PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

For the moment I advise u to use only the config you want to play.

To use a config take it from the github, then rename it exactly like ur iso and add .CONFIG at the end.

Managunz is doing this for you when u put every config file inside this folder.

Gx or soft are similar, i don't think there is a better one, that's why both collection will be included in next update and the user will be able to load and use one of them ;)

Dragon Quest 8 SLPM-658.88 black
The new Ghost Warrior, SLPM-662.75, is still wrong on the configuration file.

In the official config files there is only one dragon quest
Dragon Quest - Shounen Yangus no Fushigi na Daibouken (SLPM66363)
And is doing a huge amount of game code patches, is the kind of thing that is specific for a game, and to do the same in other game is needed to debug it
If Dragon Quest 8 needs something like that is going to be very hard

The interesting detail i noticed is Dragon Quest V doesnt uses any config... either because doesnt have any problem, or because sony considered is so hard that they refuses to even try it

Its strange that there is no config for Valkyrie Profile 2 because this game is very popular.

There are a few for all regions, look here (ctrl+f in your webbrowser and search for "Valkyrie"):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zarh/Get_CONFIG/master/log.txt

And here (there are some differences in between gxemu and softemu in the configs for this game):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zarh/Get_CONFIG/master/soft/log.txt

Most of them sets a value = 8 and also does a function hook (to an accurate offset of the ISO, so be sure to check your MD5 of the ISO otherway the cofing cant work)

I dont remember if the old configs for this game that was posted and tested time ago in this thread was doing some hook (i dont think because at that point we was not able to extract all this info from the emus)... so initially this ones looks better

There is only one config for one of the valkyrie profile 2 configs that is doing some additional patches... for some reason that disc needed more patches... but by now is better to not focus attention in this one... the others seems more easy to fix

I think we was talking about this new configs for valkyrie profile before... i dont remember what happened with if someone tryed them or... dunno
 
Hmmm, interesting... see this comparison, the configs for the same game disc but from different emu types
Valkyrie Profile 2 - Silmeria (SLUS21452)

Inside ps2_softemu.self
Code: 
Title : Valkyrie Profile 2 - Silmeria
Game ID : SLUS_214.52
Commands count : 0x2
	[Net] Command ID : 0x07
		Param : 00000008
	[Net] Command ID : 0x01
		Param : 00100928
		[Net] Function ID : 0x0A


Inside ps2_gxemu.self
Code: 
Title : Valkyrie Profile 2 - Silmeria
Game ID : SLUS_214.52
Commands count : 0x3
	[Net] Command ID : 0x07
		Param : 00000008
	[Net] Command ID : 0x01
		Param : 002B9848
		[Net] Function ID : 0x0B
	[Net] Command ID : 0x01
		Param : 00100928
		[Net] Function ID : 0x0A

The configs are doing the same stuff overall.... but for gxemu there is an added command (doing an additional function hook)
So it looks like gxemu has some missing feature that affects the game code located at the additional function hook Damn this doesnt makes sense, gxemu is supposed to have better compatibility than softemu... so initially the configs for gxemu should have an small number of commands/patches (because there are less problems to fix)




Dunno, but are different... so is needed to test both configs... the ones extracted from softemu and the other extracted from gxemu
My guess is the one for softemu is going to work better




*I removed some lines in this config examples for the forum to be clear which values are important, for better comparison

There are three problems with Valkyrie Profile 2.
- black screen after start
- speed problem
- random freeze if you leave the starting town
I tried this config what kozarovv worked out:
http://www115.zippyshare.com/v/Tta4MACv/file.html
So the game start (no more black screen) but the speed problem and random freeze still exist.
 
Is the one from ps2_gxemu.self... but the hooks are ordered different (im wondering if this could make some change), and is added another command to disable smoothing (to reduce workload i guess)
The other day there was some successful reports about reducing workload with a couple of commands used in burnout 3 configs that are generic (are setting some values = 0)

Give me some minutes im going to prepare a couple of experiments if you want to try them
 
@chicco33 try this ones ---> https://www.sendspace.com/file/xtklon

Try all them because all them are different than the one you was using, inside the zip there is a txt that explains what has been changed for every test
The config made by kozarovv was ordered in a differet way (first hook with 0x0A and second with 0x0B... in the original first goes 0x0B and then 0x0A), not sure if this could make some difference but i changed it to mimic the original
Also, at the time that cofig was extracted manually by kozarovv from gxemu... i think we was not looking at softemu yet, and the softemu config is different
The official softemu config is smaller than gxemu though (the gxemu does more things)... but initially i think the one from softemu could be better for netemu (because softemu and netemu does a 100% software emulation)... so maybe the small config is the way to go with this game

Thank you. I will try it as soon as possible.
 
The Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne Maniax Chronicle Edition english patch turns the games ID into the American versions ID which can explain why it freezes with a black screen on boot when loading it with and without managunz. If anyone can figure out why this is please let me know

I dont see any config for that game, where you got the config file ?


Edit:
Never minds, i guess you are talking about a diffferent kind of patch (that replaces game files and published somewhere i dont know), and there is no config file for this game
So i have no idea, and doesnt seems related with config files, at least by now... maybe there is a config command that could solve your black screen problem but unless you start to try hand-made configs with random commands... im guessing nobody can help

Also is unknown if that black screen problem happens with the original game without your patched files

Tested more 2 games both without config files.

Colin Mcrae 3 EUR SLES_511.17
Runs great but as just a little bit of screen shake, not enough to be a game breaker

Colin Mcrae 4 EUR SLES_518.24
Runs great but if we drive with the view of the full car it as big fps problems, swithcing to interior view gives better fps and now where this really shines is the bumper view at full speed, i must say say this game graphics on ps3 are good even for such a old game, try enabling ps3 smoth option and disable and see whats better for any of you that want try it out.

probably tomorrow will test Colin Mcrae 2005, reason im testing this ones is because i dont see a pure rally game on ps3 aside from wrc and we all know how those are, for me this old gems are still on my favorite list of rally games, but have to test another rally games that are also good ones from that old good ps2 :)

The english patch I'm referring to is for the Japanese version of smt Nocturne released in Japan as Maniax Chronicle Edition which adds a lot more content etc to the game which the American version didn't get

i love wrc games ><
Click to expand...

Think wrc lost is magic when Ps3 gen came mainly because it wasnt made anymore by evolution studios (think it was the name), first 3 on ps3 i kind like but not as much as ps2 ones, either way going to test wrc evolution, v-rally 3 and colin 2005 ps2 today.

UPDATE: V-Rally 3 EUR SLES_507.25 (tested without config file)
Game runs without problems but suffers from framerate drop on both full car views camera.
cockpit view,bonnet and bumper view run without the framerate problems.
NOTE: interesting thing in this game it as a GAME.INI file inside the iso with a bunch of settings

UPDATE 2:
Colin Mcrae 2005 EUR SLES_526.36 (tested without config files)
Suffers from same problem full car cams and cockpit as big frame frops, bonnet and bumper cam runs at full speed

WRC Rally Evolved v2.00 EUR SCES_532.47(tested without config files)
Unplayable, black screen after ps2 logo, tv shows no signal coming from hdmi

Gathered info from last posts:
Colin Mcrae 3 EUR SLES_511.17(tested without config files)
Colin Mcrae 4 EUR SLES_518.24 (tested without config files)
Colin Mcrae 2005 EUR SLES_526.36 (tested without config files)
V-Rally 3 EUR SLES_507.25 (tested without config file)
WRC Rally Evolved v2.00 EUR SCES_532.47(tested without config files)


Green = works
Red = unplayable
