You are clearly the one familiar with ps2 emus on ps3. I'm researching stuff about softemu, and I wanted to try and run some games on it. There used to be a list of the games that ran on tortuga-cave site ( can be accessed through wayback archive). Anyways, I also noticed the only emulator that was tested was version 2.6 ? But softemu was however still released up to FW 4.01. Did nobody test the latest revision of it? I was trying to record some gameplays because it's a fun topic and nobody has really recorded gameplays from it directly. But I can't for the love of god get any games to work. I tried on a slim and now on CECHL. I only have a couple of official disc games, and I tried to run them from FSM mode. PS2 discs are recognised but go to black screen. I suppose my games were not supported all that well. So I was wondering could you make some type of emulator-switcher tool that would simply allow us to switch back to softemu on latest firmwares? Something that would work on evilnat perhaps?

* I think testing on tortuga was done on 3.41 emulator (they used cobra dongle which i think was first available somewhere around 3.55 fw). I'm not familiar with FSM method, i read about it on wiki, but never heard about it working anywhere else. Your best bet will be downgrade to firmware like 3.55 and try there. Getting softemu to run on newer firmware require more work. Simple fact that softemu is old enough to use different keyset makes it impossible to just switch emus. Sadly, i can't help with getting it to run. I only know emulator side of things, firmware patches required to get it to work is not something i can do by myself. I know you want to do this for fun, but softemu had broken HW shaders and its compatibility was rather pure due to few different factors. Broken HW shaders mean visual glitches in many titles. Rushed development resulted in mostly copy pasted SPU code from gxemu, which was later heavily changed for netemu (dedicated software renderer on SPU, abandon of magic gate which allowed to use one more SPE core for emu, etc.). Like i said above your best bet is downgrade to 3.55 and trying there. Maybe searching for Cobra dongle with firmware for 3.55 too, but they will be probably highly overpriced now due to collectible value. --[[User:Kozarovv|Kozarovv]] ([[User talk:Kozarovv|talk]]) 22:31, 7 August 2024 (CEST)

Well I have tested the version you shared with your friend mrjaredbeta. The one taken from fw 4.01. And it's great, but cannot recognise memory cards. So I finally got the cobra dongle, and turns out that one is able to recognise memory cards and save games.  But cobra dongle thing only works with its own firmware sadly. I tried to replace the softemu file with 4.01 , the one you patched and also ofw one, but it would not boot any games with those. So now I am wondering, could it be possible to patch softemu 4.01 so that would also work with cobra dongle? I can send you the one that cobra uses , maybe you can take a look. I know the emulator is glitched and all, but I have a strange obsession with it lol.
* Getting new emu to work with cobra is not easy. Getting all hooks ported, etc. I have no plan to do that. Cobra version recognizes memory cards because cobra launches emulator with prepared ps2bootparam. Probably patch to handle one memory card with hardcoded name can be done to make it work on new emu, not sure. I don't think there is anything i can do to help you with any of that.--[[User:Kozarovv|Kozarovv]] ([[User talk:Kozarovv|talk]]) 09:10, 11 September 2024 (CEST)
