PS3 Compatibility List - PS2 on PS3

[mrjaredbeta]

@Chrooma Sure, I could take a look at it. What are the issues?

Also, are you using a DualShock 3 or a guitar controller through adapter? I doubt a controller would work through an adapter, but I saw a compatibility list report of Pop'n Music at least detecting the controller through USB, although button mapping was wrong.

Yes friend, I'm using the normal dualshock 3 here, the problem is that when you choose a song and start playing it is slow when playing, and when you pass a mission for example, it stays on the black screen, then you have to restart the game , and there are also other Guitar Hero 3 mods with other styles of music doing the same thing.

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and Gran Turismo 4 (both NTSC-U/C, pkg, via PS2CV) work on CECHA-01, COK-001, 4.89HEN, 1080p.

GT4 suffers from a garbled render window during races and after resolution change in the options menu when set to 1080i - however, XMB aspect ratio change to 16:9 works (proper aspect ratio in conjunction with 16:9 setting in Options Menu in-game) as well as 480p. Occasional stutters in GT4, namely large tracks and seems more noticeable with XMB menu > Options > Smoothing turned on. Occasional issues in GT4 with deinterlacing during vehicle showroom renders (shops, etc.) causing reinterlaced horizontal window-blinds effect.

No obvious bugs encountered yet with GT3, testing in progress (incl. with save importation to GT4), will update in that event.

Tested over HDMI on Samsung Q70T 55" in game mode.

@mrjaredbeta There's a friend of mine who asked you to check the Nickelodeon Barnyard game, he's having bigger problems, as soon as you have time there you can check

 

[mrjaredbeta]

@Chrooma Barnyard is unfixable, sorry. At least I will not be looking into it further.

@mrjaredbeta All right friend, take a doubt, how do you make these correction files for the game to work 100%, i want to try to delve deeper into this same area that you are

Fixes the elevator switch freeze and shouldn't cause any extra slowdown. Tested NTSC-U version at Ishra's Ark and The Ark Revisited levels...PAL is untested but should work. Thanks @kozarovv for your "d" config as a base.

Still has slowdown/jitter on main menu. Otherwise, game is very playable.

May i know how to apply this fix to a ROM of the game?

Fixes fire effect calculations (COP2 instruction rearrangement). Original patch by refraction. Lighting issues on vehicles is still wrong (needs VUSyncHack equivalent).

There is probably a few more that can be ported, but this is what I got for now.

@Zetamy You can't with that config as it is not a memory patch. It only adjusts netemu's FPU accuracy. Maybe it is possible to patch the function in the ISO to not have a bad value, but I won't be looking into it.

Fixes VIF1 stalls while collecting specific precursor orbs and texture glitches due to mipmapping. Added the no interlacing patch from PCSX2 Forums and a blur removal based on the PS4 patch. A full and proper fix for the precursor orb glitches was provided by @Agrippa, so many thanks to him!

Frame drops are still very apparent, but the no interlacing patch avoids having a the almost constant jitter effect while playing, and game speed is also not affected by the drops. All texture glitches seem to be fixed by the mipmapping patches, but I have only tested around twenty minutes in.
