PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

Here are the biggest games IMO left that would be cool if they were fixed although I realize some will likely never be fixed. I left off games like Ratchet & Clank 1, 2 and 3 since that have HD collections on PS3 already or are on PSN, and games that work in one region but not another etc... and some I left off because I wasn't sure if they were fixed with a config or not. I have like every other console and even a gaming PC that I can easily play these on PCSX 2 no problem so it's not a selfish thing just games that I think would really move compatibility from good to excellent.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 2
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
WRC games (1-4 all have major issues)
Wipeout Fusion
True Crime NYC
Timesplitters 2
Tenchu Wrath of Heaven
SSX (coming soon looks like)
Spartan Total Warrior
Sega Rally 2006 (Jap only game)
Secret Agent Clank
Ridge Racer V
Oni
Need for Speed Carbon

Motorstorm Arctic Edge (perhaps menu only problem?)
Guilty Gear Isuka
Gran Turismo 4 just skip cutscene
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Gauntlet Seven Sorrows
Driver 3
Driver Parallel Lines (perhaps only a problem with entering settings?)
Darkwatch (seems neither pal or ntsc work perfectly?)
Buffy Chaos Bleeds
Battle Gear 2 (Jap only)
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance
007 Agent Under Fire

Already two games fixed since I made this list just Saturday. So what's the final verdict on Ridge Racer V it's no good or it is I've heard both? I had it on my PS3 before I got my gaming PC but can't remember.
 
is it possible to disable the confirmation sound on the FFXII? I didn't want to play the remaster due to my old save. @mrjaredbeta
I think it is possible to fix, but problem lies in the sound driver IRX on the disc. AFAIK this gets sent to the SPU, and netemu must have trouble with some reverb or delay effect. I believe the problem stems from here since even full BC consoles have this problem with FFXII, KH, and other Square games.

I will have to look into this more. I'm sure it will require a 0x0B patch which I have never successfully done, and I have no idea where the problem is happening inside the sound driver, so unsure if this will ever be fixed.

No idea about this one since this game and R Racing Evolution both have some similar problems. It is probably unfixable for now.

Together with the one and only @mrjaredbeta we figured out the debug values responsible for the rendering options (thanks to the hidden debug menu left!). Particles and fog disabled. The draw distance is heavy lowered - there are visible textures pop in. It was all done to lower the slowdowns as much as possible. It works without a hitch in the bumper and hood camera view. In the indoor view there could be slowdowns on some tracks (Monte Carlo SS2 notably, a very heavy track, netemu struggles a lot there). The performance in the chase cams are the worst - on the Monte Carlo SS2, the in game time could be about 10 seconds slower than in the real life. Just like with the rally cross stages - slowdowns where there are a lot of opponent cars nearby. Thankfully, the time is not so important in that mode.

All freezes fixed thanks to the 0x41 command (a breakthrough fix by the Patchmachine @mrjaredbeta)! The original GX config has got a branch delay value left unpatched, it is fixed as well. The game, with the minor issues I have described, could be enjoyed and completed.

If someone has got a French version WRC avec Sebastien Loeb 2005 Edition (SCES-53680), please contact me to create a working patch for this version also.

You forgot Scarface - The World is Yours =D

There's a custom config for True Crime NYC, haven't tested it yet though so no idea what it fixes or if it's playable.
 
There's no point in asking over and over. I had a list that I made over a year ago and by now all the games have been fixed and I only asked one time. They will eventually get to it if it's possible to be fixed. Some games can't be fixed. But if you keep asking they may just ignore it.
sorry, previously i didn't have a concrete answer. thanks
