Yes!, i loved that series

Btw @mysis, this patch i think is related with the UV mapping of textures, you mentioned UV before (for other commands) but i think is this one which is related with UV
Maybe there are several related with UV though

By looking at your screenshot is the frst thing that came to mind... some problem with the UV coordinates... so the textures are not "sticked" with precission over the polygons

This patch used in baldurs gate series fixed that... and seems to be generic because is enabling a feature (the command doesnt accept any parameter as you wrote, i still have some doubts because its lenght though)
Anyway... the way how you have used it in baldurs gate is generic, and could work with lot of games

---------------------------
There is another problem related with textures (or opacity, im not sure) i been told (but i have not seen myself)... it happens in "destroy all humans 2" (not in the first one)
Imagine you have a lightpoint behind a building (as example, a flying UFO with the party lights on)... the building is supposed to be a solid object, but no... you see the building rendered normally but the light transpasses it
Is different than the problem of baldurs gate... but is a bit related with textures and polygons
I think what happens here is the light is applyed to the opposite side of the polygon (so some coordinates are wrong)

I think its the same as The Suffering 1 and 2. I tried the Baldurs Gate config file with these two games yesterday but without luck. Its an another kind of graphical problem to fix :)
My question is that there are some great games which freeze in certain point. (Yakuza1, Dragon Quest5, Tales of Abyss) If we can find a solution to fix one of them, is it fix all of them?
 
How do you guys create this config files?
I need just make txt file, copy text from wiki (00000000 3D 00 00 00 1B 43 00 00 4A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 =....A..@.......), and save it as a MYISONAME.config?

No. Get a Hex editor, create a new file in hex editor, copy the hex values ( just the 3D 00 00 00 1B 43 00 00 4A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 numbers from your example) save as MYISONAME.ISO.CONFIG and copy this config file next to MYISONAME.ISO.

You need to make them in hexeditor. Anyway this link should be very helpful for you:
https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ/tree/master/pkgfiles/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG
and
https://github.com/kozarovv/ManaGunZ/tree/master/pkgfiles/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG

Remember to rename config exactly the same as your ISO.

So if iso is GOW.ISO, then config need to be GOW.ISO.CONFIG. Also keep in mind that you need firmware with cobra 7.50 or newer (Rebug 4.81.2, Habib Cobra 4.81 v1.02, etc.) to use configs in this easiest way.

Swagman not works for me, freeze after main menu, are you sure its ok?

As it works, I check the games that do not work properly,
and those for the psx for curiosity,
would someone to work on emulators, config files look more in half way,
there are many more games that work or not, but there are none of the list.
Sony did it suck. And probably emulators will ever work 100% correct.
This is poor because hack/cfw/cobra ps3 is a great machine not only for pirate games.

I dont understand a word, sorry.
I tested swagman many times, many images, and it always stuck on first loading.
I have slim ps3, with soft emu, i'll try to test game again with new cobra.

About not working games, here is the list of all games ever released on ps1/2
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8nnKJxkoLVLY1ZMOFNjcWhaRTg/view?usp=drivesdk

I will test all problem games with CONFIG method and try to find what games will work.

Good luck :) It will be a long run because you need to test every config file :) Btw you can filter them because in most of the cases every config file is good for a group of games and related bugs. Just for example: when I noticed that mysis created a config for Baldurs Gate I just found ot that there are many games with the same graphic error. (Baldur 2, Champions Norath, Fallout) And this Baldur config fix is works great with these games too :)
 
I just retest swagman, with latest cobra, and its still dont work. Endless loading at main menu, same problem as tomb raider and tomb raider 2.
Dex357, you must be own old ps3 with bc, or physical cd.

There is no difference. All PS3 models lack of PSX hardware.

Cobra version don't play so big role here. PS3 have 3 different PS1 emulators (ps1_emu, ps1_netemu, ps1_newemu), and there are differ from each other. Try to mount your game using other software (mM, wmm, Irisman), iirc some of them use different emu when boot psx game. Also Irisman have emulator selection in settings.
