PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

[CrazyDiamond]

Minna no Golf 3 (Hot Shots Golf 3) runs horribly, but after more testing I've found that courses played on rainy weather run flawlessly at full speed. I believe the shadows are at fault since shadows are disabled during the rain. If there is a config to disable shadows or change them to make the game playable, I would be more than grateful.

Did anyone ever get back to you one this? Does such a config file exist for Hot Shots Golf 3? I know that the PS2 compatibility list says something about needing a config file to disable shadows but I have no idea where to get my hands on one...

I'll try to whip up a config today...I think it should be doable with my current knowledge.

Steambot Chronicles (SLUS_213.44) speedhack + blur removal. Dandelion issue can be easily fixed with universal config if needed. Speedhack on PCSX2 give huge boost, on PS4 not at all, so PS3 need testing..

Sweet! I will test this when I can. I assume this is a similar thing to what Sony did with Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2 for its PS2 Classic release?

Yes, and no. I'm patching different runtimes, but idea to do that came from ZZT2.

 

[mrjaredbeta]

Config fixes the frame rate from a quick test of the opening gameplay portion.

offical ZZT2 config is amazing.
without config only 10~15fps,add config only some heavy weather footage will drop some fps.

Is this list still being updated? I have 4 new entries to add, all tested as ISO on a slim ps3

The King of Fighters '94 Re-Bout (J) [SLPS-25449]: works perfectly
The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match (J) [SLPS-25915]: works perfectly
The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match (Tougeki Ver.) (J) [SLPS-25983]: gameplay okay but audio completely cuts off and remains silent until you go back to XMB
The King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 (E) [SLES-54255]: works perfectly

This is what you're looking for: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List

You can add your findings to this list. It's grown so much over the past few years...

Prafull at the PCSX2 forums posted some speed hacks: https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Fixing-unplayable-games?page=43

Quick look shows that these games have slowdowns on netemu as well. Possible fixes?

EDIT: Oh, I just noticed that you're pretty active in that thread anyways.

We got proper config for Primal, so that one for sure is not needed on ps3. If Ghosthunter, and Yanba use the same runtimes on VU, then maybe will be better to port Primal config. He kinda removed EE VU sync there. Depend what it was used for, if it is some performance optimizations, then is safe to use. But if it is something that need correct sync, then something can break later. Graphic, or geometry.

Ghosthunter SLUS 20993. Please, test. Eventual speed improvements should be easy noticeable.

if that not work, then we will use prafull patches.

Not with this config, i can't properly fix it without PS3, but im 99% sure that one of those config will allow to jest get that moment pass.

Causing massive slow down, but later that config can be removed.
