Although sadly, I do not see any configs for DBZ BT3...

Maybe you could trim the PAD_0.DAT inside of the ISO but I cannot guarantee that it will work.

If you want to give that a try, then you would want to refer to the video below.

The reason why I won't guarantee that this would work is that I haven't done this in a year or 2 by now but I do seem to recall that it made certain games run better (when shrinking dummy file to 0 bytes) also that it would break certain games and cause them to hang at FMV sequences or possibly fail to boot at all. Lots of trial and error tinkering inside of ISO files

Biggest examples I remember is that trimming the PAD_0 for GTA3 breaks the game and makes it freeze at Rockstar logo but when trimming the PAD_0 for Soul Calibur 3 (A game that is laggy on mostly all PS2 emus in general) it ran at better FPS than it's stock version with ridiculously oversized dummy file.

Maybe another thing you could try is to let the FMV/Intro sequences play out completely. I know the DBZ series usually has some long intros especially back in times of PS2 but perhaps if you let those clips play out the ISO will be more able to allocate the data that is needed for the actual gameplay segments of the ISO to run better

Or maybe you could tinker some basic video settings, try a different emu, tweak your current emu or such & such but I am not savvy with anything beyond the first comma in this sentence lol

I'm surprised that a config is not listed for this game as I would expect this to be a topic that has already been delved on before.

I've already heard that the widescreen hex code can solve the problem, but I don't know how to create a .config with it and I couldn't find the code

Okay, so what I did was edit the GX config for Budokai Tenkaichi 1 using HxD hex editor and changed the decode side to make game ID match up with that of Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Here's code for HxD if needed. Config and ISO names must match each other

3D 00 00 00 57 44 00 00 07 00 00 00 08 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 53 4C 55 53 2D 32 31 36 37 38

Framerate is still slightly choppy if you leave the Screen Mode as Full Screen or Normal so you may want to go into your controller's in-game PS button menu and change it to Off which gave me best results. Game respectively fits the whole screen in FS or Off.

Honestly, this took me longer than was needed because at first I patched my ISO with .pnach files from
https://www.reddit.com/r/ps3homebre...ing_widescreen_patches_to_ps2_isos_to_be_run/

Which may have worked but I was having blackscreen issues apparently, because after testing this code about an hour ago and still getting a blackscreen I decided to change my HDMI cord to a different one and little to my surprise the game finally showed up. The other HDMI would work at console boot but not after gameboot.

I suppose I will just post the config, seeing as it's only focus is to fix a specific performance issue with this game.

You should give HxD a try at some point though. It's very easy to make configs from scratch and even simpler to edit them.

Let me know how it works for you... works good for my CECH-2501A on D-REX 4.84.2 in Cobra mode.

Just make sure that .ISO and .CONFIG have the same name in your PS2ISO directory

Also keep in mind that this .CONFIG is "GX" type and I tested it on CFW, so I can't be sure of how it will work for HEN

I would put HEN back on my Superslim but there is alot going on with Russian fraudsters ripping off the bgtoolset and I'd rather not put HEN on my 4001C because I actually use an important account to play for trophies on PSN sometimes.

Hello could you post a config file for the PAL Version of the Game. This one don't

So I tried now this config one the Slus version. On single player the performance was a bit better but the screen and the things in game are flickering. Also the Multiplayer Mode lags more than without an config file. My priority is that the multiplayer play doesn't lag. It would be nice if you find an perfect config file for this legendary game.

Then use Notepad++ to edit the .config and change the game ID to that of your PAL copy.

Also, you may want to change FPS from being locked at 60 to 50 instead and maybe that will stop stutters or visual lag.

GX config should work as long as it is coded correctly for the game it is going with, so of course it would work as intended for the SLUS version because that's what I made it for.

Pls can you send me an config file how you explained it here, with the 50 FPS locked and so on? I don't know how to make something like that. Would be very nice
