PS2 Netemu Commands

0x00 Command Name: Title ID Enforce / Multidisc config
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. When bytes are present after Title ID, emulator read them to setup multidisc info. 

Multidisc info bytes:
First byte:  Unknown, seems to be unused. 00 in known configs (Grandia 3).
Second byte: Discs count (0-9), when 0 or 1 emulator don't enable multidisc mode.
Third byte:  Which disc in set is this one (0-8 for discs 1-9)
Fourth byte: That one is optional, but very important. When set to 1,
             disc swap menu will be in "Reset game" menu and disc change will trigger reset (default behavior).
             But when this byte is set to 0, new option in main emu menu called "Switch Discs" will appear. Emulator change disc without reset. 
             Keep in mind we don't know how accurate swap emulation is here, games are picky for some details. 
             Every iso bin enc in set need to have proper data in separate config. 
             Disc 1: ISO.BIN.ENC --> CONFIG --> 00 02 00 00,
              00000000  3D 00 00 00 A8 3E 00 00 00 00 00 00 53 4C 55 53  =...¨>......SLUS
              00000010  2D 32 31 33 33 34 00 02 00                       -21334...

             Disc 2: ISO.BIN.ENC2--> CONFIG2--> 00 02 01 00, etc.
              00000000  3D 00 00 00 A8 3E 00 00 00 00 00 00 53 4C 55 53  =...¨>......SLUS
              00000010  2D 32 31 33 34 35 00 02 01                       -21345...

             Grandia 3 DISC.IDX, content:
              00000000  00 00                                            ..


0x01 Command Name: EE_ADD_HOOK
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 FIFA 2000 use it as hook for EE kernel at 0x800017E8 (DMAC related). Command backup value from r5900 s0 register.
0x01 FIFA 2000 use it as hook for EE kernel at 0x80001858 (DMAC related). Command restore previously backed up value to r5900 s0 register.
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. 
Used in place where game load code overlays, and in place where game self modify code. 
Config run the same function which is run when PS2 syscall 7 (ExecPS2) hook is triggered (0x1831A8 in latest emu memory).
Only difference is that 0x42 overlay is not reloaded, and check for "cdrom0" string is not performed. 
Command could be potentially useful for games that like to change own code. Eg. Load "bin" files with code (HSG/HST), or modify own code by direct writes to memory (NFS Carbon CE...)
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) 

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 NFS HP2 fpu rounding fix. 
Check if a0 == 0x8000 (32768), apply config if true. Config is little bit more complicated than it should, emu flush all fpu regs to memory just to modify one field in altivec vector register.
When condition is met ps2 cop1 f08 register is modified from 0x40490FDB to 0x40490FDA, this result in next operations to end up as negative 0.0 (0x80000000) instead of just 0.0 (0x00000000).
Seems to trigger when loading of stage or loading of attract mode is close to finish or done.
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 Burnout 2 
Copy lower 64 bits of $v0 r5900 register to lower 64 bits of $a1 r5900 register.
All that to make next opcode (hook address + 4) "beq $a1, $v0, addr" always true. Because $a1 and $v0 now have the same value.
This in turn skip CTimer::GetTimeSeconds((void)) in function CReplay::NextFrame((CDrivingControls *)). Worth to note that CReplay::NextFrame seems to be not related to replay per se, but to car physics.

0x3B Grand Theft Auto 3 (SLPM-55293 "Rockstar Classics") 
using 0x351210, 0x18F590, 0x351568 ( + 200000000 base )
0x351210 = start CTheScripts::ClearSpaceForMissionEntity((CVector const &, CEntity *))

0x02 Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: 1x int32

Used in function that handle D6 CHCR writes (SIF1), seems to be some kind of timing command for EE --> IOP DMA.

  • Valid values found:
    • 1000d
    • 3000d
    • 6000d
0x03 Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: N/A

Skip r5900 CACHE IXIN/IHIN (Index/Hit invalidate) opcodes.

0x04 Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: 1x uint32_t index (i*0x80, special 0x12345: 0x91a280?)

Patch SPE 3 program (eedma) by searching for ila r4, xxxxx, starting at 0x178A0 and replacing them with (0x42000004 | ((value << 7) & 0x1FFFF80) 0x42000004 is ila r4 opcode. Due to opcode encoding example result of that patch with value 0x08 will be 0x42000404 (ila r4, 0x08). There is little bit more than that, but main purpose is just to patch SPE program behavior.

  • Valid values found:
    • 0x08
    • 0x10
0x05 Command Name: N/A
Command Data: N/A

Command not available in ps2_netemu.self

0x06 Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: N/A

Change VIF1 command 02h OFFSET behavior by patching pointer to function which process it to different previously unused function.

0x07 Command Name: Delay VU xgkick by X cycles
Command Data: 1x uint32_t

Default 1

0x08 Command Name: Patch VU memory by mask
Command Data: 8x uint32_t (read mask,read mask, original opcode, original opcode, write mask, write mask, replace opcode, replace opcode)

Maximum Amount of Usage: 3 times

0x09 Command Name: EE_INSN_REPLACE64
Command Data: uint32_t count, <list> (offset, original opcode, original opcode, replace opcode, replace opcode)

Maximum List Count: 32

  • Valid values found
    • 1 [Dark Cloud] and [Dead Or Alive 2 Hardcore]
0x0A Command Name: EE_INSN_REPLACE32
Command Data: uint32_t count, <List> (mode | offset, original opcode, replace opcode)

Command present only in the ps2_netemu. Maximum List Count: 32. Mode is first 4 bits of address field (Xyyyyyyy), can be either 0, 1, or 2. All known examples use this command in 0 mode, and modes 1 and 2 are here just for documentation purposes.

  • mode 0 - Replace 32 bit of EE memory. Params are EE offset, original opcode, replace opcode.
  • mode 1 - Write jr ra, li v0, xxxx to selected memory range. Params are EE memory start address, original opcode, u16 counter, u16 value for li, v0 xxxx
  • mode 2 - NOP memory at selected range. Params: start address, end address, unused (can be anything, but is required to align config).

Problem: Original opcode validity check is performed before testing config for special cases. Thus making mode 2 almost inaccessible.
Solution: We can patch that one line of code by the same 0x0A config. So if we want to nop region from 0x100000 to 0x100080, first we need to patch 0x100000 to 0x100080 opcode. So check will pass, "simple" as that.

0x0B Command Name: MECHA_SET_PATCH
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. 

 [Dead Or Alive 2 Hardcore] uses 7
 [Gradius V] uses 1
 [Grand Theft Auto III] uses 1
 [Katamari Damacy] uses 1
 [Manhunt] uses 1
 [Odin Sphere] uses 2
 [Primal] uses 1
 [Psychonauts] uses 1
 [Syphon Filter The Omega Strain] uses 1
Maximum List Count: 47
0x0C Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: 1x (uint16_t, uint16_t)

First param can be 0, 1, or 2. Second param in range of 0 and 0xFFFF. Second param is used only if first param == 1. Default values are (1, 0x1000) for PS2DVD, and (1, 0x400) for PS2CD and PS2CDDA.
Other valid values for the second param (found in oficial configs ?): 0x180, 0x800

0x0D Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: 1x int32

True/false. Default = 1 

0 = Skip some IOP related code responsible for check value from IOP SPE LS 0x2C0C0 (and skip panic if value is 0 or -1).
Also skip write of value 0x80000000 to SPU Signal Notification 1 Register of IOP SPE.
0x0E Command Name: Improves ADD/SUB accuracy
Command Data: 1x int32

1 Param offset --- Improves ADD/SUB FPU/COP2 accuracy for selected offset. Work with opcodes from commands 0x26/0x27. Basically command like 0x0F just per offset, no per range. 

 [Rygar] only has 0x147DA8 sub.s   $f12, $f20, $f12
Used in official configs: SCUS97501=0x3C458C, SCES53642=0x3C4854, SLUS21026=0x386864, SLUS20916=0x121F64, SLUS20437=0x11EDF0
Maximum Amount of Usage: 32 times
0x0F Command Name: More accurate ADD/SUB memory range
Command Data: List <uint32_t Param, uint32_t Param>

More accurate memory range. This command is combined 0x26, and 0x27 command. 

 [Dark Cloud] uses 0x239334, 0x1FFFFFF
 [Grand Theft Auto SA] uses 0x1E46DC, 0x1E4AE8
Maximum Amount of Usage: 32 (if there is no additional 0x26/0x27 command)
0x10 Command Name: MULDIV Accurate range
Command Data: List <uint32_t Param, uint32_t Param>

More accurate MUL/DIV handling on selected memory range for selected FPU opcodes. Effectively work only with: 

MUL.s, DIV.s, MULA.s, MADD.s, MSUB.s, MADDA.s, MSUBA.s. 
For ADD/SUB opcodes, command is active only on Multiply stage.
Maximum List Count: 32
0x11 Command Name: VU0 Accurate ADD/SUB
Command Data: 1x uint32_t Param

Param is VU0 (MICROPROGRAM) memory offset, correct param is in range of 0x000 to 0xFF8. 

Lower pipeline fetch opcode from address, Upper from address + 4. So correct address for config needs to be 8 bytes aligned.
Used in official configs: SLUS21172=0x208, SLUS20878=0x140,0x368,0x570
Maximum Amount of Usage: 32 times
0x12 Command Name: Unknown
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:
0x1000     = Run additional flag related code after every FMAC operation, VU0 only, COP2 do this by default.
0x2000     = Emit some additional code when lower opcode is fsset, this flag require 0x1000 to be enabled. VU0 only. 
0x100000   = When enabled opcodes like MSUB, MADDA, etc, do proper multiply first, then add/sub. When disabled (default) single opcode is used (vmaddfp / vmmsubfp). Not used in COP2 mode.
             Note: When this command is disabled, then "Accurate MUL" is skipped for MADDxx/MSUBxx regardless that 0x30000000 is set or not.
             Because there is no way to do correct MUL separately when altivec madd/msub is used.
0x200000   = Run some additional code in VU0 load/store opcodes (ILW, LQI, ISWR, etc.) Not used in COP2 mode.
0x400000   = Skip emu syscall 3 (3)
0x800000   = Skip emu syscall 3 (4)
0x4000000  = Enable type 2 config from cmd 0x12.
0x8000000  = Accurate VU0 DIV opcode, not used in COP2 mode.
0x10000000 = Full Accurate VU0 MUL. Use runtime from CMD 0x10, but for every matching VU0 opcode, including opcodes like MSUB for mul part.
             Opcodes like MSUB/MADD additionally require 0x100000 to be enabled, otherwise command skip them.
0x20000000 = Fast Accurate VU0 MUL. Opcodes like MSUB/MADD additionally require 0x100000 to be enabled, otherwise command skip them. Not used in COP2 mode.

Selecting both 0x10000000 and 0x20000000 (0x30000000) work the same way as 0x20000000.
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.

0x14 Command Name: VU1 transform ADD/SUB
Command Data: N/A

When enabled ADD/SUB VU1 opcodes are processed differently on recompiling/translation stage. Seems to be very specific hack, most likely not usable outside of THPS 4+ engine games.
Note: This setting affects only VU1, and only ADD/SUB. All other opcodes like ADDi,ADDq, MSUB, ADDbc, are not affected.

0x15 Command Name: Unknown
Command Data: 1 Param ( <1, >1 )

Patch SPE 0 (IOP) program in local memory. Command search for absolute branches in LS 0x3A2C0 - 0x3A6C0 and patch first branch that match to "bi r127". That weird approach was probably used because spe program differ little bit between emu versions, so they don't need to update command on every new emu revision. Currently (4.75+) this command patch branch at address 0x3A3A4 (bra sub_2E600). This command takes partially unused value. Value 0,1 do nothing, values 2 and above run command. Doesn't matter is 2,4, or 10. Nothing will change in command behavior.

Command Data: 1x uint32_t

Default 1 

Make VIF0 commands MSCAL/MSCALF/MSCNT/MPG/FLUSHE non instant. By default every VIF0 command take 1 cycle, so it's instant.
This config give vif0 some timing sense.
When delta from config passed and vpustat vu0 bits are non 0 (so practically if vif0 is still running),
add 500 cycles and go on until next event test before doing anything on vif0.
This can also be used to ensure that next vif0 command won't run until delta from config passed.
Value from config is added to current r5900 cycles and vif0 will do nothing unless current cycles match new value.

0x42 Command Name: EE Overlay patch
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
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.

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
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 used to select which card will be redirected:
  0x00 do nothing
  0x01 for SCEVMC0.VME
  0x02 for SCEVMC1.VME
  0x03 for SCEVMC0.VME and SCEVMC1.VME
  0xFFFFFFFF to disable redirection, and use original VMEs.
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.
Under the hood config also setup 0x01 hook commands with 0x39 subcommand on selected addresses.
0x4C Command Name: Unknown
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 some kind of mode selector, depending on that 
emulator later set mecha switch disc state:
  mode 0x01 = set disc switch state to 1 (on next mecha main loop it will emulate opening the tray).
  mode 0x02 = set disc switch state to 3.
  mode 0x03 = set disc switch state to 3. This state repeats because it work different way depending that emulated tray is closed or no.
  mode 0x04 = set disc switch state to 2.
  mode anything else = do nothing.
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, and swap disc thru 0x00 command seems to be easier.
This config don't work if 0x00 multidisc config is detected. Config under the hood setup 0x01 hooks with subcommand 0x3A

Patch SPE 4 program (eedma) by searching for ila r4, xxxxx, starting at 0x178A0 and replacing them with (0x42000004 | ((value << 7) & 0x1FFFF80) 0x42000004 is ila r4 opcode. Due to opcode encoding example result of that patch with value 0x08 will be 0x42000404 (ila r4, 0x08). There is little bit more than that, but main purpose is just to patch SPE program behavior.

due to patch count == 2 in this example, there is next set of data right after first one:
 32 bit EE offset  | 32 bit align | 32 bit original opcode | 32 bit original opcode | 32 bit replace opcode | 32 bit replace opcode 
    0x00418808     |  0x00000000  |       0x1062FFFA       |       0x00000000       |       0x00000000      |      0x00000000
More info

This command read and write opcodes as a 64 bit value. This can be really confusing when creating custom config.

Lets assume that EE offset 0x100000 holds value (in raw hex) 00 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 and we want to change it to 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF

This happen because emulator read 64 bit value from 0x100000 and reverse it from little to big endian as whole 64 bits. Exactly the same happen for values that emulator write to memory. This little code snippet can help little bit with conversion.

Make VIF0 commands MSCAL/MSCALF/MSCNT/MPG/FLUSHE non instant.
By default every VIF0 command take 1 cycle, so it's instant. This config give vif0 some timing sense. Value is cycle count before first event check related to VIF0.
When delta from config passed and vif0 is still running, add 500 cycles and go on until next event test.
This can also be used to ensure that next vif0 command after MSCAL/MSCALF/MSCNT/MPG/FLUSHE won't run until delta from config passed.

Option one default value = 1, when set to 0: r5900 CACHE opcode IXLTG store 0 in COP0 TagLo register. More than that recompiler skip function responsible for analyze and emitting costly iCache checks.
This drastically reduce emitted code size, and practically disable iCache emulation. Additionally CACHE IXIN/IHIN opcodes use different very long code path (this can be skipped with cmd 0x03).
Option two default value = 0, when set to 1: Emit some kind of check for current r5900 PC with possible trap opcode at the end. 1 is valid only when option one is 0.

  • 0 = sets an option one to 0 and option two to 0
  • 1 = sets an option one to 0 and option two to 1
  • 2 = sets an option one to 1 and option two to 0 (default)
