PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

@Agrippa Yeah...I don't think there will ever be a game that is "superior" on netemu. We can only hope for that on par experience. Games that tend to be unlocked or variable frame rate also suffer a little bit more on ps3. I can think of the Tony Hawk American Wasteland as a good one, where it barely reaches 60fps while the ps2 reaches 60 much more frequently.

That's just the sad truth. The happy and somewhat amazing truth is that ps2 games do in fact work and Sony made a pretty darn good emulator for hardware from 2006. There will always be those games that don't work or will never work, but for the games that do it is quite nice to be able to play psx ps2 and ps3 all on the same platform. :)
 
It's understandable. That's why I like to verify the compatibility reports, because some of them are too optimistic. I do not have a lot of games and time though. ;)
 
I have seen reports about the Valkyrie Profile 2 PAL having better compatibility than the NTSC version. I have compared NTSC's 480p widescreen mode with PAL interlaced widescreen one. Smoothing and upscaling turned off of course. To me, there is no big difference between the two - the slowdown does appear in the 2D mode. Thanks to the vsync and the game genre, it's not as iritating as a God of War II tearing. I used a custom config for both versions. I know there exist some codes to disable a GameGuard, at least for the PAL version. Maybe it could help fixing some memory patching solutions eventually.
 
I don't think that PS2 patch engine will be able to handle out of elf range codes. So all 0x01feXXXX codes will not work. Making whole patch useless.
 
You're right I forgot it was another game I used patch engine, I used memory card saves the last two listed. I did not even use the pnatch.

Does it mean that the protection is hidden partially outside the main executable? Similar to the Up Your Arsenal's anti-HDL one?

Up Your Arsenal anti emu code is IOP related as far as i know. Patch for it was to EE because main ELF stored also IOP modules.
VP2 anti cheat mechanism is different, more complicated. All code is in main executable, just patch by Maori-Jigglypuff rebuild that code outside of range that ELF itself is created. 99% elf files is constructed like that to save space, maybe for some other reasons.
And since ps2 patch engine is basically hex editor that can read memory addresses instead of file addresses, there is no way to patch something that is not in ELF, but in real EE memory.

actually if you read PS2PatchEngine's description you will see it says
"PS2 Patch Engine is a tool designed to embed both static (ELF) and run-time (memory) patches directly into PS2 disc images."
so it can do Memory patches too (but you have to add " memory" to the end of the pnach line so for example the line
patch=1,EE,20A41C08,extended,FFFFFFFF
would become
patch=1,EE,20A41C08,extended,FFFFFFFF memory
and it will keep patching that memory address to FFFFFFFF while the game runs.

But yes it does have big limitations on the codes it will accept so im not sure it will work with the codes for VP2

Now i see. Still don't know how it really work. Looks like it is injecting cheat engine into elf, that why mastercode requirements.
No idea how patches are added then, even if you find place in elf to add hook with cheat engine, then you also need to store codes somewhere. This is a lot of data that need to be added to elf, and usually space is very limited.

But is worth to try if VP2 patches wok then. I went ahead, and modified pnach according to requirements.

kozarovv that does seem to work (was short on time so i havent tested all codes in there but i tested a few and they seem to be working like "Press the "Select"-Button in Shop and sell or buy 1 Item to get 99999999 OTH" and the instant win, i cant say they will all work since i havent got time to test them all, im also not fully sure on how he gets ps2patchengine to work but it does seem to work with most games i have thrown at it in the past so the compatability rate seems high. And in the official posts for ps2patchengine he does say this about the program

Code: 
Technical FAQ

    "How can you embed code into an executable without breaking it?"
    - By knowing that PS2 games are written in C - in this case by exploiting string.h.
    - string.h functions compiled into PS2 games are stand-alone and vector optimized to take advantage of the PS2's 128-bit registers and vector instruction set, this can make them very fast for very large data sets but it also makes the implementations very long.
    - It is possible to write much shorter but identically functional versions of these routines - this is how PS2 Patch Engine creates usable space in the executable where the code for the patch engine and the patch tables reside.
    - The following functions can be replaced by PS2 Patch Engine: memcpy, strncpy, strlen, strcpy, memchr, memset (replaced in that order as patch table size requires), in the case of memcpy, memmove must also be located in the executable so that the memcpy function can be replaced by a single jump instruction.
    - In order to verify the shorter implementations of these functions I used Red Hat's string.h test for embedded systems, compiled with PS2SDK and tested in PCSX2.
    - Interesting side note - the implementation of strcat produced by PS2SDK actually fails this test (I used a reference implementation in C when testing to avoid false errors).
    "What is the performance impact of running an embedded patch engine?"
    That's a tricky question - on the one hand the replaced string.h functions should be much slower for large data sets, but for very small (possibly more commmon) data sets they may actually be the same or even faster.
    One thing is for sure - the performance will not be identical but given the speed of the Emotion Engine (290+ Mhz) the differences *should* be effectively unnoticable.
    "Do modified .bin files have correct error coding?"
    Yes! EDC (Error Detection Code) and ECC (Error Correcting Code) are recalculated for each modified sector in .bin files, I have verified correct calculation for Mode 1 and Mode 2 Form 1 sectors.
    "Are multi-track images supported?"
    Yes! PS2 Patch Engine does not modify any part of an image that would break a multi-track image, it will also automatically create a matching .cue file when patching a .bin image if one already exists in the same directory as the .bin.
 
Yeah I mean I already tested the other two memory card saves and the cheats definitely work, but I only played like 1 hour. But the real question is does the pnatch fix the slow down etc.. that happens at certain parts of the game by using patch engine.
 
If those codes do indeed work, then theoretically the frame rate can be "fixed" by dividing it from 60 to 30 (or in this case 50 to 25). I found the memory address that did this a couple months back for the NTSC-U version, so I would just have to find the same for PAL. Of course the only downfall of this would be the 2.5D field segments would be halved, but in turn it would run full speed. Also, the battle segments would still be 50fps since netemu doesn't struggle there (I haven't tested much at all!).
 
Code: 
patch=1,EE,2048DE6C,extended,00000001 memory
This code for VP2 PAL limits the frame rate at all times to 25fps. In cutscenes, the game sets this value to 1 limits the game to 25fps. In 2.5D segment, world map, this value goes to 0 and unlocks the limit to 50fps. This patch just sets it to 1 at all times for a locked 25fps. I guess memory locations shift around when in battle, so idk what will happen when entering a battle on netemu. Can you test this @Devildwarf ?

kozarovv that does seem to work (was short on time so i havent tested all codes in there but i tested a few and they seem to be working like "Press the "Select"-Button in Shop and sell or buy 1 Item to get 99999999 OTH" and the instant win, i cant say they will all work since i havent got time to test them all, im also not fully sure on how he gets ps2patchengine to work but it does seem to work with most games i have thrown at it in the past so the compatability rate seems high. And in the official posts for ps2patchengine he does say this about the program

Technical FAQ

    "How can you embed code into an executable without breaking it?"
    - By knowing that PS2 games are written in C - in this case by exploiting string.h.
    - string.h functions compiled into PS2 games are stand-alone and vector optimized to take advantage of the PS2's 128-bit registers and vector instruction set, this can make them very fast for very large data sets but it also makes the implementations very long.
    - It is possible to write much shorter but identically functional versions of these routines - this is how PS2 Patch Engine creates usable space in the executable where the code for the patch engine and the patch tables reside.
    - The following functions can be replaced by PS2 Patch Engine: memcpy, strncpy, strlen, strcpy, memchr, memset (replaced in that order as patch table size requires), in the case of memcpy, memmove must also be located in the executable so that the memcpy function can be replaced by a single jump instruction.
    - In order to verify the shorter implementations of these functions I used Red Hat's string.h test for embedded systems, compiled with PS2SDK and tested in PCSX2.
    - Interesting side note - the implementation of strcat produced by PS2SDK actually fails this test (I used a reference implementation in C when testing to avoid false errors).
    "What is the performance impact of running an embedded patch engine?"
    That's a tricky question - on the one hand the replaced string.h functions should be much slower for large data sets, but for very small (possibly more commmon) data sets they may actually be the same or even faster.
    One thing is for sure - the performance will not be identical but given the speed of the Emotion Engine (290+ Mhz) the differences *should* be effectively unnoticable.
    "Do modified .bin files have correct error coding?"
    Yes! EDC (Error Detection Code) and ECC (Error Correcting Code) are recalculated for each modified sector in .bin files, I have verified correct calculation for Mode 1 and Mode 2 Form 1 sectors.

Then it is really cool app, not only advanced hex editor like i said earlier. :oops:
I never really read its documentation, because i never really used it, excluding some test for PS4. But it seems to be nice app to test memory patches.

By any chance you are interested into testing config for this game?
I don't think it will help, but maybe.. This is workaround for using 0x12 command by ignoring sync completely.
SLES_528.45 only.

Hello friends, anybody have info about game Digimon Rumble Arena 2, for me this game freeze after minutes of play on all game in menu in stages the result is the same the game freeze, someone know if this game have fix?. Because i tryed play with many configs that solve freeze but none solve to freezing of this game is same case for the pal version as ntsc. Some configs that i used were: Mafia 1, all of Tony hawk, Hack Infection part 1 and metal slug antology. but repit none config worked in HEN and CFW

Since we may possibly can fix Valkyrie Profile 2 with pnatchs using ps2 patch engine couldn't it theoretically work on other games that need to be fixed too?

On the PCSX2 Forum there's a whole bunch of codes for widescreen, 60 fps, no interlacing etc... I don't know if it would fix any games but just throwing it out there https://forums.pcsx2.net/Forum-Tools-Applications-Homebrew

You can also create your own pnatchs with this tool if you know what you're doing (I don't) of course it's main purpose is cheat codes https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Quick-pnach-tool

Here is also pnatch converter https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=94/

If nothing else is gained out of this at least here is a huge list of widescreen patches that can be used to add to PS2 ISOs for PS3 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nqgo4O2NWJi-yODOwb1k9AgdFJsfvJp1/view

Managunz already do this. While they are nice addons for game experience, those codes won't fix anything. Just do what they supposed to do.
Also 90% 480p codes not gonna work on PS3.
