==== Allow non encrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT and skip signature check (RPCS3 only) ====
For easier config testing. Patch allow to use unencrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT so we don't need to mess with klic. Also ECDSA signature at the end of file is no longer required. So we can ftp configs as is, for faster testing. Warning! This patch break official ps1_classics.

== Ps1_netemu Commands Info ==
 
=== External Configs ===
 
Loading external commands is be possible in ps1_netemu. From this we can also figure out that sony call those configs "ad hoc params" which can be little bit misleading. Emulator expect them inside ISO.BIN.EDAT file. Offset depend if "optional header" exist or not. Values are little endian.
The offsets below are the offsets from the start of the PSISOIMG section. This data starts at absolute file offset 0x424 for single disk games that do not use a PSTITLEIMG section. For games that do have a PSTITLEIMG section, the absolute offset will be shifted by 0x400 bytes, i.e. to offset 0x824 and similar.
* Offset 0x424 Config revision in bcd format, that need to be higher than DB from emu (11624 for 4.86). Safe to use 0x200000.
* Offset 0x42C first config command
* Offset 0x430 param for first command
* This repeats 8 times as only 8 commands is supported.
* Command 2 is unsupported.
* Command 0 is unsupported because $ony made mistake in parser.
* Command 0x17 is supported, but there is different official way to inject it, and it is libcrypt key so there is no point to do it this way.
This probably repeats for multidiscs, but for now let's figure out single discs first.
<br>Function that search for configs look like this:
case 9:
  if ( *(&0x161FD80) ) 1570FA0(base) + AEDE0(offset in ISO.BIN.DAT or PSISOIMG? ) = 161FD80 in 4.86 ps1_netemu
  {
    cfg_rev = get_cfg_rev_from_PSIMG();
    db_rev = get_titledb_rev();
    decimal_16 = ret_32() >> 1;
    tty_print("ad hoc param: %x <%x>\n", cfg_rev, db_rev);
    if ( decimal_16 )
    {
      low_rev = cfg_rev < db_rev;          // Check is opposite to ps2_netemu, only config version higher than included db will pass.
                                            // Which mean config need to be higher version than emu database.
      for ( i = 0; i < decimal_16; i += 2 ) // up to 8 configs supported (8 commands + 8 values)
      {
        cfg_command = read_cfg_from_PSIMG(i);
        _cfg_value = read_cfg_from_PSIMG(i + 1);
        if ( cfg_command - 1 <= 0x3B )      // max cfg nr 0x3C
        {
          v245 = cfg_command >> 28;        // Most likely check for wrong endianess. Configs are LE and are byte reversed before we end up here.
          if ( low_rev || v245 || cfg_command == 2 )// cfg 2 unsupported (replaced in later PSIMG rev with subchannel data), or old config rev, or v245.
          {
            tty_print("%x: %2d=0x%08x ***\n", v245 & 0xF, cfg_command, _cfg_value); // Ignore cfg
          }
          else
          {
            cfg_value = _cfg_value;
            tty_print("%x: %2d=0x%08x\n", 0LL, cfg_command, _cfg_value);
            WriteInternalConfigValue(cfg_command, cfg_value);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
 
=== Command IDs mapping ===
The command IDs differs in between the PS1 emulator types and versions because are an indirect ID, it seems every command ID is mapped to a static ID in a separated table<br>

The command ID's varies in between firmware versions, most probably because new functions was added every few versions, reorganized, etc... and this changes created a "displacement" of the old commands that causes them to increase his ID<br>

At the time of writing this we dont know how to map that variable ID's to an static ID (that could be valid for all firmware versions), so by now in this list is needed to indicate the firmware version where the command ID was found<br>

Coincidentially there are a few commands that preserves his ID in between emulator types and revisions, most probably is because are the first commands implemented and the variable ID given to them is a very low value, so always was kept at a low position in the commands list and was not disturbed by the modifications made to the other commands.

In Um Jammer Lammy is used together with command 0x13, so it was a bit doubtful if it was a mistake. But Langrisser IV & V Final Edition [Disc1of2] uses it too and is the only command used by this disc, so it "should" do something. Um Jammer Lammy in netemu 3.40 was fixed only with command 0x0/0x0 (id/data)

*Um Jammer Lammy (SCPS-18011) uses somewhat new external config revision (11580) in official classic's external config, but only uses command 0x13. Keep in mind the game was released Febuary 27, 2008, so package was possibly updated with new config at some point, and then in internal table, so maybe it once had a different config command in config table and 0x00 nullified it. Langrisser IV (SLPS-01818) has old config revision (5713) and uses command 0x03 set to 0x3E8, so just default. Maybe internal config for Langrisser IV is empty config just to also nullify external config? --[[User:Mrjaredbeta|Mrjaredbeta]] ([[User talk:Mrjaredbeta|talk]]) 03:32, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

There are only 3 games using this command and are libcrypt protected games:, Crash Team Racing (SCES-02105), MediEvil (SCES-00311), and Vagrant Story (SLES-02754)<br>
The command data contains an offset that points to an area where are stored a list of sectors (4 bytes each), there are only 3 games using this command and are libcrypt protected: MediEvil (SCES-00311), Vagrant Story (SLES-02754), and Crash Team Racing (SCES-02105)<br>
The command data contains an offset that points to an area where are stored a list of sectors (4 bytes each). When the emulator starts reading the list it doesnt knows how long is it so it reads groups of 4 bytes consecutivelly until it finds the value 00000000 that works as a terminator, the presence of this terminator at the end of the sector list is mandatory. Worth to note that list is more extensive than redump libcrypt one, but they match to some extend. Probably redump store only sectors really needed to run game correctly, while Sony decided to keep them all. Command is used only with LC1 games (Redump is wrong about medievil, is LC1).<br>
The libcrypt protection is related with subchannel data stored by sectors, in redump.org this data is managed with the SBI files, displayed in a hexeditor view in each specific game page. If we convert the data from the official format to decimal and we compare it with the sector numbers in the redump.org SBI file it can be seen all the libcrypt protected sectors from the SBI file are included in the official format<br>

When value is not zero is returned by emulator when game try to read cop0r3 (BPC) register. When value is 0 (default), emulator return real BPC content.
 
* It seems there is a problem with LC games using the third scheme mentioned [https://problemkaputt.de/psx-spx.htm#cdromprotectionlibcrypt here]. After reading the data contents of subchannel Q, the CRC-16 value is not read at all, but calculated on its own by the driver instead. It does break LC games using this particular scheme (web-found confirmed issues with Ape Escape and Final Fantasy VIII). All three games that are meant to work with this command does use these LC sectors. I think this command was meant to resolve this issue, just a guess.--[[User:Agrippa|Agrippa]] ([[User talk:Agrippa|talk]]) 20:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Substrat cycles from mdec_block_copy_out_callback delta. When mdec is decoding blocks, copy out happen on every completed 6th block. This is hardcoded to take 0xB00 (2816) cycles in ps1_netemu. By using this config we can make this value less than default, which in turn "overclock" mdec decoding as every 6xblock will be decoded faster. Duckstation by default use value 0xA80 (2688 (448 x 6 blocks)). So to make config that will replicate this behavior we need set config value to 0x80 (0xB00 - 0x80 = 0xA80).
*Default value: 0
*Default value: 0
*Valid values range: 0x000 - 0xB00
*Higher values are ignored and 0 is set (just like when you use 0xB00 value), making MDEC instant.

Multiplier for GTE commands cycles. Value from config is multiplied by 256, and then divided by 1000.
For example Battle Arena Toshinden use 0xC8 which result in 0x33(51) as value that is later used.
Default value 0x3E8 end as 0x100(256).

Destruction Derby (SCUS-94302) was fixed in netemu 1.70 by using 0x02/0x02 (id/data), and in netemu 4.88 with 0x38/0x02 (id/data). Netemu 1.70 command 0x02 was remapped to netemu 4.88 command 0x1C but are 2 different commands. What happened is sony decided to change the old command by the new command 0x32 (didnt existed in netemu 1.70) at some intermediate revision. The interesting detail of this story is this change in the destruction derby config seems to indicate netemu 4.88 command ids 0x1C and 0x38 with data value 0x2 can be used to solve the same problem. Netemu 4.88 command 0x38 reloads the game with ps1_newemu.self 4.88 that contains another config with the command 0x3/0x2 (id/data)<br>
*Or command 0x02 (netemu 1.70) - possibly different command
Old command 0x02 is related to new 0x1C. But it seems that sony decided to split/extend that little bit. Instead of 0x02 there is now 0x1C, 0x1D, 0x1E, so config is now more flexible. All that is "JOY" PSX HW IO related, but "JOY" handle also memory card, so this is no 100% clear which one it helps without more reversing. --kozarovv.

Sync order of controllers is always the same regardless of parameter set (1/1-A, 2/2-A, 1-B, 2-B, 1-C, 2-C, 1-D). Therefore, change is only reflected internally in emulated game. For example, Crash Bash needs parameter 2 for controllers to be set properly in game, but order in which controllers physically connect is not changed.

GPU multi command (bitfield)
*0x02 = Enable Vertical Interlace bit in GP1 (08h) command in SPE writes (in renderer only). Emulator by default use hack where VI bit is ALWAYS disabled in spe.
Note from nocash docs about Vertical Interlace: ''"'''Interlace must be enabled to see all lines in 480-lines mode''' (interlace is causing ugly flickering, so a non-interlaced low resolution image is typically having better quality than a high resolution interlaced image, a pretty bad example are the intro screens shown by the BIOS).''"<br>
This suggest that games which eventually need 0x31, 0x02 will be ones that send GP1 commands with active bit 2(Vertical Resolution 1=480) and 5(Vertical Interlace) at the same time. Otherwise image will be cropped, or badly interlaced. FF8 use this on "Published by..." screen, you can notice weird interlacing when subtitles fade-in without command.

==== Cdr int reads with nonstandard index ====
Emulator ignore interrupt flag register and interrupt enable register reads if cdrom index is 2, or 3. Reads like that are undocummented behavior, but confirmed to be successful on real hardware. Also Nocash docs, and Duckstation source handle that correctly, and i remember there are games which used that.
 
0xD81F0 read_0x1F801803:
0xD81F0  lwz      r0, (.1F801800 - 0x2E8480)(r8)
0xD81F4  clrlwi    r0, r0, 30        # cdrom.index & 3

0xD81FC  beq      cr7, read_interrupt_enable_register
0xD8200  cmpwi    cr7, r0, 1        # cdrom.index = 1
0xD8204  beq      cr7, read_interrupt_flag_register
0xD8208  li        r3, 0            # return 0 if index was 2 or 3

0xD8210  clrldi    r3, r3, 32
0xD8214  dcbt      0, r7
0xD8218  blr
 
This can be fixed by simple patch from
0xD81F4  clrlwi    r0, r0, 30  #hex 54 00 07 BE
0xD8264  clrlwi    r0, r0, 30  #hex 54 00 07 BE

0xD81F4  clrlwi    r0, r0, 31  #hex 54 00 07 FE
0xD8264  clrlwi    r0, r0, 31  #hex 54 00 07 FE
This change cdrom.index & 3, into cdrom.index & 1. This way index 2, and 3 will be respected as 0, and 1. Sadly there is no easy hex pattern, so patch need to be done manually. Memory offsets for 4.86.
 
==== Bad encoding of malformed conditional branch 0 ====
Emulator don't ignore few bits, and expect they are 0. While real hardware seems to don't care about them.

Correct solution here will be patch to AND r24 with 0x11 first, to clear meaningless bits before comparison.
This is reason why emulator fail this "Branch Advance" CPU test: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PS1_Tests#CPU . Possibly standard "Branch" test is failed for the same reason.


== GTE commands ==
==Psxtract==
I updated psxtract to support proper subchannel data extraction for single, and multi discs.
Based on most feature rich version from https://github.com/DeadlySystem/psxtract-2 github. Since i don't have github anymore, i think this is good place to share it.
Only Windows version is updated! Linux code is not touched (i have no way to test).
Please mirror or even make pr on github if that's prefered.


List of GTE commands is available at 0x001B345C in ps1_netemu 4.86. List include following data {CommandFunctionOPD, Cycles}.
* Download (source plus exe): https://www.mediafire.com/file/ytg875p1a6ph89f/psxtract-2-master.zip/file
Emulator handle only commands listed below (CMD, addr in emu).


<pre>
== ps1_rom.bin ==
.GTE_RTPS 0xC4500
 
.GTE_MVMVA 0xC4C00
This file can be replaced by any ps1 rom image (incl. DTL models), and by most of PS2 rom images (maybe by all, deckard models untested). Replacing to bios from PS1 restore Sony logo at start up. That also should allow to run ps1 menu alone, but that's untested. Props to Jabu, iirc he figured out running Sony startup screen ages ago.  
.GTE_SQR_sf 0xC5168
Emulator have bug (netemu at least), that load whole 4MB file. They probably not changed that after stripping file from 4MB to 512KB. So any PS1/PS2(no deckard) bios image can be used unless is 4MB or less. All of that load games just fine.
.GTE_NCLIP 0xC527C
 
.GTE_AVSZ3 0xC5338
=== Possible Cobra implementation issues ===
.GTE_AVSZ4 0xC5420
Every CFW which use cobra module potentially can be affected by nasty bug that is there probably even before 7.00.<br>
.GTE_OP_sf 0xC5518
So the deal is patch in cobra that allow skip region check, example based on ps1_emu.

== CD Drive Commands ==
While patch actually skip region check, is also skipping part of code where region of ps3 is stored for future usage. And probably set whole emulation to JPN<br>
This can be important because function that cobra patch, probably is responsible for selecting region of ps1_rom. <br>
There is a string in emulator JJJJAEJEAEJJEJJA which seems to be selector for bios/rom region based on target ID ([[Product_Code]]).
<pre>J    J    J    J    A    E    J    E    A    E    J    J    E    J    J    A
0x80 0x81 0x82 0x83 0x84 0x85 0x86 0x87 0x88 0x89 0x8A 0x8B 0x8C 0x8D 0x8E 0x8F</pre>


List of CD commands is available at 001B365C in ps1_netemu 4.86. List include following data {Respond INT count (minus INT3), CMD_nr, Function OPD}. Emulator handle only commands listed below (CMD, addr in emu).
Hard patch to 0x82 potentially lead to known PAL games frame pacing issues, and to desynced audio, and maybe more. While i can't test that i'm 100% sure that better solution here will be read third character of Title ID from SYSTEM.CNF file of disc/iso, and then patching same place with<br> ps1_emu_get_region_offset, LI(R29, title_id_based_region), &condition_true . <br>
Generally if title have E then patch to ANY EU target ID, similar for US, for titles where U or E isn't found just use default J target ID.
Above is based on static elf analyse, so i can't tell 100% that is an issue, but it looks like it in emu code.


<pre>
* Is that patch being applied every time, even on the PAL region console? I have never noticed any issues and I was playing the PAL games mostly. The only thing I noticed is the slowed and pitched down licence screen when the PAL game is launched through the ps1_netemu. --[[User:Agrippa|Agrippa]] ([[User talk:Agrippa|talk]]) 17:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
.cdr_cmd_Sync 0xD8290
* Ok, I have tested the Ape Escape PAL menu theme. There is neither any slowdown, nor pitch difference using either ps1_emu or ps1_netemu. As far as I know, no games are affected, because there are no multi region PS1 games ever released. As the video mode is set before the boot, everything seems to be ok. The cracktros are affected though, because they read that 0xBFC7FF52 offset to determine the video mode, causing the audio to be slower indeed. And it seems the ps1_netemu has got an internal audio pitch compensation, as the licence screen is pitched down (and every cracktro too). The proper patch is needed for the sake of completeness. --[[User:Agrippa|Agrippa]] ([[User talk:Agrippa|talk]]) 18:51, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
