==== Allow non encrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT and skip signature check (RPCS3 only) ====
== Commands Info ==
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.elf 4.86-4.90 offset in raw hex (for Hxd, etc.)
0xDDD6C replace 48 07 14 21 to 38 60 00 00

==== GTE Automatic Widescreen Hack ====
Automatic widescreen without per game patches. Work only for 3D elements (like 95% of available widescreen patches).<br>
Tested on both RPCS3 and real PS3 (CFW only, but can be added to hen).<br>

== Ps1_netemu Commands Info ==


=== External Configs ===
=== 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.
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.  
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 0x824 in DAT file = Config revision, that need to be higher than DB from emu (11624 for 4.86). Safe to use 0xFFFF.
* 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 0x82C first config command
* Offset 0x42C first config command
* Offset 0x830 param for first command
* Offset 0x430 param for first command
* This repeats 8 times as only 8 commands is supported.  
* This repeats 8 times as only 8 commands is supported.  
* Command 2 is unsupported.

* Command 0 is unsupported because $ony made mistake in parser.
Function that search for configs look like this:  
* 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.

**0 = ? (used by SCPS-18011 Um Jammer Lammy, and SLPS-01818 Langrisser IV & V Final Edition [Disc1of2])
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)

This command can be successfully used for 90% of libcrypt games. More importantly address where magic word is stored is known, so payloads like cobra should be able to just write value there on emulator init. List of magic words is already known, and can be included in cobra source, or as external txt for game managers like webman.

* 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)

=== Command 0x18 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88) ===
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).

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>
Param flags:
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.
