PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

[mrjaredbeta]

can someone help me out?gran turismo 4 black screen randonly when chhosing arcade mode stages with config loaded from managunz,is it the issue normal?

Last I knew the game worked fine with config with some minor slowdown. I have only tested GT3.

 

[Rafaelrios]

apparently game freezes if u take longer than 15 seconds in each screen in arcade mode,as always the compatibilty list being useless

someone add this to the list.

also setting brightness to 0 fix screen flickering.


@mrjaredbeta can u make a config to fix this?

 

[Major_Pothead92]

@Major_Pothead92 Try downloading the config from here: http://ps3.aldostools.org/ps2config.html

Make sure it is the "custom" config.

Alriiiiight fkn epic! It seems to be running just as well as underground 1. Not sure what I did wrong when I made the config myself. I compared the custom config file I downloaded to the one I made myself — Only difference was the one I made myself had an extra set of "00" at the end, not sure what that was about.

Thank you for getting this classic working on the ps3! The true king of the consoles, imo!

P.S. do you think this config would make any difference in Most Wanted? I've played through that one with no config, thought it was playable but definitely could be better.

I haven't tried the game yet so I don't know.

It's possible that something similar is slowing that game down, but this exact config will not work (and will probably break the game at some point). Do you know if the PS2 Classics version has slowdown? If not, Sony probably implemented some type of config to fix it.

Afaik the PS2 Classics version got pulled from the playstation store for some reason, no idea if they did so. It's playable though in my opinion. Epic work here, spent a good hour and a half playing Underground 2 — haven't encountered any big slowdowns or gamebreakers. I think I remember reading back a few years ago that this was one of those games that would never get fixed!

can timesplitter 2 be fixed?kozarov said that nothing worked on trying to fix the black screen.

Wow, fantastic work! Seems like all freezes are fixed now!

I think there are some bugs related to fpu calculations with opening start menu and navigator voices(?), so I will probably add on to this config with that, along with some possible speed hacks. Again, thank you for this. Another game I thought would never work on netemu...

This may be a dumb question but is it possible to assign 2 disc games as disc 1 and 2 (like grandia 3) or create a 2 disc pkg? Just curious.

Additionally fixes opening start button prompt and freeze (this is reproducible on pcsx2 when FPU rounding is set to nearest). Thanks again @kozarovv for initial fix!

@pokegts90 I believe it is possible. I think @sandungas posted some information on it a while back, but maybe I am thinking of something else.

Significant speed boost. The performance is *just about* on par with PS2 now. L2H improvement helps the most, but paired with 0x21 set at 0 and lwsync command 0x41 seems to put it at an extremely stable FPS. Is this the holy trinity of netemu speed hacks?

I'm not the best at gauging FPS just from looking at it, but I'd say these 3 commands took it from around 15-20FPS to a nice 40-60...and as the game runs unlocked, the FPS drops do not affect game speed. Although not perfect, the frame drops will never get to the point where it affects your gameplay decisions and control now. Very impressed with this.

This may be a dumb question but is it possible to assign 2 disc games as disc 1 and 2 (like grandia 3) or create a 2 disc pkg? Just curious.

By using a "PS2 classics" PKG is posible, because uses an special file intended to store the info about the disc swapping, the configs (one for each disc) requires to add some info at his ending to indicate the disc ID

Otherway, if we boot it with cobra (not encrypted ISO/CONFIG) we dont have that special file, and it seems cobra is not ready to "pass" this info about multidisc games to netemu
Dunno, eventually someone could imagine how to implement this feaure in next cobra versions

I wrote a couple of walls of text somewhere in this thread about how the PS2 multidisc selector works, @kozarovv and me was looking at it, is simple but the implementation in cobra maybe is not so simple

 

[kozarovv]

That should fix both games in... McDonald's Original Happy Disc SCPM_851.01
Don't ask me why Remember that disc is CD.
While i'm pretty confident that gonna work, testing is welcome as always.

Devwiki says that Inuyasha The Secret of the Cursed Mask is unplayable but I tried messing with the netemu debug config menu with the L1,R1,left,square + start combo using the soft hang option and I was able to leave the village, save and go to the next area from the world map. Can anyone else test this?

 

[Rafaelrios]

@Dragonsukyo add ur findings to the wiki,a lot of people don't know about the secret menu.


@kozarovv does psx2 patchs also work on ps3?gran turismo 4 have one that disable all in game videos,issue is the same on ps3,it is really annoyinng if it takes longer than 15 seconds game freeze.

 

[Dragonsukyo]

so I just edit the devwiki with what i found? ok I'll try that

I'm not sure I trust myself with editing it, if someone could add the thing about the secret menu and the soft hang option that would be appreciated

I really am not good at this thing wiki thing LUL

@Dragonsukyo Try this, it should just have the "soft lock" option enabled on game boot.

If this one works, I can edit the wiki for you to say to use the config.

@Rafaelrios I will take a look at GT4 soon to see if freeze is fixable. Most pcsx2 patches work but you have to write them in a specific way and also add the original opcode to be changed as well, but disabling all videos would be pretty pointless for this tbh and there's probably an easier fix.

 

[Rafaelrios]

@mrjaredbeta the freezing seem to be caused by the videos on the backgrounds on gt4,while selecting tracks.

and i can confirm that hang for softlock on secret menu fix

InuYasha - The Secret of the Cursed mask

Also brave story: wataru no bouken is playable someone add this to list.

 

[Dragonsukyo]

@mrjaredbeta that config seems to work for now until we can have someone test if they can reach the end of the game with it.
So at least you can change the devwiki for the game.

Memory offset values courtesy of @nifengyuexia (https://www.psx-place.com/threads/r...onfiguration-on-ps4.16131/page-57#post-277174), I have only changed the value from 0x001D77C8 to 0x001D78A8. I don't know if it's sufficent to work, since I don't know anything about config commands. I haven't got a game to test, so I am waiting for a feedback.
