Emulation of Playstation 2 is currently handled by 3 kind of emulators. CECH-A/B models use ps2_emu.self able to use built-in PS2 hardware (EE/GS/Rambus memory), and have best compatibility. CECH-C/E use ps2_gxemu, this emulator use physical Graphic Synthesizer found in this ps3 model, but Emotion Engine is fully emulated here, also there is no Rambus memory. All other models emulate PS2 thru fully software based ps2_netemu used for ps2 classics, and hacked now to use decrypted ISO files. Earlier before Sony provided ps2 classics on PS Store there was another soft only emulator strongly based on ps2_gxemu. It was called ps2_softemu, and had support for original PS2 CDVD. Only emulator not able to run physical discs is ps2_netemu.

Emulators are self files, but not typical one. Emulators are not truly PS3 Game OS elf executables, but Guest OS'es running on LV1 of PS3. This mean that LV2, or more friendly Game OS is unloaded before emulator is loaded. This also mean that while emulators are running we can't call any LV2 function. Also LV1 syscalls are limited to call from all emulators, but can be fully unlocked.

All emulators use built-in stripped developement version of PS2 BIOS with disabled debug functions that can affect some games. This is done because some games print debug info on screen when found that are run on dev bios. Bios between ps2_emu, and ps2_gxemu/ps2_netemu are different. Ps2_emu BIOS is able to run only on ps2emu version of emulator due to RDRAM check.

PS3 models without Emotion Engine unit use "SPE-compatible SIMD graphics-rounding mode for VMX/Altivec Instructions" for FPU, and VU0 emulated floats calculations. This is set on emulator init by HV call 97 with param 1. VU1 actually run at SPE core so no compatibility mode need (or can) to be set. SPE compatible mode for PPE mean that rounding mode is set as round to zero, denormals are treated as zero, and there are no infinities or NaNs. So theoretically what PS2 FPU/VU was originally. Although SPE and PPE SPE compatibility mode is still inaccurate comparing to PS2, because Sony decided to cut off 2 guard bits from calculations on PS2. Probably because there was no need for round and sticky bits (no Nan/Inf, one round mode, etc.). Additionally float divide algorithm is custom and not fully understood up to this day. Good example here are TriAce games, or Castlevania COD where SPE calculation is wrong by 1 bit making games unplayable without patch. This are PS2 math algo specific inaccuracies in FPU/VU implementation that are not present on any other hardware.

Note: Apparently ps2_gxemu SPU layout changed at some point (maybe ps2_emu too), and above table is not accurate for latest emu versions.<br>
0-6 layout for ps2_gxemu currently look like this: IOP, SPU2, IPU, VU1, EEDMA, GSGIF, UNK(probably isolation).

===ps2_netemu.self===
Support for USB devices seems to be limited comparing to other available emulators. Although PS2 side of USB subsystem seems to be fully implemented. IOP emulator in SPU handle USB HW registers addresses and generate interrupt for PPU which later handle RW to mentioned registers in similar fashion to ps2_emu/ps2_gxemu. PS2 side of things can be disabled/enabled using one byte, when disabled USB writes are ignored, and USB reads return 0. Initial state is unknown. Emulator seems to accept HID controllers and use them as DS3.

===Config file examples (for netemu)===


====Official PS2 Classic====
<!-- We need to find a better way to organize the commands info below, right now all the info is "constricted" inside the same table but is better to take them out of the table to have more freedon when adding comments, etc... Are a lot so by now i prefer to dont make page sections for every command. Im going to try something that visually looks like page sections but are not (so are not going to be displayed in the TOC at top of the page). With this change we are moving forward because the command info is not going to be inside the same table anymore, im going to split them but the visual look and other details are not going to be definitive because later can be converted into page sections if someone insists in it -->

==== Custom Configs ====
{{Boxcomm|id=0x00|name=Title ID Enforce|data=1x String in format: ABCD-12345}}
See: [[PS2 Custom Configs]]
Restricts the CONFIG to be used only by a specific [[Template:TITLE_ID_for_Physical_Media|Title ID]]<br>
The presence of this command in the CONFIG is optional. If present it needs to be located always at the last position in the CONFIG

Most of the hooks availables in netemu command 0x01 are fixes for a specific game, or a game engine<br>
Embedded patches are based on Checksum/Hash of title. ps2_emu is only emulator version where patches are described inside self file in ascii. Known patch types described in ascii are: Patch data, new SPU2 params, and Setting mecha HACK to show GODZCD as GODZCDDA.
The Maximum Amount of times netemu command 0x01 can be used consecutivelly in the same config is 255. This is actually limit for EE hooks at all, 0x01 don't have own limit.

Check if opcode at 0x183F04 of EE memory is jal 0x183CB0 (0x0C060F2C). This is used to run additional hook patcher only 1 time.
Later it will be nop here. so it means that new hooks are already applied. So function will just return early.
if opcode at 0x183F04 is still jal 0x183CB0 (0x0C060F2C),
then patch addresses 0x183F04 (jal 0x183CB0), 0x183F34 (jal 0x183CB0), 0x183F3C (jal 0x183D18) to nop.
Finally adds 3 additional EE hooks. Emu addresses for ps2_netemu 4.70+

0x183F0C  | sub_46334
0x183F3C  | sub_45DA4

First hook is responsible for grabbing EE addresses from one of EE gpr register. Second hook perform few checks from data in EE gpr registers, and
eventually store data from EE gpr registers on previously grabbed addresses. Hook 3 store one of previosly grabbed EE address on unknown part of memory.
Whole thing looks like HLE version of noped functions.

Offset on the disc = sector id * sector size + offset + correction [see below]<br>
Offset correction is based on selected read mode (not on media type):<br><br>
CDRead requested block size (CD disc):
*2048 = Offset + 0x18 (skip 12 sync bytes, 4 of header, and 8 of subheader)
*2328 = Offset + 0x18 (skip 12 sync bytes, 4 of header, and 8 of subheader)
*2340 = Offset + 0x0C (skip only 12 bytes of sync data)
 
DVDRead requested block size (DVD Disc):
*2064 = Offset match, but only until the 349th sector. Otherwise is offset - 0x0C because that read mode see data as ID DATA (4) + ID DATA EDC (2) + Reserved bytes (6) + 2048 data + EDC (4).
 
"Offset + XX" for CD assume that you use Isobuster RAW mode. "Offset - XX" for DVD assume that you use Isobuster NON RAW mode<br>
Special case is DVD read on very low sector, here you need to use exact offset without substrating 0x0C. Highest confirmed sector that don't use correction for now is 349.

{{Boxcomm|id=0x12|name=Unknown|data=<List> (uint32_t count,}}
VU0/COP2 related multicommand.
First 8 bytes of that command are special flags. Not quite sure about bytes 5-8 yet,
because at some point they are used to "andc" with first 4 bytes.
Some examples for first 4 bytes:
0x100000  = Different code path for VU0 opcodes that do ADD/SUB with multiply (MSUB, MADDA, etc.).
0x200000  = Run some additional code in VU0 load/store opcodes (ILW, LQI, ISWR, etc.)
0x400000  = Skip emu syscall 3 (3)
0x800000  = Skip emu syscall 3 (4)
0x4000000  = This flag ensure that type 2 config from cmd 0x12 will run. Otherwise it seems to be skipped.
0x8000000  = Run some additional code for VU0 DIV opcode
0x30000000 = Different code path for VU0 MUL opcodes, include opcodes like MSUB for mul part. So 0x30100000 work for mul, and sub part.
0x10000000 and 0x20000000 also work for that purpose, emu just check for any active bits after applying 0x30000000 mask.
Keep in mind that you still need to use at least 8 bytes for cmd 0x12, just use 00 for bytes 5,6,7,8.
Later bits are dependent on which subcommand we want to run.

    Controller sync order: 1/1-A, 2/2-A, 1-B, 2-B...
1 = sets multitap in controller port 1 at all times
    Controller sync order: 1/1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D...
2 = sets multitap in controller port 2 at all times
    Controller sync order: 1/1-A, 2/2-A, 2-B, 2-C...
3 = sets multitaps in both controller ports at all times
    Controller sync order: same as 0

Default 0x3C
Config value is used as multiplier for some value, and result is used in vsync related runtimes.
Is worth to note that 0x3C is default multiplier even for PAL titles, so is not stricly related to framerate,
but to vsync counters (where 0x3C is still wrong anyway..). Result of multiply is also compared at some point to vsync delay value.

Ps2_emu do same thing in "Setting mecha HACK to show GODZCD as GODZCDDA", but due to real media support this is done in little bit different way (but still, 1F40200F is set to 0x13). During testing Dance Factory game, still no tracks are detected regardless of the command. Could be a netemu or Cobra issue (single, mixed mode .bin/.cue loaded).

This command works as a restriction, the emulator loads the config contents '''only''' if the '''emulator revision''' is bigger than the '''config revision'''. See: [[PS2_Emulation#PS2 Emulator Types and Revisions|PS2 Emulator Types and Revisions]]<br>
The goal of this restriction is to prevent the emulator to load a config containing unsupported commands, as example netemu command 0x50 is only supported since netemu revision 17495 (shipped with PS3 firmware 4.78 or newer), otherway if you try to load a config with a revision higher than your netemu revision the contents of the config are going to be ignored (as example when trying to load a modern config using commands higher than 0x41 in a custom firmware 3.70)<br>
In general is better to use a low revision with this command to lower the restriction as most as posible (oldest netemu revision is 15686), but '''only''' if the commands inside the config are not higher than 0x41, for a reference when creating custom configs check the table below, those are the minimal '''config revisions''' required that depends of the config commands contents

*Problems:
**The [[PS2 Official Configs|official NET config]] for Gradius V (SLPM-62462) uses config revision = 17498 (is the highest value ever found in a official PS2 classic config), this value is higher than any retail ps2_netemu.self revision, and is breaking the logic of the [[Template:Ps2configrev]] (used to calculate the PS3 firmware version required by the config). So either... 1) the description of this command written above is not accurate enought, or 2) the config has been "faked" to an incorrect revision, or 3) the config is real but sony made a mistake with the revision and the emulator is not loading it

{{Boxcomm|id=0x42|name=EE Overlay patch|data=2 main Params + patch data: uint32_t address, uint32_t count, opcode,opcode,opcode...}}
Applied on game start, if game overwrite selected part of memory, it will wipe 0x42 patch. See [[Special:Diff/67828/67858]]
Start address can be (in theory) anywhere, but Sony used the 0xFF000 - 0xFFFFC range for this purpose.
Count is size of patch in 4 bytes opcodes. So 5 opcode patch = count 5.
Opcodes will be placed on selected address, we use only patch code, no need for original opcode.
Next opcode addresses are auto calculated (+4..) so we need to specify only patch start address.
Remember we need to jump to our new code, best way is command 0x0A with j (jump) opcode.
Also is important to add return jump if required. That one need to be added in our 0x42 patch.
Maximum opcodes count seems to be 0x3FF (1023 opcodes).
 
{{Boxcomm|id=0x43|name=Unknown|data=1x int32}}
Equal to command 0x40, but with Parameter:
Command change GIF behavior by setting value at address 0x2F0 LS in SPU4, correct values are:
0 = Default
1 = More agressive changes (like 0x40)
anything other = less agressive changes
Code on SPU side check for non zero value, and in few places explicitly for 1 (ceqi rxx,rxx,1) without mask.
Config have weird behavior. When there is no param, and config end (no more bytes after 43 00 00 00), then param 0xFFFFFFFF is set automatically.

Change VIF1 command 14h MSCAL behavior to use 15h MSCALF (VIF1) instead. MSCALF behavior is the same as MSCAL, but also waits for PATH1 and PATH2 to not be active before starting a microprogram. This is hack, and MSCAL should be fixed instead to wait in queue instead of triggering early.

{{Boxcomm|id=0x4B|name=Redirect SAVEDATA by ID|data=2x uint32_t + ID: offset, int, char[]}}
For proper config we need at least 2 (can be more if needed) 0x4B commands, one to enable redirect, one to disable.
First param is EE memory offset that when is hit enable/disable redirection.
Second param is partially unknown, seems to be size of next param to read * 4 (3 in known configs), or 0xFFFFFFFF for disable redirect command.
Third param is ID of SAVEDATA we want to use padded with 00 to match 12 bytes, or all 00 in disable redirect config.
Important note here is that config have own 00 00 00 00 terminator at the end.
So after 12 bytes of ID we need to add 4 bytes of 00. That apply also to disable redirect version.
 
{{Boxcomm|id=0x4C|name=Unknown|data=2x uint32_t + ID: offset, int, char[]}}
Used to redirect to different ISO without game reset. First param is EE offset to hook, second param is ID size * 4. Emulator do some checks here, safe value is 3 (3 * 4 bytes), third value is ID in big endian hex ascii (eg. NPJD12345), additionally 0x4C expect own 00 00 00 00 terminator. To eventually end redirection use another 0x4C but with (offset, 0xFFFFFFFF, 4 * 0x00000000 . This config have very similar usage to 0x4B, just redirect to different iso, instead to different MC. Currently is unknown that cobra patched emulators support that config properly.

This is resolved on emu by forcing update of MAC flag on every STATUS flag read (by config 0x12), this cause slowdowns creating a lot of unnecessary operations. || Driving Emotion Type-S, State of Emergency 2, The Getaway Black Monday.

| Not updated status flag when VDIV/VSQRT/VRSQRT is done on COP2 || Potential bad flag state can cause a lot of issues that are not related on first sight || Yanya Caballista (already patched by custom config)

| In corner cases emu select wrong block flags pipeline state (both VU0/EEonBE and VU1/VRC affected). || This can cause various issues, mostly SPS, missing graphic, specific slowdowns, etc. Issue seems to occur when branch/jump delay slot have opcode important for flags calculation. Theory is that cached microprogram don't include modified flags state from delay slot instruction. So when already recompiled program is fetched from pool, it will miss one cycle in fmac flags pipeline. This can be crucial in games that rely on it. || Tales of Legendia and Klonoa 2 set sticky flag bits to 0 and branch with sub.xyzw in delay slot (expecting that sub change status flag), Tamsoft engine games set sticky bits to 0 in branch delay slot, this was most ridiculous bug, because problematic branch was pointing to next opcode after delay slot, removing branch was enough. True Crime: NY is only known game where VU0 is affected by this bug. more..
| In corner cases emu select wrong block pipeline state while processing Flag VU opcodes. || This can cause various issues, mostly SPS, missing graphic, specific slowdowns, etc. For now it was only confirmed that FSAND opcode don't ask for exact pipeline state, but looking at assembly of other opcode this rather affect all of them. || Tales of Legendia, more..
|-
| CTC2 opcode write whole value to R register, while only 23 bits are writable. Rest is hardcoded to 0x3F800000. || Can cause many weird issues like broken physics, broken graphics. PCSX2 was also affected [[https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/6611 more]]. || The one game that is known to be affected, and is already patched, is Musashi: Samurai Legend.
|-
| CFC2 from R register should return only 23 lower bits. || CFC2 from R on real PS2 return only lower 23 bits. Originally found out by PCSX2 team  [[https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/8409 more]] and later confirmed to affect ps2_netemu in emu assembly. || There is only one game that is known to be affected, Onimusha Dawn of Dreams.
|-
| Missing floating point result overflow/underflow detection (U/O flags not set) || Since this affect all units (FPU/VU), many issues can occur. But in reality it seems to not affect any games. While this is easier to implement than on x86 system (full floats range, compared to ieee754), there is no way to do that by hardware way. Because SPU add/sub don't set those flags on single precision operations, and vmx have them disabled in spu compatibility mode. || Superman Returns.

|-
| DMA between SPR and VU1 memory cause emulator panic. || Currently cause is unknown. It seems that functions responsible for transfer don't check that VU is running. Manual state that dma can be performed only when VU is not active, and pcsx2 wait until VU end. Games affected in emulators on ps3 display this warning in pcsx2 if mtvu is enabled: "MTVU: SPR Accessing VU1 Memory". Affected games are fixed by rearranging code to do lq/sq loop instead of DMA. || Summoner 2 (SPRfrom to VU1 data mem), Kaena (SPRto from VU1 data mem).
| CTC2 opcode write whole value to R register, while only 23 bits are writable. Rest is hardcoded to 0x3F800000. || Can cause many weird issues like broken physics, broken graphics. PCSX2 was also affected [[https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/6611 more]]. || There is only one game that is known to be affected, and is already partially patched (patch still break fog), is Musashi Samurai Legend.

|-
| IOP SIF0/1 DMA IRQs can be disabled (masked), which is not true on real hardware. || IOP interrupts 0x2A and 0x2B should always trigger. Fixed by patches to IOP code. Ps2_emu seems to be unfacted, probably handled on real hw in CXD9208GP. || Knockout Kings 2001, DOA2: Hardcore.

| No mipmapping support || Emulator does ignore the mipmap layers, probably for performance reasons. It is processing only the level 0 texture base pointer specified in the TEX0 register. There are games writing garbage data into that memory area, when the mipmap level is different than zero. As a result, a garbled texture is shown instead of a correct one. || Ace Combat series, Ape Escape 2, EA Sports F1 series, Harry Potter series, ICO (psuedo volumetric rays), Jak and Daxter series, Nickelodeon Barnyard and Nicktoons Unite (very strange implementation), Ratchet and Clank series and more.

| SCANMSK register ignored || Emulator does ignore the SCANMSK setting responsible for restricting the drawing primitives on the odd or even lines. It is used as a fake transparency effect in some games by merging the two display circuits. || Metal Gear Solid series (water and reflection effects), Gran Turismo series (ghost cars), Raw Danger! (depth of field effect)

| Missing PCRTC feedback write support || PCRTC feature that writes back the image to the frame buffer is not supported or broken. Additional RGB to YCbCr conversion could be performed there. || Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (black and white cut scenes)
