PS2 Classics GUI

PS3 PS2 Classic GUI v2.2.3

Hello, I have a doubt about which configfiles I should use

I am converting the Metal Slug Anthology SLUS 21550 to pkg, but when selecting the configfile in the CONFIGS folder I have several different configurations, there are the CUSTOM folder, the GX, the SOFT and also the ORIGINAL CUSTOM, ORIGINAL GX AND ORIGINAL SOFT

How do I know which one to use?
My PS3 and a SLIM 2501A CFW 4.81 Habib,thanks

Generally CUSTOM folder contains a modified version with additional fixes or improvements.

If the CONFIG is not found in that folder, try the folder corresponding to the emulator used by the model of your console.

NET = ps2_netemu (used by slims & super slims models)
GX = ps2_gxemu (used by phat models with semi-B/C)
SOFT = ps2_softemu (old emulator replaced by ps2_gxemu )
ENC = config files already encrypted used for PS2 Classics (ps2_netemu)

You can use this page to find the CONFIG file easily: http://ps3.aldostools.org/ps2config.html

If the CONFIG is not found in the database, ManaGunZ has a feature that lets you create your own CONFIG files (by trial & error).

Thank you very much for clarifying man
 
Dear friends. Is there a way to encrypt CONFIG file alone? to put it inside the installed game folder (dev_hdd0\game\SLUS_XXXXX\)?
Since I already installed the game without CONFIG file, and I want to upload just the CONFIG file but it needs to be encrypted on PS3HEN!

Edit : Thanks @kozarovv encrypted CONFIG files are on the site:

You can encrypt config files on ps2 classics gui by renaming unencrypted config file to "CONFIG.DEC". It will then be a selectable option when you try to open a file to encrypt. Otherwise, the file will not show as a selectable file. This is for if ever there is not a config on aldostools's site, but it seems like everything is there anyways. :)
 
Hi guys, can you please reupload the .rar? The site where is hosted says is unavailable, i guess it means is been blocked from downloading or i just have to wait?
 
@aldostools download says temporarily unavailable. maybe that site has a limit on downloads per day or something...

is this listed on brewology or do you have a mirror to add?
 
@tthousand i can't change the main download link. can you change it to the one aldo posted above please? i can only add to mirrors, don't see main link to edit.

Is there a update for the config files please? Ive noticed I couldnt find any of the WWE games under config folder. Im guessing the games wouldnt run if I just used the Ps Classics GUI program and transferred to my PS3 hard drive without using the config file?
 
Will run but with default emulation settings which can be enough or not. ;)

Look for PS2 Config package at WebMAN MOD github repository.

Would the default settings work? I know the compatibility list says it runs perfect in matches but entrances are slow so just wondered thanks.

In the compatibility lists you need to see if there is some mention of a config for that specific game
If the config is mentioned you really need it, there are a lot of games that are shown as "playable" (works fine) but only if you use the proper config

The other games shown as "playable" or "PS2 classic" without any mention of a config is because works fine without config
And the others with "minor issues" but without mentions to a config works fine too, is just by now nobody figured how to make a config for them
 
Whenever i try to load "ICON0.PNG" its not showing transparency, here in program or in XMB.
I made it in Photoshop with transparency, just the cover of my game, but it shows black bars instead of
a transparent background.

Any solution or is this a known issue?

Try this plugin. Option "Clean Transparent" is key here. In GIMP using default PNG plugin it is also possible but this is differently named there. And obviously, image but be 32bit. 24 or 16 will not work, and also 8bit indexed also will not.

Ignore the "black bars". That is an issue of the old image controls in the development tool that I used (VB5).
The preview is just to give you an idea of how it will look. It is not a perfect representation of XMB.

The intrinsic image controls in VB5 doesn't support PNG. To show PNG I have to convert the image to raw bitmap.
In the process the transparency is lost, and I replace it with a black color.

In PS3PKG GUI I added support for transparent PNG using an OCX, but I dislike external dependencies.
