 The scummvm ini file looks ok to me (as far as I can tell).
 One recommendation, to see if anything changes, would be to disable
 subtitles for the game (and also remove the SUBTITLES.MIX if you have it
 from the game's folder).

 The location of the log file might be visible from the ScummVM launcher,
 if you go through "Gloabal Options..." -> "Paths" and check the "ScummVM
 log path:" value. There should be a "View" button as well there to view
 the file's contents but I don't think that you can copy them from there.
 (These options are available on the Windows port; I am unsure if the PSP
 port has them as well).
 Otherwise, I would look for the log file (named scummvm.log) either in the
 same folder as the scummvm.ini or in a "Logs" subfolder of that folder.
 There is a high chance that the log file gets reset (wiped and re-written
 from the start) each time you launch ScummVM, which is why I am asking for
 its contents after the crash, but before restarting ScummVM.

 Raising the ScummVM debug level should be possible from the ScummVM
 launcher, if you go through "Global Options..." -> Misc and change the
 Debug level value to something like 5 or 6. This value is probably only
 effective for that particular "session" with ScummVM and will reset itself
 to "None" after quitting and relaunching (but please check and reset
 accordingly if it doesn't, since you don't want ScummVM to be outputting
 large amounts of debug info unless you're debugging something). We only
 want the debug level to be raised for the session when you replicate the
 crash with the game, so as to get a thorough log file.

 Thank you for the examples. This is encouraging. Have you tried something
 like "Curse of Monkey Island" (this is a title that uses a 640x480
 resolution, same as Blade Runner) or "Riven" or "The 11th Hour" (titles
 that use more than 256 colors, same as Blade Runner)? If not, and if you
 own these games, can you test them as well?
 You can test Curse of Monkey Island using the demo "The Curse of Monkey
 Island (Windows Large Demo)" provided from the ScummVM Demos page.
 We have a demo for the 11th Hour as well (try the "The 11th Hour: The
 Sequel to The 7th Guest (DOS Interactive Demo)" ) and Riven ("Riven: The
 Sequel to Myst (Windows Demo)".)
 There probably could be less demanding demos to test, but I can't think of
 any more off the top of my head.

 While you're at it, can you also test with the Blade Runner demo (also
 available on the demos page). This is a non-interactive short demo reel
 that was made with an older version of the video encoding algorithm than
 the one used in the game -- but it does run with the BladeRunner ScummVM
 engine and would tell us something if it manages to run ok.
