PS3 Difference of PS2 emulation

I have a CECHC, while playing Driver 3 I noticed that if I start it as a PS2 classic I get a very low frame rate, it's unplayable.

If instead I start it as an ISO from WebMan the emulation is perfect

Can you give an explanation?
 
On the ps2 classic compatibility list (for ps3) there is a row for "Driv3r". I'm not sure if it's a typo and refers to Driver or Driver 3, but it's listed as having "major issues". After a quick google search it appears that 'Driver 3' is referred to as Driv3r by fans, so there you have it the game is incompatible. This was not an official game released on the ps store, just someone injected it in this manner.

Yeah, the cops crashing in mission 2 is not what I would call "perfect."

There is somewhat of a performance improvement you can use with PS2 Classics (ps2_netemu) in the form of a config for that game, but it will still have the cop pathing issue present in mission 2. It improves the frame rate a bit, but it's still not as good as gxemu.

@pianohombre There is no such game as "Driver 3". Game was named "Driv3r" by their authors.
@matti157 Nothing strange, You using different emulator. The one which works better, virtualising GS from Your mobo.

I confirm, the game is Driv3r

I didn't specify that I created the PS2 classic myself with the appropriate tool from my computer.

So if I run the PS2 classic a software-only emulator starts, while if I mount the ISO with WebMan the emulator that uses the GS physically present on my motherboard is used? But are they both emulators made by Sony?

Yes and yes. Both emulators are developed by Sony. ps2_netemu (the PS2 Classics/software emulator) is heavily based on gxemu (the emulator that does not emulate the PS2's Graphics Synthesizer), so many of the same issues present in gxemu will be present in ps2_netemu, apart from new performance issues in ps2_netemu.

You probably did not play much of the game yet, but you will not be able to pass mission 2 on that PS3 with either emulator.
