No more audio stutter. I have no clue why mipmap settings would cause a speed up, but it did in this case. @mrjaredbeta could you look into disabling anything(bloom, shadows, etc) on this one? Also, this game seems to have the same type of uprender issue, similar to Need for Speed Carbon. Any help by anyone would be much appreciated.

I could look into it, but I am pretty sure the issue is inherent to the programming of the game.

Today test some new emus and try boot The Sims 2, it not crash as with ADK emu but have some Graphical Glitches! here is Video
Maybe mipmap commands will help or some!

Emu got past loading freeze. Game still needs to be optimized. Still has audio stutter in graphically intense areas. @MadSaint1998

*edit PS3 config fixes remaining stutter

Thank you for taking your time at this game, i appreciate that :encouragement:

Did you tested the game Stuntman right ? this game has an issue that the car we are supposed to chase crashes on the walls and stuff during the Career mode, this issue is present on the PS3 netemu and PCSX2 so unfortunately the only way to complete it is on real ps2 hardware console, maybe if it can be completable on ps4's emulators would be fantastic !! i can send a video showcasing the problem

Works great so far. Intro FMV and others stutter a bit, but that's all I've seen as a negative.

I tested all versions of this game (USA, EURO and JAP) on PS4 with different emulators, and in all of them the same problem occurs, to be honest the emulator that I went further in this game on PS4 is KOF98, but the exact same thing happens in the video, the most old ones still happen worse bugs.

Ahh, i'm having real trouble with this.

When I add the below files in PS2FPKG, i get a working iso, however there is frequent slowdown to the point where the experience gets ruined:

If i try to use the below txt config file in PS2 Classic GUI, the game simply crashes right after i boot it

left over debris from my template for 2.0 api

BTW, I need help finding the address that I can use to show FMVs are playing. I want to make a if/then for the VU1 to be at 1 for gameplay and 270 for FMVs..... can you help?
