PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

Yea I will give it a go. And yea BC is never 100% despite the system. Really sucks as MK Trilogy is one of my favorite PS1 games but will not run on any PS2 and has issues in a BC PS3 but funny thing is is runs just fine using the PS1NETEMU but problems from the disc.

You can let cobra uses ps1_netemu as default as [MENTION=156]darkjiros[/MENTION] has done once for his last cobra cfw.

it's done by dynamic patching on basic_plugin.
 
hello, i have problem with PaRappa The Rapper 2 PAL using ISO and PKG, under classics launcher and disc icon, game does not have any graphics glitches whatsoever, runs smooth but it freezes randomly at first cutscene, on stage, in menu. how i can solve this problem? sometimes i can play for half an hour, sometimes 1 minute and freeze, screen freezes but music is playing normally, with voices, but controller does not make any input during this freeze. thank you in advance.

Witaj Andrzeju! for now this game isn't listed on any compatibility list. We are even don't know that game working good on Seimi-BC. I know that game run ok on BC console. Some games on classic emulator just have issues like random freezing (eg. Jak & Daxter - The Precursor Legacy, We Love Katamari, or Wild Arms 5). It's look like PaRappa The Rapper 2 is one of them. For now there is nothing that can improve compatibility for that title.

Guys, can somebody find a way how to run original Tomb Raider on PS3?
The game cant read audio tracks from image, as a result title just hangs with a black screen.
This problem presents in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2, and Swagman.
On PC there is a patch that convert cd audio in mp3, but on PS3 this games still not playable :(

Read a lot of conflicting information over tomb raider 1 and 2..some say it works, some say it used to work before a fw upgrade in 2009 (supposedly coinciding with its release on psn), some say it works on av cable standard def, others say it flat out doesn't work....

I'll have a play tonight and see if I have any luck.

My full bc system is dead, so I can only test on my non bc fatty though.

Edit: Could it have something to do with the way the ps3 handles sub channel data?

I tested many images of both parts, pal, ntsc, redump, bootleg. Its not work, i change resolution, try different managers, nothing.
When main menu appears, there should be a music.
In bin image, there is always no music, and you always get a black screen.
 
Yeah, trying to make some mods but I think I really need to test on a pc. Too time consuming zapping things back and forwards at 2mb a second.

Might mess around tomorrow on a different pc. Struggling to get epsxe running on my Linux box. (Crap laptop with no real gfx drivers)

All five PSX Tomb Raiders came out legit on psn. PSX / PS2 Classics are $10 or more a piece.
I bought Manhunt since it had bloom issues, etc. It was worth it and got the CONFIG on ps3devwiki.

You could try the psxclassics tool that Zecoxao and ZeroTolerance released. If it's XA audio, it should play fine.
If it's CDDA audio, it won't play music.. or if you want to go the other route.. Try ***PlayStation Store***..

Thanks, but i dont want to play tomb raider, i just want understand why original images dont work, and how to fix it.

Fun thing thats many of eidos games dont like ps3 emu.

Tomb raider 1, 2 on ps1
Hitman, Freedom fighters on ps2
Even tomb raider legeng on ps3 gives a black screen, before it was fixed in multiman update.
 
I want to now that I know I can't lol. Trying to convert the psn version into an unlocked iso for a bit of fun, but not having a great deal of luck yet.

Learning a bit as I go and must be getting close.... :'(

Looks like psone psn games on the ps3 are actually a ps3 emulating a psp emulating a psone lol.... go figure.
Explains the difference in compatability though I guess.

Afaik, psxclassics do have custom config just like ps2classics so the compatibility with iso shouldn't be as good as those official drm contents

Tried that, same problem as original psx disc. No music / black screen when starting game.

This game need "compatibility flag"

SLUS-00152 - netemu - 0000001a00000002
SLUS-00152 - ps1emu - 0000001500000003

But i don't know how to apply flag in ps1 emus (in config file?).
 
Hmm. Maybe I could I mod webman to change it on disc detect? Is there much info known on settings or offsets maybe relating to the compatability flags?

I'll poke around again later.

Good read on ps3devwiki.
Seems I'm using the same id that is referenced so you would assume those compatibility bits would already be applied?

Do any cdda games work? Be interesting to see what bits they set if so. (if any).

Might even be worth looking at a real old firmware to see if that was set any different since it supposedly worked somewhere before 1.70ish. (Unsure of exact version. Just guessing by dates of posts I've read.

See if I can get away just changing game id to see if it makes any difference for a start.

Hmm. Just trying to give myself ideas here. Bugger all else to do. ;)

Donald Duck Going Quackers works and i think MX World Tour can also work, at least the other MX games work fine.

Btw. I added Summoner CONFIG data, feel free to test it on Summoner 2 if anyone wants.
