PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

Bortoloti said:
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.

Thank you for testing !! looks like this game is only completable using real ps2 for now, or getting an 100% save to drive all vehicles and use all ramps to have fun on stunt constructor

@Stayhye Test Drive USA version has an GX config on the ps3, @mrjaredbeta took a look into it and looks like it's sound related, do you think this fixes the audio issues on the ps4 ?

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?
Click to expand...

I do not understand. What do these VU1 values mean to begin with? The PS3 config I made uses a hook at 0x12E34C which reads a movie flag from the stack at 0x1FFFBC4 to apply the patch on the fly when the movies are played back. I do not know how it does look on the PS4, but on the PS3 the PAL and 480p video playback is glitched and does lag a lot, because of some timing and VIF related issues. Here are different offsets related to movie playback (for the PAL version) I gathered back then:
Code: 
004328E8 write movie pal at 0x54e77c
3eb714 movie playback
12cf40
4102e8
2199f0 - jr ra skip movies or 001997B0 nop
550940 - movie flag?
3b87e8 3b8850 decoding video?

On PS4, with "vu1-mpg-cycles" set to 1, eliminates most the crashing symptoms. But, with it set to 1, FMVs play like crap(stuttering). So, I was going to make a if/then for it to be 270 when FMVs are playing, and 1 otherwise.

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

Ah, I have no idea how to use that program. I am looking through the vcs folder and can see that the emulator used to perform the conversion is listed as psychonauts v2. I dont know what emulator is being used in PS2ClassicGUI, but for PS2FPKG i have the option of Rogue or JAK.

My question is, how do I add additional emulators to PS2FPKG? I know asking sourcing questions is forbidden but I dont even know how to add other emulators to these programs (not that i can even find them)

Honestly, in this case, the jak emu should work just fine. There are no commands in that config specific to psychonauts emu. The config was originally made on the jakx v2 emu.

opening FMV on NTSC version. Also, don't you have a PS4 Pro? That will have better performance than regular ps4(which is what I am using)

* edit - PAL version also stutters, 60hz video mode

Just wanted to let everyone know, I used the JAK X V2 (USA) emulator to generate the pkg and its working MUCH better. There is some tiny slowdown at certain parts, but its completely playable and looks amazing with the upscaling.

Previously I was just using the standard JAK V2 emu, so I guess that was the issue?

I've been testing this, and I've come to a conclusion, the stutter in the FMV is not related to "vu1-mpg-cycles" but to the high value in "ee-cycle-scalar", if we put it at 1.20, the stutter disappears , but the game crashes and has graphical problems. But in this game the higher the value in "ee-cycle-scalar", the better it works, but as a side effect, it spoils the FMVs.

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

I just tested this game, the config and the emulator make the game work very well, unfortunately if we choose "new game", "quick race", on the track "San Francisco 2", the game freezes exactly always halfway through lap 2, always in the same place, and always on lap 2.
