PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

I'm curious that can be moved outside of vsync patch:

emuObj.PadSetLightBar(0,56,230,201)
emuObj.SetDisplayAspectWide()

My point is that on vsync hook we should do minimal things that can't be done other way.
Because that will force more code to run on every single frame.

Can you test in free time that will work same way?

Code: 
-- Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward [NTSC-U] (SLUS_205.11)
-- Widescreen Hack by El_Patas

apiRequest(1.0)

local eeObj = getEEObject()
local emuObj = getEmuObject()
local widescreen = function()

--Widescreen hack 16:9

eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0023B1F4,0x3C023F23) --X-Fov A
eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0023B1F4,0x3C023F00) --X-Fov B
eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0023B66C,0x3C03BFAB) -- Y-Fov A
eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0023B66C,0x3C03BF80) -- Y-Fov B
end

emuObj.AddVsyncHook(widescreen)
emuObj.PadSetLightBar(0,56,230,201)
emuObj.SetDisplayAspectWide()

That config in theory should do the same, and SetDisplayAspectWide, and SetLightBar will run only one time on emu load, and stay like that.

I will look into it in few hours when i get back to home. To be honest i wasn't aware that pcsx2 have any issues with it. Interesting.

sorry, it freezes on PS4, I was just monitoring PCSX2 to see what happens around that time of crash since I can see the console window

Ah ok, log you show just point which part of ee memory get recompiled at that time. But there gonna be hard to make something useful from it for ps4. Since we don't know why exactly it is crashing.
 
Widescreen patches in lua for Crazy taxi and Death by Degrees(both NTSC) causes emu to crash. Patching ISO works.

While Crazy Taxi patch is little bit extensive, DbD patch look 100% ok. No idea why it fail.
Are you using JAK emu or some other one?
 
Usually issue is that pcsx2 is more friendly to user errors. Some patches are really terrible, and only pcsx2 error ignoring make them work fine. But since you said that patches are fine when you use pnach engine. Maybe PS4 emu apply them too fast with that method.

If you want you can remove:

--FMV's fix by nemesis2000
eeObj.WriteMem32(0x005D9054,0x3faaaaaa)
--black border's fix by nemesis2000
eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0032b0a8,0x3c023f80)

from DbD, and test again. While i'm REALLY not interested into fixing ws patches by myself, i really appreciate feedback so i can create issue on my repository to make sure that i list bad patches. :)

Only one of them can be used. The effect of texMode=1 is smooth, and texMode=2 should be another effect, which will lose some image quality.
 
Nice find, we have few games not working due to instant vif also on ps3, sadly no option to fix it there.
Other games that are worth to give a shot with that command are:

Snowblind engine games (Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, etc.)
Downhill Domination
Buffy Vampire Slayer

Those are games that i'm aware that hate instant VIF. Not saying it will 100% fix them, just worth to give a shot. I will try to search on pcsx2 what was fixed when they abandoned inst vif1. ;)

Edit: Mafia also like timing
Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
