Image within an image on PPSSPP

So, I had this exact same issue back when I was running this game full time. 9 out of 10 of my runs, I would start the run and then when I got to the burning house, suddenly I had a picture within a picture. It's kind of faded into the background and you can barely see it but it's in the upper left corner and it's literally just an exact image of what's happening in the full picture.

I have scoured the PPSSPP forums looking for a way to fix this issue and haven't found anything. Sometimes it randomly goes away and then I can do 1 or 2 runs and then it comes back and I end up having to restart 10 times in a row to get it to go away. And that includes completely closing PPSSPP and re-opening it and re-launching the game.

At this point, it's gotten so annoying that it's making me not want to run the game. I actually really enjoy 0rigiins but it's this emulator issue that's just driving me insane.

So, my question is: has anyone else that's using emulator had this issue? Any ideas how I can fix it? I'm desperate to get this issue resolved. I definitely don't want to submit a run that has it so it's just killing my drive to speedrun this game. I posted an image on Twitter so you can see what the problem actually looks like. Just look in the upper left corner.

yes, i think in some of my runs i have that, sometimes works fine and others its there but its only on the house on fire, and in asylum on the stairs going to the pills puzzle i have to put the map and close it to fix the texture

The one on the stairs going to the pill puzzle...I get that no matter what I do. I was told on the PPSSPP forums that it was an issue with the way the emulator handles the flashlight. But that doesn't explain why it only happens in that one spot. Either way, I definitely get that issue on every run but so does almost every other video I've seen on the leaderboard. I didn't even know you could get rid of it.

Picture within a picture thing though feels different from that scene. Because I can get the picture in a picture problem to go away after a restart sometimes but then the texture in the pill hallway is always still there when I get there - every time without fail. That hallway is just something I've gotten used to being in every run at this point.

The picture within a picture thing is confusing though. I wonder if it's trying to put the game in it's original resolution but then upscaling it and then somehow the original version (not upscaled) is showing up in the corner. It almost seems like a programming error to me.

Over a year later I've started running this game again and the "picture in a picture" thing that sometimes happens at the beginning of the game is still happening and I still can't figure out why or how to get rid of it. Sometimes restarting PPSSPP works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I get it 8 runs in a row and sometimes I don't get it all day. It's very strange. I took a screenshot of what I'm talking about. This scene at the burning house is the last time it happens in the run - it never appears after this segment again. But if I'm going to get it, I always get it in the burning house. Unlike the flashlight bug which is consistent, this one comes and goes and I have no idea what to do about it.

This is about shaders,dont put any of them,try not over like 5x psp and only turn on half of the extra rendering stuffs like vsync and etc. i can share my config if you want and etc.

I don't think I've changed anything from whatever the default was - Origins is the only game I play on this emulator. But sure, feel free to share your settings and I'll make sure mine match and everything.
