PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

I have not tested extensively, but the Gran Turismo 4 PAL version does play nicely and without a noticeable stuttering. The 50 Hz gaming could be the way to go, when it comes to the emulation of demanding games. Remember to lower the brightness value in the display settings from +3 to 0.
it does play nicely while in race,but freeze on menu in arcade mode,i tested both PAL and ntcs.
 
Maybe it is possible to disable the extraneous effects that overlay the FMV. For now, just speedrun the menu to avoid the freeze. ;)

sometimes will freeze anyway even u move really fast,so make no difference.

@mrjaredbeta timesplitter 2 can't be fixed?i think kozarov said once he tried to fix it once,but nothing worked.

hi guys..
any way to play Mafia SLES 522.81? Still freezing in the screen before the menu
PS3 4.87 COBRA
Fortunately there is a known CONFIG which fixes this issue - see here.

A quick way to apply this fix would be mounting the ISO in ManaGunZ (which has CONFIG files built in to it) - this should automatically place the .CONFIG in dev_hdd0/PS2ISO along with the backup itself. After that you can mount with whichever backup manager you prefer.

I try and let you know
EDIT:
I was able to get it to work using this config file: https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ/blob/master/pkgfiles/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/GX/SLES_522.81.CONFIG

The ghost cars in GT4 are not transparent at all. It makes cornering more difficult when they are close, assuming you are using a bumper cam.
 
NASCAR Thunder 2002 (SLUS-20266), NASCAR Thunder 2003 (SLUS-20535),
NASCAR Thunder 2004 (SLUS-20824), NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup (SLUS-21003)

Code:
3D 00 00 00 57 44 00 00 46 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Dramatically speeds up the game(s) and fixes potential PS3 hard shutdowns in race.


A couple of notes:
- NASCAR Thunder 2003 and 2004 still may soft lock on main menu loading screen when first starting up the game (about 50/50 chance). This is the *only* soft lock, and after getting into the main menu you will not have to worry. The other ones may have this as well, but I did not experience it in my testing.
- All 4 games experience a slight "stopping" effect due to something...I am not sure exactly what causes it, but it does not seem to be due to amount of cars on screen. All 43 cars can be on screen and still no slowdown. Some tracks run flawlessly, others have this effect occasionally (Bristol). However, this doesn't happen often! It might be due to car reflections, sun glare, shadows, or something out of grasp. Overall, still very playable, but can be problematic.


I previously thought these games would be forever broken, but now (arguably) the best NASCAR game ever is now playable on netemu! I will spend some time trying to find the source of the stopping effect, but game is still very much playable now. :)

Time splitter 2 better to play with GCN emu,it support mouse-keyboard.
this game hard to aim with its own control setting.
