PS4 [Research] PS2 Game Status on (PS4's - PS2 EMU)

Very interesting. I'm curious it have impact for non 2d games. I shouldn't, but who knows. You did nice job in finding this!

Thank you! As you say, the h2lpool command is seemingly for 2D rendering, so I'm not sure what help it could be. No harm in trying though

Games that can have profit. Rule of Rose, Fatal Frame, Siren, Maybe some silent hill. Anyway, is worth to try.

Well Silent Hill series already runs fantastically, that I've noticed, no performance issues at all. I do wish I knew what to do about the red texture/polygon issue in SH2 and SH3

Hmm, for sure GS issue, something related to alpha channel. I will try to look into this, I thought that SH2, 3 work fine. :/

Well NTSC/60hz is a no-go, get a weird corrupted half-screen image, and earlier reports on the wiki claim the FMVs stuttered and ran slowly, but as you can see they were - and are - absolutely fine. Just that crappy red, haha.

Silent Hill 2 Bloody Edition No need to fix XD
Anyway, i'm just ripping my DC edition to check the issue.
PS. Also i added config for Tales of Destiny: Directors Cut to wiki, should work also on non DC version, but is tested only on DC.

Niiiiiiice! ToD was one of those "runs like boiled ass" titles wasn't it?

Nope, it was TOL. But ToD was also unplayable at all, now should work fine.

 

[sabin1981]

Well, I can confirm both Darkstalkers and Alpha anthologies run 100% on a PS4 Pro using my config, so that's something. I don't know what, if anything, can be done to improve PS Poor's performance but at least those with a Pro can use Boost Mode to play properly

 

[kozarovv]

So... SH2: DC work fine for me. Config coming soon, you gonna be surprised.

 

[sabin1981]

Awesome! Thank you, chief!

 

[kozarovv]

Awesome! Thank you, chief!

Hmm, did you tested this game on JAK emu? I feel is little bit slow. Nothing game breaking, but i noticeable.
Edit: Actually i can't reproduce red alpha issue on JAK emu Maybe is just matter of used emu?

 

[sabin1981]

I did, yes, and it felt absolutely fine to me. No audio crackle, no slowdown or anything, but then... I didn't exactly play for very long (due to the red issue) and I haven't played the PS2 original in *many* years, so my comparative memory could be hazy.

 

[kozarovv]

Actually i can't reproduce red alpha issue on JAK emu Maybe is just matter of used emu?

 

[sabin1981]

Hm. Maybe I didn't use Jak then? Gah. Lemme extract and check.

 

[kozarovv]

First I thought is upscaler issue, but then i tested standard config, and red issue is not there. Maybe is RG or KOF emu issue?

 

[sabin1981]

Whoops, definitely wasn't Jak emu. KOF98UM maybe?
