Big Mutha Truckers 2 (NTSC):
Format: ISO
SID: SLUS-21086
Issue: Game freezes as soon as starting campaign gameplay. Menus etc seem to work fine.

More emulator tests. I'm not sure how you guys version emulator templates so will just put package version in which emulator files were extracted from.

JakX 1.04
Package: Jak X Combat Racing (CUSA07992) 1.04
  • Game seems fine until start of campaign gameplay at which point it freezes.
  • Performance/behaviour exactly like Jak v2
Star Ocean 1.01
Package: Star Ocean Till The End of Time (CUSA06379) 1.01
  • Game boots without issue. CE-34878-0 error thrown during campaign loading screen.
The more testing i do one this one the more I'm certain that the dev wiki notes for this game (and also 'Big Mutha Truckers') are incorrect.

Definitely think its worth the people here with more experience investigating.

Confirmed! D-Codes are now working! This one was an easy test because this combo d+e code unlocks starblade in arcade history as a side-effect.

You can watch big test if interesting

Arcade History and Demo Gameplay

Some stages still look not so good as on attached pic, but if turn on progressive mode in settings, game looks more better!

Playble version of L.A. Rush but have Black screen appearing issue in cutscenes and graphical bugs while gameplay! Works and looks very fine!

The more testing i do one this one the more I'm certain that the dev wiki notes for this game (and also 'Big Mutha Truckers') are incorrect.

Definitely think its worth the people here with more experience investigating.

It's true, I don't know who edits the list, the game Fallout - Brotherhood of Steel for example, in the list it says that the NTSC version works perfectly with psychonauts v2 emu, so I decided to test it, the game has so many graphical errors that it's impossible to describe, is that "perfectly"?

How far do you have to play into fallout to see these glitches?

It is probably a general MSCAL timing issue similar to the other Snowblind Engine games:

Textures are wrong and do flicker. But I saw the Dark Alliance series is working. Fallout is the same version of engine like the Dark Alliance games (and The Bard's Tale), so it could be tested with the same emulator version the Baldur's Gate games are working.

With Kof 2000 emu Baldur's Gate games works fine
 
Justice League heroes is also working fine with "--vif1-instant-xfer=0" and "--vu1-no clamping=0" to fix graphics and characters

It still requires config for graphical issues. More than likely it will require --vif1-instant-xfer=0

yes but with another emu it will freeze on loading screen
 
WIP FIX for Justice League Heroes(Lets see how long it takes to get to reddit)

CLI
Code: 
--gs-uprender=2x2
--gs-upscale=EdgeSmooth
--gs-kernel-cl="h2lpool"
--gs-kernel-cl-up="h2lpool2x2"
--vu1-di-bits=0

--vif1-instant-xfer=0  #fixes stage issues

--ee-cycle-scalar=0.2
--iop-cycle-scalar=0.2

--vu1-no-clamping=0  #fixes character SPS

#emu used=eternal ring v2

Is the "vu1-no-clamping=0" really needed?

Justice League Heroes does use a newer version of engine, like the Champions series and Combat Elite. The fix might be sufficient for all Snowblind Engine games though.

on ps4 the graphics are totally janky without it. your characters will suffer from SPS without it!

@Bortoloti , would you mind trying
Code: 
--vif1-instant-xfer=0
--vu1-no-clamping=0
in Fallout Brotherhood of Steel?
