PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

Yes.

Quake 3 RevolutionUnplayable??After loading first screen, comes black and sound distortion.
(Converted to ISO)

About clouds they used LUA, or created special case for GS emulation. Like for Fantavision, or Dark Chronicles. About memory cards, i'm also curious what they did.

Maybe some SPU settings can fix it.
THANKS IT MUST BE A ENCRYPTED AUDIO AND VIDEO OR MP2 NOT SUPPORTED ON PS4?

Unfortunately it seems we may both be off the mark here. Digital Foundry just did an AC7 tech analysis and they dedicated a segment to Ace Combat 05 that you get as a preorder for AC7. They put forward a bit of information that makes it seem like AC05 is actually a full port to the PS4 and not a PS2 emulated version.

Ah... yeah, this was known back in September. The PS4 version is a native port, whereas the XBO bonus (AC6) is emulated as an Xbox 360 classic title. Damn it :( I was really hoping this was a PS2 Classic so that we eventually get ahold of the configs :( It's galling me something fierce that I don't know how to fix the memory card issues in AC05.

JAK 2 digital copy is game that run on 5.05 as far as i know, so there is no firmware issue. Anyway this gonna be very similar emu to current one used in JAK 1. BD release gonna be the same game, with higher fw requirement, and maybe some minor fixes.

That could be true, but I think this is a case of 2 things:

1: New emulator.
2: High Res texture replace(like with psponps4: parappa the rapper, locoroco 2, patapon, etc...)

Just a thought. Could explain the bloated size. It's also no big deal to skip the ps2 boot logo.

BTW locoroco 2 PSPonPS4 was almost 4gb. PSP umds have max size of 1.8gb or so.

Loco roco and Parapadarapper wasnt running on the PS2_EMU at all, they were both running on the PSP_EMU, thats how the PSP Emu was found on the PS4, Parapadarapper 2 its the only expection.

I didn't say those PSP games was running on PS2_EMU, I said the process was LIKE how they replaced textures on those PSP games on the PS4 with the emulator. PS2emu on PS4 also has this capablility. Of course those psp games are not running on PS2emu..lol funny

Sorry,mate misread the post, you are correct, my applogies :)
 
has anyone managed to get the following games to work as i tried but no luck:

Urban Reign (black screen)
Scarface ( very low frame rate)
Driver 3 (low frame rate)
 
Not just the cloud shaders, but the fact that you can save/load now too. God what I wouldn't give to get my hands on those config files! I tried for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES to get homebrew AC5 working -- the cloud shaders are one thing, you can run in 1x1 res mode to fix those, but the memory card issues were insurmountable :(

Is it even possible to get those config files? That would be epic but i dont know if there exist any method / trick :(
 
Hello, help me please, how add patch to game? I create folder "app\patches", creafe file txt file and rename to "SLUS-20013_cli.conf", but how i create pkg, patch dont add...

Hi I have some UI problems in this game SLES_549.45 I entered
--gs-use-clut-merge = 1
--gs-kernel-cl = "clutmerge"
--gs-kernel-cl-up = "clutmerge2x2"
but it doesn't work.
Thanks
 
God of war is playable with some slowdown in later levels.
God of War 2 is playable with some slowdown in later levels.

a nice guy on youtube uploaded this. I just extracted his configs and patches.
He also fixed the Prince of Persia graphical issues.
 
Fixing the PoP graphical issues is a hell of a thing indeed, very nice! Thanks for the share! The slowdown problems with GoW 1/2 should also be heavily mitigated by running on a Pro model - as I've discovered with several other titles. I still keep hoping someone can find fixes for Snowblind games (all of which run, and look!, surprisingly great on the PS3 with ps2_netemu), Castlevania Curse of Darkness, and finally my holy grail of emulation; Metal Saga ^_^
 
The guy has a youtube where he shows his work. He is slowly fixing Scarface & he fixed the graphics issues on max payne 2.

This is the patches & config for Prince of Persia Warrior Within that I extracted that fixes the graphical issues & performance. I think should work on other Prince of Persia games but I haven't tested yet.

Any progress with soul reaver mipmap since february?

Mipmapping still seems to be hit or miss in that it'll work perfectly, work with some negative side-effects or not at all. I have no idea of any mipmap settings beyond those currently used but I also wish this was worked out.

I tried for a long time with no real results. Tons of trial and error.

Hey dude!, do you think that it will be possible to run MGS3? Damn it, i want to play so bad!
 
Almost certainly not, I'm afraid. The PS4 simply doesn't have the grunt to emulate it, Konami/Sony would have to do something with a native port. A Pro should handle it "better" but right now the performance is shockingly bad, utterly unplayable. If you're desperate the only solution is a PS2, a PS3, or a PC with PCSX2.
