PS2 Emulation: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:29, 3 October 2022

Description

Simplified block diagram of a PS2
source

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 literally what PS2 VU was originally. Although SPE, and PPE SPE compatibility mode can still be inaccurate comparing to PS2. Good example here are TriAce games, or Castlevania COD where SPE calculation is wrong by 1 bit making games unplayable without patch. This is due to some PS2 math algo specific inaccuracies in FPU/VU implementation that are not present on any other hardware.

Note:

not available in early Tool/DECR and Debug/DEX firmwares. But available in AV TOOL firmware since 1.00
Emulation is based on a SCPH-50000/SCPH-20401 Playstation 2 Model.

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

General observations regarding PS2 Classics emulator (ps2_netemu)

Virtual memory cards are per title based, but apparently run through the current memory card system. The module used to manage memory cards is: vmc_savedata_plugin.sprx - Using a regular memory card that has been renamed result in a "The save data is corrupt (8XXXXXXX) error"
Loads an epilepsy warning before PS2 logo (PS button menu appears during epilepsy warning if controller is synced)
Does not support online functionality of PS2 titles (network configuration utility inside Full Spectrum Warrior claims no network adaptor has been found, same with Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain).

- Only file that is needed in the folder for PS2 Classics is "iso.bin.enc". Removing the manuals/DXT files will cause the game to boot IMMEDIATELY to the PS2 logo upon switching to 720p/starting PS2 LPAR.

LIMG Segment

The ISO.BIN.ENC have a block of 0x4000 bytes added at the end codenamed "LIMG" that works as a descriptor of the ISO structure

BIOS

ps2_netemu.self

Ps2_netemu use integrated PS2 bios included in ps2netemu.elf, not additional file like in ps1_emu. In 4.81 firmware BIOS is located from 0x820A00 to 0x9F09FF (0x820900 to 0x9F08FF in fw4.50). Bios version is Developement v2.20 (22/01/2007).

Notable thing is that ps2_netemu use the same bios as ps2_gxemu, and ps2onps4. ps2_netemu not boot using ps2_emu bios because of failing RDRAM check.

Bios region patch

Emulator patch loaded bios image to set proper region based on target_id, and string (separated for readability):

JJjpnJJ  AAengAUU EEengEEE EEengEOA HHengJAG ERengERD CCschJCC HKkorJAG HHtchJAG AAspaAMM

Note: Additional space after first set is intentional and exist also in full string.

Target id to region pairing:

* JJjpnJJ  for 0x83
* AAengAUU for 0x84 , others (DECR, etc.)
* EEengEEE for 0x85 , 0x87 (also forced if game id from SYSTEM.CNF is xxEx_yy.zzz)
* HHengJAG for 0x86 , 0x8A , 0x8E
* AAspaAMM for 0x88 , 0x8F
* EEengEOA for 0x89
* HHtchJAG for 0x8B
* ERengERD for 0x8C
* CCschJCC for 0x8D (unreleased PS3 Chinese model)
* HKkorJAG unused

Bios is patched using EE memory mapping addresses, so offset in file + 0x1FC00000. Using HKkorJAG example, addresses below are set to:

* 0x1FC7FF04 = H (x in "0220xD20121227" string)
* 0x1FC7FF14 = K
* 0x1FC7FF15 = k
* 0x1FC7FF16 = o
* 0x1FC7FF17 = r
* 0x1FC7FF52 = J (x in "System ROM Version 5.0 12/27/12 x" string)
* 0x1FC7FF20 = A
* 0x1FC7FF90 = G

Virtual PS2 HDD

There are 2 different "PS2 game" contents that can be installed in PS3 HDD (CATEGORY's 2P and 2G ). 2P are games released from PSN as "PS2 Classic" in .PKG format, and 2G are a few real "PS2 DVD discs" that can be installed in the PS3 HDD, this installation is managed by the PS2_system_data.pkg.

This games can be installed in real PS2 (in the internall HDD of a PS2 fat)... later this same installation was used in the PSX... and when implemented in PS3 there was needed to use a virtual PS2 HDD image file keeping the same format than the original HDD used in PS2.

Game files (extracted from the real PS2 disc) are installed in a IMAGE.DAT file, this file is a 1:1 "raw copy" of a PS2 HDD.

This IMAGE.DAT is placed in the "install folder" (inside USRDIR folder) and his size can vary up to 10+GB

There are 2 different installations: the most common is used to store "game expansions" (e.g: used by additional content in SOCOM games)... the other type of installation is a "full install" and it seems the only game that uses it is "Final Fantasy XI" (main game installation when the game boots for first time + game expansions added later when needed in the same IMAGE.DAT)

PS2_system_data.pkg itself uses an IMAGE.DAT file (6.43 MB)

The structure of this "virtual PS2 HDD" uses an "APA header" and a "APA MBR" + several "APA partitions", some of them containing "PFS filesystems".

Error message trying to boot a CATEGORY "2G" game with hand-made SFO's and invalid IMAGE.DAT file:
The game partition for this game cannot be created because the installed game is corrupted.
To perform this operation, delete the game, and then reinstall the game using the disc.

Game CONFIG

Some of the PS2 emulator types (such ps2_gxemu.self, ps2netemu.self) are able to load config commands that are applyed "by game ID". The concept of "game patches" is not technically correct because some of the commands does patching functions but others does other things (not patching), and other commands works as switches or sets a value that are enviromental settings for the emulator (not for the game) but because are applyed "by game" should be considered enviromental settings for that specific game, so for simplification purposes you can think in all this data as "game configs"

This "game config" data seems to work in the same way for all the PS2 emulator types but can be located in different places, some are hardcoded inside the emulators itself (inside the .self), and at the time the "PS2 classics" emulator (ps2_netemu.self) was developed this config can be loaded from an external file

In short, the "game configs" can modify the game image (by patching it) and can be used to configure the virtual PS2 (the emulated machine). And can be loaded from hardcoded data (inside the .self) or from an external file (this feature is supported only by ps2_netemu.self). Maximum CONFIG size for ps2_netemu is 16384 bytes.

The config data consists in a list of concatenated values of 8 bytes length (uint32_t), and can be processed like this:

union{
 uint32_t command
 ...data...
}

Config Commands

ps2_netemu.self fw4.50 sub_12D7D8, fw4.81 sub_12E050
params are uint32_t unless noted.

At the time of writing this, most of the commands are completely or partially unknown.

0x00	Command Name:	Title ID Enforce
0x00	Command Data:	1x String in format: ABCD-12345

Restricts the CONFIG to be used only by a specific Title ID
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

0x01	Command Name:	EE_ADD_HOOK
0x01	Command Data:	2x uint32_t Params (addr, func_id 0-0x3B)

Most of the hooks availables in netemu command 0x01 are fixes for a specific game, or a game engine
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.

Function ID	Notes
0x00
0x01	FIFA 2000 use it as hook for EE kernel at 0x80001858 (DMAC related).
0x02	Max Payne Write 0 to D_ENABLEW in SPE 3 (EEDMA). D_ENABLER is NOT updated on PPE side.
0x03	Max Payne Write 0xFFFFFFFF (0x10000, other bits are ignored anyway) to D_ENABLEW in SPE 3 (EEDMA). D_ENABLER is NOT updated on PPE side.
0x04	Castle Shikigami II Skip r5900 CACHE IXIN/IHIN (Index/Hit invalidate) opcodes. Same as 0x03 command, but applied of selected ee offset. This is probably command from times when 0x03 was non existing, and while it apply on selected ee offset, command never recover default IXIN/IHIN handling. Note: There is leftover in emulator from command that reenable default behavior, but is unused now, and is not accessible by current config commands.
0x05	Force events test if D2_CHCR & 0x100 is true (if GIF dma is running). For more info check _cpuEventTest_Shared from pcsx2. Star Wars games developed by Pandemic Studios (freeze fix), Worms 3D and NBA 08.
0x06	Force events test if D1_CHCR & 0x100 is true (if VIF1 dma is running). For more info check _cpuEventTest_Shared from pcsx2.
0x07
0x08	Backup current unmodified COP0 status register state. Then disable EI bit, and notify emu that cmd 0x09 could be run. Harry Potter - Quidditch World Cup US use it at offset 0x2BD45C (EE)
0x09	Restore COP0 status register state from previously created backup. Harry Potter - Quidditch World Cup US use it at offset 0x2BD620 (EE)
0x0A	Fix for TriAce executable unpack function. Games unpack data using VU0 microruntime (not COP2). Because unpack involve floating points operations result can be inaccurate. And it is, exactly by 1 byte. Config add 1 to result of unpacked data. This can be confirmed also on pcsx2 with turned off TriAce hack, example for Radiata Stories US release. Set breakpoint on 0x124D90, and then when it's hit, add 1 to lower 64 bits of vf03 reg (in vu0f tab) and hit run. Game now work as it should. On PS3 this probably can be fixed also by 0x11 command, but since they had hook already done before 0x11 was a thing, it stayed as is.
0x0B	Set lower 64 bits of mips $at register to 0
0x0C	Piglet's Big Game
0x0D	usleep(100)
0x0E	Used 3 times in Need for Speed - Carbon [Collector's Edition] US
0x0F	Grand Theft Auto 3 (SLUS-20062) using 0x348B40, 0x18E1F0, 0x348EC8 ( + 200000000 base ) 0x348B40 = start CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity )) 0x18E1F0 = start CCollision::ProcessColModels((CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CColPoint , CColPoint , float )) 0x348EC8 = Almost end (only loading values preserved on stack) of CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity *))
0x10	Grand Theft Auto 3 (SLES-50330), uses 0x349790, 0x10 (somewhat floats related) using 0x349790, 0x18E1F0, 0x349B18 ( + 200000000 base ) 0x349790 = start CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity )) 0x18E1F0 = start CCollision::ProcessColModels((CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CColPoint , CColPoint , float )) 0x349B18 = Almost end (only loading values preserved on stack) of CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity *))
0x11	Grand Theft Auto 3 (SLES-50793) using 0x3495C0, 0x18E1F0, 0x349948 ( + 200000000 base ) 0x3495C0 = start CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity )) 0x18E1F0 = start CCollision::ProcessColModels((CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CMatrix const &, CColModel &, CColPoint , CColPoint , float )) 0x349948 = Almost end (only loading values preserved on stack) of CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity *))
0x12	Disney/Pixar Finding Nemo (fixes the pause menu freeze) if COP0 status EI and EXL bits are 0, and other condition related to DMAC is met... store 0 in [ 0x204FC500 + 200000000 base] 0x4FC500 EE memory, and set lower 64 bits of mips $s0 register to 0.
0x13	Snowblind Engine specific fix. Applies to the beginning of function called initLump. Config is responsible for grabbing data from one of registers for use in 0x14/0x15 hooks. Mentioned data is EE memory offset, if data from 0x13 is 0, 0x14/0x15 don't apply.
0x14	Snowblind Engine specific fix. Applies to the end of function called initLump. Used in the older version of Snowblind Engine (Dark Alliance duology, The Bard's Tale, Fallout).
0x15	Snowblind Engine specific fix. Applies to the end of function called initLump. Used in the newer version of Snowblind Engine (Champions duology, Justice League Heroes, Combat Elite).
0x16	Champions of Norrath (SLUS-20565) store 0x01114BA8 in [ 0x208EAB4C + 200000000 base] store 0x010C9E40 in [ 0x208EAB6C + 200000000 base]
0x17	condition r18 == 0x8000 setting: stores 0x40490FDA somewhere Note: 0x40490FDA (3.14159250) is the highest float approximation to π in hexadecimal without going over the value. Probably can improve FPU accuracy for some games.
0x18	Okami PAL specific hook. 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+ EE address \| EMU address 0x183F0C \| sub_46334 0x183F3C \| sub_45DA4 0x183D74 \| sub_47B50 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.
0x19	Set lower 64 bits of mips $a1 register to unknown value (value is grabbed dynamically from recompiled code)
0x1A	store 0 in [ 0x209FD560 + 200000000 base] store 0 in [ 0x209F9550 + 200000000 base] store 0 in [ 0x20A01570 + 200000000 base] store 0 in [ 0x209F9540 + 200000000 base] store 0 in [ 0x209F5540 + 200000000 base] store 0 in [ 0x209F1530 + 200000000 base]

0x0B	Command Data:	1x uint32_t count, <List> {sector id, offset, sizeof present opcodes, replace opcodes, original opcodes)

Offset on the disc = sector id * sector size + offset + correction [see below]
Offset correction is based on selected read mode (not on media type):

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
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.

0x12	Command Name:	Unknown
0x12	Command 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.

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.

Option two default value = 0, when set to 1: One of emulator r5900 recompiler functions select different code path, also skipping one of checks for option
one since it's placed in the same function that use option two.

0x3D	Command Data:	1x uint32_t

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 Emulator Types and Revisions
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)
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

Config commands supported by emulator revision
Supported Commands	ps2_netemu Revision	PS3 Firmware
Up to 0x41	15686	3.70 or newer
Up to 0x43	16604	4.20 or newer
Up to 0x45	16808	4.30 or newer

Up to 0x4D	17277	4.55 or newer
Up to 0x50	17495	4.78 or newer

Problems:
- The 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

0x42	Command Name:	EE Overlay patch
0x42	Command Data:	2 main Params + patch data: uint32_t address, uint32_t count, opcode,opcode,opcode...

Applied on game start (more precisely while executing ps2 bios syscall 7 ExecPS2), 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).

0x43	Command Name:	Unknown
0x43	Command 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.  

Shin Sangoku Musou uses 0xFFFFFFFF

0x44	Command Name:	Disables Smoothing and Smoothing option
0x44	Command Data:	N/A

0x45	Command Name:	Unknown
0x45	Command Data:	N/A

Sets something 1

Prevent  display_mode 2 (CELL_GCM_DISPLAY_576_unk)         [640x576]
and      display_mode 0 (CELL_GCM_DISPLAY_480_unk) (60Hz?) [640x480]
from beign set.

Allow   display_mode 1 (CELL_GCM_DISPLAY_480_unk2) (59Hz?) [640x480]
and     display_mode 5 (CELL_GCM_DISPLAY_720P_59)          [1280x720]
depending on sys_info.video_mode & 0x200 is 0 or not.
Both 480 modes can be either I or P, so is something else, probably 59/60Hz.
This config possibly affect only in-emu UI, but this require testing.

Phantasy Star Complete Collection

0x46	Command Name:	Enable L2H Improvement
0x46	Command Data:	N/A

Performance related setting for titles using L2H (Local to Host, so called GS download (from GS to EE))

SMT Digital Devil Saga 1 - Crazy amount of GS downloads used to draw characters in-game
SMT Nocturne
Fatal Frame II

Other games affected (not in official config)

Soul Calibur 2 - When looking at the sun
GT4 - When looking at the sun
Valkyrie Profile 2 - Similar situation to SMT DDS1, in Solde game literally do thousands of 30QWC downloads all the time.
Tak and the Power of JuJu - Fix freeze during loading of the Burial Ground level in the NTSC version. This probably getting lucky with VIF1/GIF timing, normally command is not supposed to fix hang issues.

0x47	Command Name:	Enables XOR CSR
0x47	Command Data:	N/A

Graphics related setting.
XOR bit 13 of GS CSR register (CSR.FIELD). Should fix fullscreen line corruption, maybe some interlacing issues. Long shot, but can possibly affect SCANMSK games.

0x48	Command Name:	VSYNC Delay
0x48	Command Data:	2x uint32_t

First param possible value are 1 = No IPU, 2 = IPU, 3 = Anytime.
Second param is delay (in ms?), and can be also negative value.
- Emu has standard presets for second param.
  - Agressive = 0x3D090 (250000 decimal),
  - Normal = 0x186A0 (100000 decimal),
  - Conservative = 0x4E20 (20000 decimal),
  - But other values can be used.

[SMT Digital Devil Saga 1] uses 1, 0x3D090
[Fatal Frame II] uses 0x2, 0xFFFFE69C (-6500 decimal)

0x49	Command Name:	Unknown
0x49	Command Data:	N/A

Sets something 0xB,0,0

Trapt

0x4A	Command Name:	Unknown
0x4A	Command Data:	N/A

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.

Applies to the Snowblind Engine games. Fixes the rest of flickering textures.
Meant to be used in conjunction with the GX/SOFT Snowblind Engine's specific commands (double 0x01 and 0x23 combo).

0x4B	Command Name:	Redirect SAVEDATA by ID
0x4B	Command 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.

0x4C	Command Name:	Unknown
0x4C	Command 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.

0x4D	Command Name:	Unknown
0x4D	Command Data:	1x uint32_t

Param is MASK used in some conversion of Q value in RGBAQ writes. Default value 0.

tempQ = Q & 0x7FFFFFFF
tempQ = tempQ & MASK
Q = tempQ | unmasked Q

Wild Arms: The Fifth Vanguard uses 0x3F800000

Inside ps2_gxemu.self/ps2_softemu.self

There are hundreds of configs hidden in ps2_gxemu, and ps2_softemu self files. Internal config structure is basing on custom hash based on Title ID, internal memory offset pointing to place where true patch instruction is, and count of used commands. When disc/iso is started emulator search for configs, and if config for selected ID exist, then emulator apply it by itself. Is not perfect way of applying patches, because some games use the same ID, but different content. Good example here is Star Wars Battlefront II SLUS-21240, where some versions of game can refuse to work because it apply bad patch.

Known Emulation Bugs

This list known bugs inside emulator code that make emulation inaccurate. Since those are only EE side bugs for now, ps2_gxemu/ps2_netemu/ps_softemu share the same issues.

Bug	Description	Known Affected Games
Missing Emotion Engine Data Cache emulation	Emulating that is literally not possible without making games run at 3 fps. Fixed by patches to game image, or EE code. Instruction Cache (not Data) seems to be implemented, at least partially.	Ice Age 2, DOA2: Extreme, Nascar 2009.
Branch delay slot violation not supported on EE	Some games have Branch instruction inside Branch delay slots, this is not emulated correctly on EE (VU have proper emulation of that). This is patched in configs by rearangging MIPS code.	WRC 3,4,Rally Evolved, one of Action Replay discs.
VIF bugs	There is no correct timing, and queuing for some VIF commands like MSCAL.	Snowblind Engine games. Probably more.
XGKick is instant	Some games expect to XGKick happen few cycles in future, on PS3 is done instant. Fixed by config 0x07 which delay XGKick by selected value	WRC series, Wakeboarding Unleashed, TriAce games, World of Outlaws - Sprint Cars, Ty - The Tazmanian Tiger, dot Hack - G.U. series, and more
COP2 instructions are instant	Some games rely on fact that COP2 operations can take some time, on PS3 emulators they are done instantly due to lack of correctly emulated pipeline Patched by rearranging mips code	FFX, FFX-2, Ghost in The Shell SAC, Ace Combat series, Sprint Cars 1/2, Black, Run Like Hell, Everblue 2, Dragon Quest - Shounen Yangus no Fushigi na Daibouken, and many more
VU0 is not running in sync with EE core	Seems like old pcsx2 mVU approach is used where VU0 is running thousands of cycles ahead of EE. Partially resolved on emu using 0x12 command with 2/3 subcommands.	24 The Game, ATV Quad Power Racing 2, Twisted Metal Head-On, Primal, Ghosthunter, Rayman Arena, Rayman 3, All games using M-bit.
M-Bit not supported	Emulator ignore VU0 M-Bit, that cause issues for games that need it to work correctly. This is done because there is no way to sync correctly running VU0 without sync with EE. Partially resolved on emu using 0x12 command with 2/3 subcommands.	Totally Spies! Totally Party, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing, My Street, Crash Twinsanity, Marvel Nemesis, Panzer Elite Action - Fields of Glory, TriAce games (speed optimizations only), Super Monkey Ball Adventure, most Eko Software games, and many more.
Emulator Fail to save correct flag instances while ending VU0 program on Ebit	This cause few games to read bad flag status (not status flag!) on COP2. 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 unnesessary 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 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 [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.

Software emulation bugs

Related to the GS emulation issues mostly. Apply to the ps2_netemu especially.

Bug	Description	Known Affected Games
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 a 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 (heavy used in the MGS2 on the water and reflection effects), Gran Turismo series (ghost cars), Raw Danger! (depth of field/tonemapping effect)

TitleID/DiscID in ps2_netemu.self

There are 193 titleIDs listed inside ps2_netemu.self. More precisely, into XPARAM2.ELF file of PS2 Bios included in ps2_netemu.self. XPARAM2.ELF is called by OSDSYS, then ID check is performed. If title ID match to one of included in the table, different IOP emulation settings are applied. There are internal flags related to every title ID included inside file, still unknown what they do. Also some arguments, in plain text. File in real ps2 is introduced in SCPH-750XX models so exactly when DECKARD Power PC chip exchanged original IOP chip. This can explain why it is still in PS3 netemu bios. Because PS3 it is ppc that can need the same/similar flags.

Original PS2 bios include similar list file called XPARAM.ELF, but Title IDs there are not the same, although some of them exist on both lists.

Other game patches (unofficial)

There are other unofficial ways to patch the PS2 games such the pnach format, or the widescreen patches that allows 16:9 screen output for some games by hex editing the ISO, or by applying ppf patches. Games work fine on PS3 with same compatibility like before patching. Also some 480p (aka progressive scan) patches work fine. http://ps2wide.net/

The problem of this methods is the patch is applyed over the ISO and is modifyed permanently, but this problem can be avoided in PS3 because that unofficial patches can be "ported" to the official config format to be used by ps2_netemu.self, by using the official config format the settings and patchs from the config file are applyed "on the fly" and the ISO is not modifyed

ps2_title_brute code

A script to calculate cdvd key magic used in ps2emu, gxemu and softemu from given input title id. On real PS2 this value seems to be stored at 0x1F402020-0x1F402024. It contains code for bruting as well. Just call gen_sum with the title id in a specific format to get it.

title_ = "SLUS_200.73"
