Scarface: The World is Yours (SLUS-21111)
Code: 
3D 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 0A 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
48 80 4F 00 F4 FF 40 16 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Full frame rate fix and freeze fix from last config. All trees, foliage, and some objects such as the shipping containers in the training level are invisible. From the way I see it, this is the *only* way to get good performance out of this game. Disabling literally everything BUT the trees will still have slowdown...so weird.

If there are no missions dependent on trees or these objects, then game should be playable from start to finish. I will keep this here for someone who knows the game better to test it before I add anything to the wiki.

Lol. Good job on Scarface. Will having trees be invisible hinder gameplay or make the game look weird?

If inside a building, gameplay looks perfectly fine. I don't think anything has changed and everything runs great. Otherwise, game looks a little abnormal outdoors. The tree shadows and collisions are still there. But yeah, it is a little odd. I am pretty convinced that there is no other way to have the trees visible with good performance, so this is the only fix Still better than the 10fps from before. :)

I tried the new config, it dosen't freeze anymore at that cutscene, i tried both alternatives cutscenes and it didn't freeze, then i grabbed an 100% save game and repeated a few later missions of the game... the mission "Un-loaded" is very hard because it is in a industrial zone full of invisible containers, trains etc.. but with some practice and few retry's it is completable, just need to be very carefull because enemies hide behind those objects and they are strong, few other missions need to be careful too. The islands maps actually looks very good without trees, the framerate is 100% good :encouragement: im leaving here the save 100% save game in .PSV format ready to insert in the ps3 if anyone wants to try, just go on pause menu -> Cheat and select the mission you want to repeat :)

There's nothing else I can do for Scarface. I won't be looking into that game anymore. Sorry y'all, but it's the best I can do. :(

Hey man, you did great !!! i just did almost every mission of the game !!! for the "Un-load" mission i killed the enemies while inside some vehicle, i did it on first try !!! later on the same mission everything gets visible and easy to complete. Some missions like Nacho's Tanker has few invisible exploding barrels on that boat so just be careful and you will complete them all like me, also the races side-mission on the islands will need little practice as the path have invisible rocks but its piece of cake !! i must say, the game is playable with excellent framerate and completable with Minor Issues like few invisible things but its easy :encouragement::encouragement:

Can you test this config, it seems that you know this game really well. Potentially that should fix some speed issues, and not remove anything.
Code: 
3d 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 0a 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
90 37 64 00 20 00 81 c4 08 00 e0 03 94 37 64 00
80 3f 03 3c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Edit: If that won't help we can also try decrease draw distance for trees, etc. instead of removing them completely.

Wow.... i mean... i'm impressed the game is running pretty good without anything removed !..., i notice it struggles with a little slowdowns while driving and being in place with alot of trees, right now it's really 90% playable actually, i bet if you lower down a little the draw distance or speed up just a little more or something the game will be very much playable :) The game looks really really closed to being 100% playable

I gave this config a try. Played through the mansion and did a bit of freeroam and driving. There's still some slowdowns, especially when driving. Not exactly playable but definitely much, much smoother! This has to be a step in the right direction!
 
Damn, those trees are giving me a headache after messing with the WRC's draw distance settings a thousand times. So here is something for the off the ground adventures:

Ace Combat: Distant Thunder (SCES-50410)
Code: 
3D 00 00 00 57 44 00 00 0B 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
36 BE 1A 00 6C 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 4B 0A 48 2C
48 43 88 00 4B 0B 60 2C 4A 00 02 FF 4A 00 02 FF
4A 00 02 FF 4B 0A 48 2C 4B 0B 60 2C 4A 00 02 FF
4A 00 02 FF 4A 00 02 FF 48 43 88 00 0A 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 F4 BD 13 00 03 00 00 45 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00

PAL port of the @kozarovv config - https://www.psx-place.com/threads/compatibility-list-ps2-on-ps3.1306/page-116#post-252415
 
So, let's see if removing the trees additionally would fix the Scarface's lag. I hope I found the right address for the NTSC version, because I am debugging the PAL version:

Code: 
3d 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 0a 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
90 37 64 00 20 00 81 c4 08 00 e0 03 94 37 64 00
80 3f 03 3c 00 00 00 00 F4 00 51 00 57 00 A0 10
57 00 00 10 00 00 00 00

Here is the trees+foliage remover, objects intact:
Code: 
3d 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 0a 00 00 00 04 00 00 00
90 37 64 00 20 00 81 c4 08 00 e0 03 94 37 64 00
80 3f 03 3c 00 00 00 00 F4 00 51 00 57 00 A0 10
57 00 00 10 00 00 51 00 3C 00 A0 10 3C 00 00 10

Playable !!!!! :)

Tested both configs, the first config is enough to make the driving enjoyable. Only few little lags in some places like in the street of the entrance of the babylon club in both configs, but they dosen't annoy anymore :) in my point of view the game looks now really enjoyable and playable :encouragement:

Can you try lowering just the draw distance without removing anything? ill test and see if it makes the game playable exactly like the configs above.

Do the lags exist in the last @mrjaredbeta config also?

Here is the foliage only remover:
Code: 
3d 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 0a 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
90 37 64 00 20 00 81 c4 08 00 e0 03 94 37 64 00
80 3f 03 3c 00 00 00 00 00 00 51 00 3C 00 A0 10
3C 00 00 10 00 00 00 00

I will take a look on the draw distance later.

His config gived 100% full framerate

Tested the foliage remover only config and it shows same results from the @kozarovv, also noticed something, while Tony is standing or running the game has solid full framerate speed, but when hes driving, the game does that 15 FPS lag stutters like its trying to render alot of stuff at the same time, an example of place to test this is in the entrance of Babylon's club and Sandman's Plantation zone
