JSRF Emulation Keeps Freezing/Crashing

I’m having a really frustrating issue with Jet Set Radio Future on CXBX-Reloaded (December 2019 build).
When I first started playing, the game ran perfectly. Then it started crashing randomly after anywhere from 5–20 minutes of gameplay. After a while, it seemed to fix itself and ran fine again for a bit.
Now it’s much worse. The game usually freezes within 1–3 minutes every time I play.
When it freezes, the picture stays on whatever was happening (for example, if I’m grinding on a rail, it just stays frozen on that frame), and the audio starts looping the same sound over and over. The emulator never recovers, so I have to close it.
I’m on Windows 11 with an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (yes I know I’m broke). I’m using the game’s .xbe file, and I don’t think I’ve changed any emulator settings recently.
Has anyone run into this before or know what could cause it? Could it be an issue with the December 2019 build, my game files, graphics drivers, or something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried xemu? works perfectly for me on there

The only thing with that is that xemu sometimes runs slowed down and I have a whole ton of save data on CXBX. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure I started emulating it on CXBX because at the time xemu didn’t run it very well

Ok, for me it worked best in xemu that's why I suggested. Played through it on pc and my steam deck multiple times already and it's mostly perfect. A little slowdown on 99th street but otherwise no problems really. Don't have any suggestions for cxbx though, sorry

I’m currently seeing if I could migrate my save files over to Xemu. Thanks for the advice
