PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

This game has got some crazy DMA related issues (it does freeze on the PS3 randomly too). PCSX2 patches were ugly and broken, they worked by a pure luck (somebody patched a kernel space reserved area). I would rather consider trying different eeObj.SchedulerDelayEvent values with various events, like vif1.dma, gif.dma, ipu0.dma, ipu1.dma, etc.

Prisoner of Azkaban may be affected too.

you mean this PCSX2 patches?

Code:

comment=Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets [SLUS 20576] (U)
//prafull's highly experimental patch
//fix initial hang
patch=1,EE,002032bc,word,03e00008
//load game quickly
patch=1,EE,001f704c,word,1000000f
//this probably corrupts the graphics but without this the game will hang ingame
patch=1,EE,001f70b4,word,1000000f
//these patches remove the intro movies (needed for reliability)
patch=1,EE,0045e7d0,word,03e00008
patch=1,EE,0045e7d4,word,00000000

You don't need that patch in Kasai v1, when using --cdvd-sector-read-cycles=5000 in CLI. The EA/WB logo and FMV run without any issues. When you enter the main menu every entry (even Options) will crash the emu though.

Also works with Parappa 2 v1(to title screen, then crash after selecting new game or options). No settings applied.

This 30/60hz switching seems to big issue for a lot of (EA) games. Perhaps we can implement something like this (from Jak* emus):

Code:

-- Force MPEG movies to 30Hz to prevent stutters
local halfspeed = 0
local fixupMPEGsync1 = function()
    -- always capture this flag
    halfspeed = eeObj.ReadMem32(eeObj.GetGpr(gpr.gp) + 0x9c)
    local falseval = eeObj.GetGpr(gpr.s7)
  
    -- check if we're running a FMV
    if eeObj.GetGpr(gpr.v1) ~= falseval then
        -- pretend we're not and set 30hz to force and extra syncv()
        eeObj.SetGpr(gpr.v1, falseval) -- 3020801 = false
        eeObj.WriteMem32(eeObj.GetGpr(gpr.gp) + 0x9c, falseval + 4) -- 3020805 = true
    end
end

local fixupMPEGsync2 = function()
    -- restore half-speed flag
    eeObj.WriteMem32(eeObj.GetGpr(gpr.gp) + 0x9c, halfspeed)
end


eeOverlay.AddPostHook("drawable.main", 0x16c, 0x9c6302fc, fixupMPEGsync1)
eeOverlay.AddPostHook("drawable.main", 0x184, 0x8ef90173, fixupMPEGsync2)

That would be great. How would I go about finding the correct addresses for each game?

Trial and error like everything we do here... :hopelessness:

But seriously I think the only chance is to look up these addresses from Jak1-3,X in hex and see if they share a common pattern.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but does the multiplayer functionality work on emulated ps2 games?
I'd like to play some split screen shooters and fighting games but I'd rather check first before I actually buy a second controller.

Depends games of course!
For sure command

Code:

--mtap1=always
--mtap2=always

work for example in Digimon World 4

Code:

--mtap1=always

Worth a try, do I just copy this to the bottom of config-emu-ps4?
