| War of the Monsters v1 || Subjectively the best emulator to use. Used as PS2CLASSICSGUI's default emulator, it is the best one around for accurate GS emulation, as some graphical issues on the Ratchet series and Tekken 5 can only be fixed by it. Another interesting case is GTA SA's lack of need for auto flush on it, and being natively performant. Additionally, its VU0 timing as well as performance is much better than Jakv2's, as can be seen in the case of Spyro Enter the Dragonfly running comparatively better on it, and the Ratchet series requiring a lower EE delay amount in patches to work, making it one of the best emulators on the PS4. || 0.1 || '''Rogue v1 and v2, Arc the Lad, Star Wars Jedi Starfighter'''

FastForwardClock and AdvanceClock help fix core sync issues, but can be used as a speedhack. It is believed that AdvanceClock stalls the EE for a specified amount of cycles, while FastForwardClock behaves similarly. They are commonly used on the offset directly succeeding an affected CTC2 instruction. For a mysterious reason, some offsets are ignored by AdvanceClock - it could be that this function only works on instructions 2 cycles ahead of a branch, likely specifically designed to work at both the start or end of a branch. However, this is only the case for old emulators like King Of Fighters 2000 and War Of The Monsters. Newer ones such as Jak operate differently, where AdvanceClock only works 2 cycles ahead at the end of a branch instruction.<pre>
