The game runs fine, but after the first level the screen goes black and nothing happens. Any suggestions? I assume it has to do something with the trophies.

Use PPU LLVM.

Maybe SPU interpreter (fast).

Tried that, it got even worse.
LLVM + interpreter (fast) doesn't even open menu
LLVM + ASMJIT cuts sound at the menu and doesn't get me past the difficulty selection

So this is the real error:

Code:

·E 0:01:22.718118 {PPU[0x1000011] Thread (_cellsurMixerMain) [0x00acfef8]} 'sys_mutex_unlock' failed with 0x80010009 : CELL_EPERM

Here the sound thread dies and as soon as the game tries to change which music is playing or whatever it waits forever for this thread, that is it hangs.

This is a thread synchronization bug, one of if not the hardest class of bugs to track down. It depends on timing, a faster or slower CPU will change the probability of it happening.
