PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

Evil Dead a Fistful of Boomstick "ID - SLUS 204.03" shows as playable on the CECHA/B01 and CECHC04/E01 "Fully/Partial-Backwards Compatible" and minor issues (slow framerate & shadow texture flickering) on "Non-Backwards Comaptible".

There might be people who know how to build a fix for the game, but remember, not all PlayStation2 titles can be fixed by merely creating a config file for that specific game.

Many games rely on the Graphics Synthesizer, while others rely heavily on the Emotion Engine, and these being replaced with emulated versions, you can expect incompatibilities.

Some of the games that come to my mind, are NFS Underground 2,which runs poorly on the PS2Net_Emu and Ratchet & Clank series which runs extremely slow on PS2Gx_Emu, due to the lack of a physical Emotion Engine,which the Kinetica Engine relies heavily on.

But its definitely worth the try, if someone knows how to do a config file,but the correction for these problems are not guaranteed.

Hey thanks for the heads up
Its kind of frustrating as I cant play it on my Playstation 2 too and Im using it on OPL and still wont boot
there isnt also a place where you can set modes for specific games to make it run
 
PS3 CECH-2503b, Rebug version 4.84.1 Rex, Impact's game id is SLPS-25104 i've tried running it both as a ps2 classic which doesn't work past the ps2 logo as a black screen and as a disc from cobra mode which plays but freezes upon certain battle animation and sprites get inverted and distorted colours.
PS2 Classics versions, usualy packs a config file within the Emulator Settings, if its marked as PS2 Classics, in order to make the game run properly, you will need the emulator configuration,as a RAW dump of the title, will work,but will cause incompatibilities.

On different ocasions,there are PS2 titles that were launched as PS2 Classics, thinking of GTA San Andreas for example or Persona 4, which as far as i am aware, they have a config setting within the emulator,but these games can be played from start to finish in theyre RAW Dump format.

Ok so how will i go about this? is there a guide or similar to do this? Thanks for your help by the way.
 
This odd issue only manifested on 4.82.2 on Gran Turismo 3, running of the optical disc, never happend to me before, on a certian part on the gameplay, the framerate would drop and the screen would shake on ocasion,like the PS2Net_Emu, but it only got "fixed" once the console got rebooted, on 4.84.1 this issue wouldnt manifest, i will test it extensively, but first impressions are positive.
Ok,so ive test a few PlayStation2 titles, and only happens once, fresh boot, but if you restart your game via PS2GX_Emu options,the screen shaking goes away, still an odd issue. I know for a fact that the bloody screen was shaking like playing on PCSX2, and i aint the type of guy to smoke streetcorner weed, and affect my vision lol
 
Experimental code for VP2 (SLES_546.44) should eliminate any freezing by disabling completely game protection, also removed some effects, etc. MAJOR THANKS to Maori-Jigglypuff for reversing game protection!

Unfortunately, it does not eliminate freezing at all. :apologetic:
The first part of the video is SLES-54644 with your new config, the second part of the video is SLUS-21452 with the old config.
 
Freezing. ;) Not slowdowns. Some users reported that game randomly freeze (permanently), that config should fix this.
Ha-ha, sorry I misunderstood it, my bad. I was pretty sure that you were talking about slowdowns, especially when you said "also removed some effects, etc. "
 
Forever Kingdom (SLUS-20343) is not playable. After letting down a drawbridge with a key, I think the game still thinks the bridge is up and there is an invisible barrier preventing you from crossing it. Enemies can spawn on the bridge but you cannot pass the invisible barrier. Changed on the wiki.

EDIT: Actually, I cannot edit the wiki because my IP is blocked...? Don't know.

PLEASE post you memory card image with save close to that place.

Don't worry my IP is also blocked there, you need to create account.
 
Awesome! I will look into that right when i finish playing Yakuza ;)
Did someone say YAKUZA?
