PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

TimeSplitters PS2toPS4 Pack Test
TimeSplitters (2000) and TimeSplitters 2 (2002)
use --vu1=jit-sync for fix freeze at start of game (black screen) for both games + lua file from @mrjaredbeta for TimeSplitters 2
TimeSplitters 2 have alot graphical bugs issue in much parts of stage, but feels very playble!

As an added note: you NEED(atleast this was the solution in my case as far as any converted/rebuilt with cb then converted ps2 title) to use the program depicted in a few posts up, the other one no matter what you do is likely to have issues with the converted PKG. After much todo using the other program was able to convert very few titles successfully, ones that did work were buggy at best.

Note2: Resident evil code veronica x works with codebreaker, as does soulreaver 2, Obscure the aftermath(must manually enter codes once) all with rebuilt iml-iso. THE HALF LIFE BLUE SHIFT port works without cb for those HL fans like myself. ALL SLUS.

Edit:I use win 7 x64, cdvdgen, iml-iso to rebuild titles with CB. Tested rebuilt iso in pcsx2, converted with the aforementioned unity based ps2 fpkg tool, every title I've rebuilt that booted with pcsx2 successfully works as an fpkg so far in my experience.

Just was adding that when I used one tool to convert ps2iso, it almost never worked, games ran like shiz if they ran at all. I tried again to convert and also add Codebreaker to isos, and convert those for PS4 use. I had to use "PS2-FPKG v0.6" specifically yo get ANY ps2 titles to work on the PS4 at all.

Ive injected Codebreaker into RE code veronica, Obscure the aftermath, and Soul Reaver 2 isos, and succesfully converted them and have them working so far without issue using that tool specifically was all I wanted to add to this, for anyone who had issues period getting even one title converted. The Homebrew port of Half-Life blue shift also works on PS4.
 
The problem that I have explained is not the need to encapsulate cheating ELF into ISO. This has nothing to do with us repairing the game, because the program used to extract the contents of the CD is different, which will cause errors when packaging to ISO. Some of them can run on PCSX2, but errors will occur on PS4, so we need to exclude This reason requires multiple tests! That's why I disassembled it and packaged it as ISO again to make it run, not all games need it! I also use cdvdgen and iml-iso to encapsulate ISO. Cheating should not be part of the discussion!

Needs to be optimized. Widescreen works fine. Very much playable. Some stutter during intense scenes. "--vu1=jit-sync" caused severe slowdown in my test, but not needed to boot. Thank to @nifengyuexia for hint to change emu.

Don't mind extra crap in LUA. My jakx template taken from ps2 fpkg 0.6

This is very strange, it can run without --vu1=jit-sync, at least it is needed to run the game in the old version of PCSX2, but thank you for your tips!

Attempt to smooth out the stutter. Much improved. More testing needed. Widescreen patch freezes emu in LUA but works if you patch the ISO.

I've had this game running perfectly for a long time without any stuttering in my collection. I used the unripped SLUS21315 version and only "ps2emuSTAROCEAN V2" without any additional configuration.
 
Psychonauts. Beginning Game PS2toPS4
At now game work very good! Performance and optimisations fix's added! Also Widescreen patch + forced 480p at start game and Remove post processing cheats added!
Thanks @Kugozx for share some files!
 
1. Fix for Army Men: Green Rogue

CLI
Code:

--vu0-mpg-cycles=500, $000 
--vu1-mpg-cycles=1050
--vu1-di-bits=0
#emu used=psychonauts v2

emu used=psychonauts v2

Works Great! Still has slight slowdown in some heavy intense areas. Maybe another emu might clean up a little

2. Fix for Reservoir Dogs

CLI
Code: 
--gs-uprender=2x2
--gs-upscale=EdgeSmooth

--host-display-mode=16:9

--vif1-instant-xfer=0

#emu used=ADK Damshii

emu used=ADK Damshii

No problems so far. Emu got past loading freeze. "--vif1-instant-xfer=0" fixes glitchy graphics

Colin McRae Rally 3 (SLES-51117)
Code: 
apiRequest(0.1)
eeInsnReplace(0x246B90, 0x24040003, 0x24040001) -- set FFMD to 0 in SMODE2 register to disable field mode
eeInsnReplace(0x247A64, 0xFCC20000, 0x00000000) -- nop the switch to front buffer

Fixes the screen shaking in menus by enabling the full height back buffer. Image quality is better overall, because of no interlacing. Thanks @Vika23 for testing (KOF 2000 emu used).

Is there a version of this for NTSC?
 
NTSC version has no shaking menus but slow framerate with jakx v2 emu. I used "gsObj.SetDeinterlaceShift(1)" in LUA for simple no interlace in most games. "gsObj.SetDeinterlaceShift(0)" is default value.
