PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

I know, but there is no clear way of using cli.conf. I've tried to use the cli.conf and all I ended up with is a game that freezes on the pic1 boot screen. At least this way, my game boots and shows signs of differences with various values that are supposed to be in that cli.conf file. Also, game will freeze if the "=1/0" is not on some of those values as well.
 
"--mtap1=1" should do the trick

Where to add this option? In config-emu-ps4.txt?
I would totally pay someone for making Quake 3 run on ps4 (preferably with 2x2 rendering, smooth edges and smaller analog deadzones). It's like Doom from 2016 but with 4 player split screen. Need this badly.
 
@zolwikwkurwik From my testing, the options apparently work from the config-emu-ps4.txt and the XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf. I think the cli.conf is more useful in multi disc pkgs so each game can have its own settings and not just 1 global setting for 2 to 5 discs.

PS. Quake 3 freezes at the loading screen. We must figure that fix, before mtap :)

I have the exact same feeling. Recently tested Star Ocean 3 (2 discs).
I put --vu-hack-triace=1 direcly to config-emu-ps4.txt and it works for both discs. No cli.conf.
So yes, config-emu-ps4.txt seems to be general settings for all the discs and cli.conf specific settings for each discs.
 
@kozarovv Both games boot to black screen.
Try:
--fpu-no-clamping=0
--vu0-no-clamping=0
--vu1-no-clamping=0
--vu1-clamp-operands=1
--vu0-clamp-operands=1
--gs-uprender=None
--gs-upscale=None

Additionally SC3 can require patch to elf at 0x42271C to 00000000 (nop)
Originally is 1044002D (BEQ $v0 $a0 0x002D)

Not sure there is more 1044002D in iso. If no then you can just patch iso to 00000000.

I can't find 1044002D in SCES_533.12 elf. Is it for SLUS-21216?

Tested on both PAL and NTSC-U/C versions. Still have black screen after Playstation2 gameboot.

Also tested SC2 PAL. It boot but freeze just after selecting PAL 60Hz or Progressive Scan mode. Using PAL 50Hz, we can access the game mode selection menu but no textures are shown at all (only text) and then black screen in battle.
 
Sadly I didn't manage to make Time Crisis work with my GunCon2 compatible light-gun (EMS TOPGUN 3), which was expected since it requires drivers that is embedded in PS2 and older PS3 software. I'll test the PS2 USB Buzzers later to see if it's the same story.

If buzzers will not work, I can send you an custom emulator to test. I can change PS2 bios to one used in other (buzz compatible) consoles. But I don't know it will work. If usb peripherials are locked at emu stage, then it will not help. Is worth to try anyway.

Edit: Doesn't matter, I though is PS3 related thread. :D

Hi man, Thanks for the reply!
I didn't really catch your statement above. Do you mean that your custom emu might enable USB peripherals for the PS3s 'ps2_net_emu'? That is actually something I'd absolutely love!

Or did you mean a mod of the ps4 ps2-emu? Which I'd love even more!
