PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

Agrippa said:
This hook does waste EE cycles in order to complete ongoing DMA transfers. It is completely opposite of the VU0 sync issues caused by running ahead of the EE mostly.

So I was being counter-productive this whole time? lol...
I will get around to it soon hopefully then. Thanks for the response <3.

being that these games are made using the "Kinetica" engine, would it be safe to assume that that emu is most likely tuned for the engine in the first place? Just a thought....

It is a COP2 timing issue. The engine is sadly irrelevant :( .

Nevertheless, I have made a "Fully" working prototype config for the first level just to help you in imagining what the game would look like assuming that it is fixed.

A few notes:
* The slowdowns are caused by the eecyclescalar and are required in order for the game to work properly for now
* The sps is likely caused by the fastforwardclock
* I do not know how I will fix the missing graphics as I still do not know what is causing them but I am positive that it is not my patch.

does this make it in game?

Indeed it does, but only the first level. It is not meant to be a gamefix in anyway, it is only meant to give you and others a glimpse of the issues that are outside of the VU0 sync crap. Because even after, assuming I or anyone else fix it, there will be some other issues that will need to be fixed.

About my tests!

what emu u use in Legends II? jakx v2? In my test i always got freeze when u meet soldiers first time and start fight! After it i try change view of camera (Close) and game stayd more or less playble! I pass first fight with soldiers and some more fights...but soon got freeze again! When i notice if enemy attack u with some effect (lightning for example) game also freeze! So if u want play this game, u must defeat enemys very quick, but not sure it really possible!

X-Men Legends looks playble!

Blade II PS2toPS4 Test

Game still have freeze issue - some missions freeze before loading on cutscenes! Possible to skip cutscenes, but level freeze soon or later... But was added Unlock Missions and Weapons cheats! That mean you can load any mission! You can see on video that some of missions is playble, so we can say that package is some kind big DEMO version of game, till someone find total freeze FiX!
