It does freeze, because executable files are different between the versions. Try this config:

Spyro Enter the Dragonfly (SLUS-20315) (SLES-51043)
Code:

This config additionally speeds up frame rate. It is now comparable to real PS2 hardware (also had slowdown).

I have played using this config for quite a bit today, playing through the first 5 areas (including Cloud 9), and I have not run into any freezing issues at all. I came across the one softlock that @Major_Pothead92 mentioned while going into Cloud 9, but this is remedied by simply resetting the game and loading back into the area. There are no other freezes that I encountered, so either I am extremely lucky, or the 0x15 command is fixing the freeze.

The other thing is I saw some very minor SPS issues in the farm area. This was extremely minor and did not hinder gameplay at all. As I have played through the first half (or more) of the game, I will update the list and put this game as "minor issues" for now.

Big thanks for this! I'd say the game is pretty playable now. The loading screens aren't as bad as they were on the PS2 either! And yeah this game had heaps of problems on the ps2, never got around to finishing it for a number of reasons, didn't have a memory card when I was first gifted that game either. Loved Spyro when I was a kid. Heard the gamecube version was better and the greatest hits version fixed the long loading screens but idk.
 
Hi! Any chance for a fix for Okage - Shadow King? There's massive slowdown and flickering in the outside areas, probably because of the many effects the game uses.

Also I've tried the japanese game Poinie's Pon and while it isn't really a big deal, there's a black bar at the top of the screen at all times(and no black bar at the bottom so it doesn't feel natural). The game is listed as working perfectly, so could it be the iso? Is this a common problem?

Yeah! This fix the freeze on the molotov party loading screen.
But how are these configurations created?
 
I am glad to hear it is working. It should also fix the freezing before the mission called "The Priest".

The more talented people debug the games and fix them using the emulator commands. I am just using their work by comparing created configs with executable files from different language or region versions. They are different from each other mostly, due to the memory offset, original values or patched values. My first config did not work, because the third patched value is different in every language version of Mafia and I did copy it straight from the English config. I will update other PAL configs later on. They are 1:1 copy of the English config currently.

All untested, but should work fine.

I can take a look at Okage sometime soon. As for Poinie's Poin, that's probably just how the game outputs it's video. I've played it on netemu and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

2C 53 33 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Disables shadows to improve performance (untested on netemu). @HeidenNaugler Try and see if the speed is fixed, otherwise I can disable some more effects.

Wow, that was quick, thanks! I've tested it a bit and there seems to be only a few minor slowdowns now when the camera is zoomed out and that strange bloom(?) effect shows up. But I wonder if maybe the opposite would work, keeping the shadows, but removing other effects? As the shadow effects are kinda important for this game.

Shadow effects seem to hit performance a bit harder than the blur effect, but I know what you mean...shadow is literally in the title of the game :D

Code: 
3D 00 00 00 57 44 00 00 0A 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
50 2A 33 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
This is blur disabled.

Code: 
3D 00 00 00 57 44 00 00 0A 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
50 2A 33 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2C 53 33 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
This is both shadows and blur disabled.

I am sure the second one will fix the slowdown, but I am unsure about the blur one.

@MadSaint1998 Speedhack config will get Driv3r into a playable state performance wise, but the cars still have bad AI on mission 2. I got past mission 2 by making the car AI more accurate but it dramatically slows down the frame rate. Maybe I can limit down the range and it will be playable...not sure though.

Scarface is still unplayable.
