Any insight on how this is done and what to look for?

This is very specific fix, i don't think any other game will need it. Maybe WRC 1 NTSC-U, in any other case standard delay XGKICK will work.

I found in code which one XGKICK is responsible for sending bad packet, and rearranged code to delay only that one instruction. I'm glad it work

--vif1-ignore-cmd-ints=1 fixes Onimusha Blade Warriors NTSC black screen after PS2 logo.

now freezes after FMV, before title screen

This is what got it working for me(must press triangle after PS2 logo for some reason?)

--vif1-ignore-cmd-ints=1 appears to be the ps4 equivalent of "Delay VIF1 Stalls" game fix in PCSX2

When you turn off Delay Vif Stall it break in the same way on pcsx2? If yes i can look into it.

Yes I got the same black screen with it disabled. Also, I have to press triangle with it enabled
as well. I got the idea from here

Ok, i found what is issue, i can't fix it sadly. And none of current commands probably can without complicated lua. Btw. Game work under the hood, even after movie. Is not freeze but VIF stop decoding stuff at stall, it just don't know it should do more job..

This is where pcsx2 fixed it https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/3683/files
To fix it on ps4 we need to know where on ee side code that trigger stall is sent, then we can flip VPS bit. Like i said, complicated lua.

tehrzky · Jan 31, 2021

just wanted to share this.
idk what im doing but i extracted the indigo prophecy emu and use that to make a ps2pkg. wild arms 4 is able to bypass the load memory card (you need to press it fast to new game, bcoz if you stay too long on that menu gamepad will not respond anymore) then the intro after that is like the description on https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List it freeze but the subtitle still going. (i didnt wait the fmv to finish but i thinkg it still running)

edit: i can move around. hope someone make a improvement on this

OK, I will try it right away. I see that the api level has risen by 0.1, and the highest api in jak v2 in my impression is 2.2.

if you change back to 2.2, you can use the jak v2. that's the only change need to boot.

I tried to use Jak v2 to downgrade the api to 2.2 and it still fails to work. Just like you said Jak X v2 can run, I can even run with Jak3. By the way, this configuration is also valid when applied to the Japanese version of SLPS_255.57.

end

You can remove this for sure:
emuObj.ThrottleNorm()
emuObj.EnableImposeMenu(true)
emuObj.PadSetLightBar(0,210,151,62)
emuObj.ForceRefreshRate(60)
--mtap2=byhost

And there will be no difference for gameplay.

Additionally

Code:

if 0 then
  emuObj.SetGsTitleFix( "globalSet",  "reserved", { workLoadThreshold = 125000} )
else
  emuObj.SetGsTitleFix( "globalSet",  "reserved", { workLoadThreshold = 100000} )
end

Can be squashed to just

Code:

 emuObj.SetGsTitleFix( "globalSet",  "reserved", { workLoadThreshold = 100000} )

Because that if statement make only above line work.
Aaaand nice work on getting that game to work

"emuObj.PadSetLightBar()" used for fun. Also, do you know what "emuObj.EnableImposeMenu(true)" does?

kozarovv · Feb 6, 2021

Stayhye said:

Yeah, is enabling ps2 related menu when you push ps button and have more than 1 disc selected. Enabled is default setting iirc.
