PS4 [Research]PS2 emulator configuration on PS4

Jeffington · Aug 20, 2024

Hey, does anyone have ideas for config for Spy vs. Spy (SLES-53078)? I have tried to run with the default settings but get crash at launch.
There is a PS2toPS4 pkg uploaded to another site (I can't mention here) that runs the game great, but has a major issue where the player is constantly sliding into the floor and falling out of the map, making it unplayable.

I don't know what settings or emu it's using. According to the compatibility wiki, the PAL version should work but there is no config posted online as far as I can tell...

As a side note, is there a tool for viewing and/or editing the config of an existing PS2toPS4 pkg?

Cheers.

Jeffington · Aug 21, 2024

I found these config testing notes for Spy vs. Spy on PCSX2. They note that with the following PCSX2 config, the game runs perfectly:

Code:

BIOS: Europe v1.60, HACKS: EE x1.5, INTC Sync Hack, Idle Loop Fast-Forward, Status Flag Hack, VU Cycle off, all clamp modes to defaults

Does anyone know roughly what equivalent config I could try for PS2toPS4?

Cheers.

just a random crash on main menu, and in the park. (with okage v1 its has a unhandled error) but its playable.

In my case i don't had that issue! Probably i was lucky or NTSC version works different way than PAL!

Final config for Silent Hill 2 Director's Cut (SLES_511.56)

CLI:

Code:

--gs-use-clut-merge=1
--ee-cycle-scalar=1.8
--force-frame-blend=1
--gs-use-mipmap=1
--gs-kernel-cl="mipmap"
--gs-kernel-cl-up="mipmap2x2"
--vu1-mpg-cycles=250
--cdvd-sector-read-cycles=150
--cdvd-sector-seek-cycles=2

Emu used: Jak v2

Clut merge fixes the colors. EE Cycle fixes the problematic FMVs (graveyard at the start), 2nd time you meet Angela at the motel and when you meet Maria. I don't know who found these originally but thank you.

Now my fixes: Mipmapping fixes the white seams in the darker areas. Frameblend fixes the screen shaking during loading screens. Vu1 cycles fixes background music that sometimes triggered a bit too late and possibly minor framerate issues. The cdvd read and seek cycles fix the long load times. I know we can use ThrottleMax but it made the footprints in the loading screens appear goofy because they appear so fast, ruining the atmosphere so I think this is a better fix. I have also tested the problematic FMVs again, around 6 times each to make sure the cdvd commands did not break them again since the game is kind of time sensitive.

I'd also give this config to NTSC if the no interlacing code didn't desync audio, a code that is needed to fix the double screen image. So if you want a perfect experience, you'll need PAL with this config for now.

Hello everyone!

I've added 4 patches for the Ratchet series here: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Custom_Configuration_Files#Ratchet_&_Clank_2_-_Going_Commando

The freeze, sps, and graphical issues are all fixed. But weird physics issues linger. If you can find a solution, lmk.
