec(jit)'，item option seem could be open,
but the character out of the town, screen becomes so . and can't control

That's exactly why I warned to not move anywhere with JIT off. Try all the steps. I managed to complete the tutorial quest and save the game normally after.
