PlayStation 2 emulation on the PlayStaion 4 is handled with little difference to the PlayStation 3,
These PS2onPS4 games can be bought online directly via Limited Run Games for brand new or for example on Ebay for second hand or like new.
But still many issues that the PlayStation 3 faced have moved into the PlayStation 4 along with many new issues.


The fact of the matter is that the PS4 is too weak for emulation, For that reason alone, Sony had to sacrifice accuracy in order to gain performance, but the PS4's emu has more accuracy than PCSX2 in terms of GS and SPU emulation, As for the other parts, PCSX2 is much better at emulating it, For instance PCSX2 syncs VU0 extremely well; the PS4 doesn't, and it's because it doesn't have the horsepower to do that, and that has to lead to games like Rayman 3 being unplayable without overclocking the EE at a specific offset.

Each PS2 game PS4 package file (.pkg) includes the emulator itself, there is no included emulator in the PS4 firmware. although The PS4 firmware has some PS2 emulator specific features, like the functions sceLncUtilIsPs2Emu, sceShellCoreUtilGetImposeMenuFlagForPs2Emu, sceSystemServiceAddLocalProcessForPs2Emu, or sceSystemServiceShowImposeMenuForPs2Emu.

Emulators are programmed to be accurate for the games that they were extracted from, and that alone provides a challenge for accurate emulation. since emulators include per title patches, and different default settings, and since the Playstation 2 hardware is known to be one of the most complex systems to emulate, any small change in configuration can have negative consequences in games.
= Description =


Currently the most used emulator is Jakv2 since it is the most compatible, but for game crashes we use RECVX, and for VU accuracy we use roguev1.
The PlayStation 2 emulation on the PlayStation 4 is handled with little difference to the PlayStation 3. Some issues on PS3's PS2 emulator were left unfixed on the PlayStation 4. Consequently, the PS4 inherited some of PS3's emulation glitches, and even introduced new ones. The new issues came as a result of PS4's weakness with emulation, which likely resulted in the trade of accuracy for performance.


Also note that the BIOS itself is included in the game's pkg and it is the exact same BIOS that was used in the ps2_netemu. Another important thing is the lack of encryption mechanism for PS2 game disc image file, this time it is just a plain ISO file, but the emulator still supports LIMG sector that allows the usage of non-2048 sector size discs. Memory card is also decrypted, but the emulator checks the crc of some of the regions to ensure that the memory card was Not modified. the PS2 Emulator supports LUA scripting by "Lua Bridge", and it is an extremely powerful interface that provide many possibilities to improve compatibility.
Each PS2onPS4 package file (.pkg) includes the PS2 emulator itself. The PS4 does not have a native built-in emulator in its System Software, but it does have a few PS2 emulator specific features, like the usermode functions sceLncUtilIsPs2Emu, sceShellCoreUtilGetImposeMenuFlagForPs2Emu, sceSystemServiceAddLocalProcessForPs2Emu, and sceSystemServiceShowImposeMenuForPs2Emu.


This is first time that Sony really cared about floats in their emulator. Compared to the PS3 CPU, x86-64 is doing a worse job in mimicing PS2 FPU, and VU floats calculation behavior. This is resolved by clamping, accurate math used per memory offset, and/or converting floats to double precision. the emulator uses openCL for GS, and probably other components.
The PS2 emulators are programmed to be accurate for the games they were designed to emulate. In turn, this makes accurate emulation challenging, as emulators include per-title patches and different default settings. The PlayStation 2 hardware is a complex system to emulate; any small change in configuration can make or break a game. Currently, the most commonly used emulator is "Jakv2" from Jak games, as it is the most compatible one out there. When game crashes are concerned in an emulated PS2 game, then the Resident Evil Code: Veronica X's emulator is typically used, whereas for VU accuracy it is Rogue Galaxy's.


= Emulator Configuration =
The PS2 BIOS is included in the game's pkg file. It is the same PS2 BIOS as used in the ps2_netemu software in PS3 Operating System. The lack of encryption mechanism for PS2 game disc image files is also huge. This time, it is a plain ISO file, but the emulator still supports LIMG sector that allows the usage of non-2048 sector size discs. Moreover, memory cards are also unencrypted, but the emulator checks the CRC of some of the regions to ensure that the memory card was not modified. The PS2 emulator on PS4 also supports Lua scripting by a "Lua Bridge", which is a powerful interface that may prove exceptionally handy in fixing games.

Emulator configuration is handled by 4 files:
From old emulators like WOTM, up until new ones like Jak, the PS2 emulator underwent many changes from one game to the next. This complicates documenting and predicting the emu's behavior.


* '''config-emu-ps4.txt''' - Stores paths, basic video/audio settings in official packages. But unofficially can be also used for advanced settings for global effect in multi disc .pkg with all commands originally used in cli.conf file.
= Emulators =
* '''XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf''' - Stores per disc advanced settings. GS, VU, EE, IOP, FPU, COP2 emulation settings, are here. Also hacks, and hooks.
* '''XXXX-YYYYY_config.lua''' - Used for per disc advanced scripts. Patching EE/IOP memory, Conditional hooks.
* '''disc-swap-cli.conf''' - Stores info of multi disc games.


== Commands ==
Every PS2 emulator is programmed differently. Sometimes choosing the right emulator is the only way to fix a game. Emulators are not provided pre-installed in the PS4 OS, but instead they have to be unpacked from an official PS2 CLASSICS PKG file signed by Sony. This list includes the typical usage of those emulators. Emus with apis below 1.5 are considered old, Emus with apis above 1.5 and below 2.0 are considered in-between, and 2.0 and above are modern.
'''Known functions:''' Require cleanup.
<br>The rest of the cli and lua commands can all be found inside of an emu's decrypted '''eboot.bin'''.

FastForwardClock and AdvanceClock help fix core sync issues, but can be used as a speedhack. AdvanceClock stalls the EE for a specified amount of cycles (in decimals), while FastForwardClock behaves similarly. They are commonly used on CTC2 instructions. FastoForwardClock can be used on any offset. However, some offsets are ignored by AdvanceClock - it could be that this function only works on instructions reached after processing a branch instruction, likely specifically designed to work at both the start or end of a branch instruction (a loop). 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 at the end of a branch instruction (when it's false).<pre>
FastForwardClock
Advanceclock usage example:
Mfifodrain</pre> || <pre>Hook a function to a EE offset. it can be used either as a speedhack  
 
or a gamefix, Advance clock will overclock the EE and it is the only one that needs a value to be set.

However, it seems to somehow negatively impact performance. On Red Dead Revolver, it was used on two LW instructions grabbing data from 0x1000D010 and 0x1000D000. Both instructions were located at the start of a loop. ||--ee-hook=0x0025A9F2,AdvanceClock,,500 <br>--ee-hook=0x0019F0AD,FastForwardClock

<pre>The FPU is a fast single-precision unit that typically serves the EE by calculating in-game physics. It mostly controls the accuracy of the movement of in-game objects, or the game's gravity as a whole. In some cases, it is best to use COP2 commands with the FPU's to ensure the accuracy of the game's geometrical calculations.</pre>

| --gs-flush-ad-xyz || always, safe, safeZwrite, off, 0 || Force a primitive flush when a framebuffer is also an input texture, fixes some processing effects but it's very heavy on the GS and will cost you performance, GTA: SA and Jak games need this command. || --gs-flush-ad-xyz=safe
| --vu1-mpg-cycles  || {{Universal}} || 1 - 65535 || {{2 Bytes}}|| Set initial speed for VU1 Micro-programs (delay VIF1 startup). 100 is the default value. Generally, if VU1 requirements were a bottleneck, increasing it will result in better performance while possibly breaking graphics and lowering internal frame rates, and decreasing it might result in the opposite. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, as lowering or raising could yield differing results. || --vu1-mpg-cycles=1000<br><pre> Symbols change values close to VU1-mpg-cycles' offset. Potentially, the vu1mpgcycles command sets the speed for every portion of the mpg. Thus, by using symbols, one could specify the speed for different specific portions of the mpg rather than the whole mpg. However, this is not limited to only altering the vu1mpgcycles' speed, as going further can change other parts of the emulator, such as eecyclescalar.
 
$ goes to the specified succeeding offsets. $0 will go 2 bytes forward and change them. $1 will go 4 bytes forward and change the 2 bytes specified. For example, $0,$1 will change the 4 bytes ahead as the specified 2 bytes' value.
 
'0x' Is like '+' a symbol that modifies succeeding values. 0x0 goes 2 bytes ahead and changes them, 0x1 goes 4 bytes ahead and so on and so forth.  
 
'-' or '+' Changes the specified preceding or succeeding 2 bytes of VU1 mpg cycles' offset according to the added number. Adding -1, for example will change the 2 bytes before it. Likewise, adding -2 will go 4 bytes away and change the specified 2 bytes accordingly. It even can change EE cycle scalar itself if you go far enough. These numbers are in HEX. Infinite amounts of '-' and '+' symbols seem to be supported.</pre>

'-' or '+' Changes the specified preceding or succeeding 2 bytes of VU0 mpg cycles' offset according to the added number. Adding -1, for example will change the 2 bytes before it.

Setting it to --vu0-mpg-cycles=1280,-15 would, for example, set ee-cycle-scalar to 5. These numbers are in HEX. Infinite amounts of '-' and '+' instances seem to be supported.</pre>

===== SIF =====
 
<pre>The SIF is how the EE and IOP communicate with each other. SIF has some mailbox hardware registers that the CPUs can use to pass values to each other, which happens during SIF initialization. However, once both sides have booted, they use the SIF0 (IOP->EE) and SIF1 (EE->IOP) DMA channels to communicate. Despite common belief, these commands have no effect on performance, and are rarely ever useful.</pre>

====( SIF )====
====Input/Output====
<pre>The SIF is how the EE and IOP communicate with each other. SIF has some mailbox hardware registers that the CPUs can use to pass values to each other, which happens during SIF initialization. However, once both sides have booted, they use the SIF0 (IOP->EE) and SIF1 (EE->IOP) DMA channels to communicate. Despite common belief, these commands have no effect on performance.

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 (on newer emus, only the end of a branch works).

This register most of times will hold last executed syscall address,

Unlike the pc, this one doesn't change after a crash and has much lower latency.
Thus meaning it's better at diagnosing problems.</pre>

Consequently, some operations take a long time while EE still minds own its business. Some games abuse this and do their own thing, knowing that COP2 calculation takes an expected number of cycles. On this emu, every COP2 opcode is instant, which break games that expect it to take some time.

<br>It's worth noting that pcsx2 by default applies "accurate add/sub" for every single FPU opcode, and only to fpu opcodes. That's why accurate add/sub is needed on the PS4 while pcsx2 is happy with its default settings.

|Reading VU TPC registers returns wrong values || Street Fighter 3 EX(VU0), R: Racing Revolution(VU0), Spiderman 3 (VU0, in T-Bit handler...), Edge of Reality games(VU1) || Patches in lua. || In this emu TPC stores full addresses, which is wrong. Real hardware keep there addr >> 3. Worth noting that EoR games read VU1 TPC in a nasty way, accessing 0x43A0(VU1 TPC) from COP2 code.
|-
|VIF command interrupts handled before VIFn_CODE is updated. || Onimusha Blade Warriors ||  Fixed by patch in intr handler. || This is very specific case because Onimusha check VIFn_CODE register in interrupt handler and do nothing if code is not 0x80 (NOP with I). But VIFn_CODE seems to be updated after interrupt is handled. This practically makes everything out of sync later as interrupts are happening, but handler does nothing about them.
|-
| CDVD register 0x1F402038 (KeysValid) return wrong result. || Every "SCCS" game || Patches in lua. || Likely specific to NTSC-C releases, because that region uses special SDK. This issue makes cdvdman become stuck on any request because it thinks that the cdvd key is invalid.
|-
| Lack of CDVD error handling || Demon Chaos, Spyro A new Beginning, Silent Hill 2 Black Ribbon, games from pcsx2 #5174 PR. || Patches in lua if needed. || One correctly supported error is SCECdErABRT, rest is just not handled or what's worst trigger emu panic on purpose like SCECdErILI (but not for 0 sector request - Spyro). Some affected games can still work if error is just accidental and not checked by game code.
|-
| Corrupted SIF0 transfer when not full QW is send by IOP || True Crime: LA, PDC DC 2008, Street Racing Syndicate(1.03) || Patches in lua. || IOP is able to send words by SIF0, EE DMAC can only transfer Quadwords. When IOP send not full QW real hardware use whatever was in buffer from previous transfer for missing words (only words that are requested by iop are overwritten in transfer buffer). Emu probably memset 0 that part.

====Debugging through PS4CHEATER====
== Description ==
<pre>
You can also use for instance the program PS4CHEATER and add the addresses of


1000000368 (Jakv2 uses this offset)
The PS2 BIOS is the file '''PS20220WD20050620.crack''' included in every PS2 game .pkg. It is the same BIOS used by Sony in PS3's ps2_netemu.self. The lack of many X modules here means that homebrew compatibility is limited, as many of those need to be recompiled to use non X versions of modules, or need to load open source versions of them through MC/CDVD. An important non X module that is missing is LIBSD, therefore, homebrews that require it will likely fail to boot, or cause an error.
1000000360 (Emus with older revision use this one)


And change the type into > View as Hex.
This PS2 BIOS is known to blacklist some titles, and refuse to boot them. This includes all titles with the 00000000 000000A0 flag, documented [[PS2_Emulation#Game_ID/DiscID in PS20220WD20050620.crack|here]].
Make sure live cheats is on.
One of them will show the Current (Program counter) which will lead you to
find out which EE offset the game gets stuck on! or offsets that get repeated/cause performance problems

'''More about the PS2 BIOS'''
<pre>A section dedicated to sharing knowledge about PS2 emulation in PS4</pre>
==Emulator's grammar==
'''This list was made since most of the emulator's Commands and /or Wiki instructions are hard to comprehend for most users.'''
<pre>
<pre>
Insn = Instruction                          | lopnor = (Ps3 config) [It's unknown what lopnor stands for]
The version of the PS2 BIOS seems to be the developement v2.20 from the Japanese region (22/01/2007), and is not limited to booting only NTSC-J games.
Addsub = Add / Subtract (MATH)              | CLI = Command line instruction (?)
The PS2 emulator does not support USB peripherals, but this seems not to be a limitation of the BIOS, as it is used also in CECH C/E PS3 consoles.
muldiv = Multiply / Divide (MATH)          | Mem = Memory
There are signs that different PS2 BIOS versions exist, named PS20190AC20030623_nordram_miniOSD.bin. This PS2 BIOS has included handy extensions for debugging, and can debug print with "debug osd verbosity" from CLI set to "verbose". The most noticeable difference for both BIOS files seems to be the special RDRAM module.
opt = Optimize (?)  Option(?)              | Int = Integer (?)
 
jr = Jump register                          | cmd = Command
Whilst the PS3 patches its PS2 BIOS to preferred regions, the PS4 uses a so called CallHook which is better known for PCSX2 users as fastboot. For more information about this patch, look at PCSX2's fastboot code. It is the same code except that PS2 emulators for PS4 do not have patches for different BIOS revisions.
ad = Address (?)                            | XXXX-YYYYY = The ps2 game's region code
inst = Instant (?)                          | PC = Program counter
Scalar = A multiplier for the default value | Hook = Attach a function to an offset
r59 = EE                                    | ∞ = No limit for possible values (Int32)
r30 = IOP                                  | SPS = Spiky polygon syndrome (Another type of graphical glitches)
===============================================================================================================================
</pre>
</pre>


==CLI==
'''PS2 BIOS file information:'''
'''Making a comment inside the CLI'''
<pre>
<pre>
1.You can make a comment inside a cli by using a Hashtag (#) at the start of the comment
File name: PS20220WD20050620.crack
Example:
MD5: 83AD2B530C9C102A561BA1CDC6D996D5
#Speedup
--vu1-mpg-cycles=1000
 
2.Your comments will be fully ignored if they are in the same line as the hashtag
Example:
#This is a comment
 
Incorrect example:
#This is a comment
This is not a part of the comment and will crash the emu
 
 
3. hyphens are the start of a command in CLI (--)
And as for the equals, (=) everything that comes after it is the value that the command will use
 
On a lua hyphens (--) mean it is a comment, but on the cli it's the start of the command.
4. Commands cannot contain spaces
Example: --ee-cycle-scalar=0.1
 
Incorrect example: --ee cycle scalar = 0.1
</pre>
</pre>
'''Making a CLI.'''
<pre>
1. You can use any text editor to make a CLI
2. Each command has to be below the previous one and they cannot share the same line.


Correct CLI example:
== Files inside ROM image ==
--vu1-mpg-cycles=1000
--ee-cycle-scalar=1.1


Incorrect CLI example:
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:small;"
 
! File !! Offset in exported bin !! Description !! File type (exportable)
--vu1-mpg-cycles=1000 --ee-cycle-scalar=1.1
|-
 
| RESET || 0x00 || Bootstrap code for the EE and IOP. || BIN
3. Your commands cannot contain spaces
|-
4. Values start after the (=) sign
| ROMDIR || 0x2780 || The ROMDIR part of the ROM image, which provides information on the location and name of files contained in the image. || BIN
5. Commands can possibly contain multiple value entries and some values can be skipped by adding (,,).
|-
Example: --ee-hook=0x0028A578,AdvanceClock,,1000
| EXTINFO || 0x2CC0 || Contains the "EXTINFO" for all files in the ROM image. || BIN
 
|-
Unskipped value example: --ee-hook=0x0028A578,AdvanceClock,0x13a893bd,1000</pre>
| SBIN || 0x3330 || Seems to be the pad controller library for the PS1 monitor. || BIN
 
|-
==LUA==
| LOGO || 0xA2D0 || PS1 logo? || BIN
'''Making a lua'''
|-
<pre>
| IOPBTCONF || 00x1EA20 || Boot configuration file for the IOP, during the final phase of the IOP reset. If no UDNL module is specified, the IOP will only have a single IOP reset in the reboot process, with the modules listed in IOPBTCONF. || BIN
When making a lua there is 1 part that is always necessary (Apirequest)
|-
and 2 parts that are almost always necessary (Object) (Object's commands).
| IOPBTCON2 || 0x1EB10 || Boot configuration file for the IOP, for the first phase of the IOP reset (before UDNL is loaded). || BIN
By order it goes like this:
|-
1. Apirequest
| SYSMEM || 0x1EBE0 || System Memory Manager. || ELF
2. Object calling, gsobj/eeobj/iopobj, etc
|-
3. the object's command
| LOADCORE || 0x1FE00 || The core of IOP module loading. Provides the lowest level of IOP module loading functions. Also handles the startup of the IOP. || ELF
You cannot call an object without first requesting an api, as that will cause a crash.
and you most certainly cannot use an object's command without calling the object first
 
For instance you cannot use
iopObj.ReadMem32(0x400000)
 
Without first having this in your lua
local iopObj = getIOPObject()
</pre>
 
'''Making a comment inside the lua'''
<pre>
You can make a comment in a lua by using two hyphens (--)
Your comments will be ignored by the lua
 
You can also use --[[ (comment) --]]
All text between --[[ and --]] will be ignored by lua
 
 
</pre>
==Commands==
<br>'''(Cycle scalars)'''
<pre>
Cycle scalar is basically a scale between overclock and cycle skip (Underclock), we say that to simplify
for anyone making configs, but in the truth it controls cycle speed of that Processor whether it be (IOP) or (SIF) or (EE).
 
Slowing the cycles can be done by setting it higher than 1.0 (Underclock) (Cycle skip)
Speeding up the cycles can be done by setting it anything lower than 1.0 (Overclock)
 
So, it's basically a multiplier of the Processor's cycle speed in a way that's connected to the Delta counter.
 
Sony uses all of them to improve sync, It's recommended to use them for sync also considering that using them can possibly
cause stuttering or input lag with no real benefit.
 
Except for eecyclescalar. as using it can be very helpful for performance gain
when you slow down the cycles (Anything higher than 1.0).
 
Some games like (Metal gear solid 3) want a very fast EE cycle speed,
and will refuse to work if it's at the Default speed.
 
(0.1) is the highest number for overclocking
And (1.0) is the Default clock value.
And (5.0) is the highest value for Underclocking (Cycle skipping) For the (IOP) and (EE)
 
As for the (SIF) it has no limit for underclocking.
</pre>
 
'''(vu1/0 mpg cycles)'''
<pre>
This command sets the cycle speed of vu1 or vu0.
0.1 is the fastest cycle speed and the most compatible (Slowest in terms of performance).
100 is the default value set by sony
1000 is the recommended value for performance gain but you can increase it to any value you like.

==Description==
 
The PS2 bios is the file '''PS20220WD20050620.crack''' included in every PS2 game .pkg. It Is '''exactly''' the same BIOS that Sony used in ps2_netemu.self in PS3. Due to lack of many X modules homebrew compatibility is limited, and many of those need to be recompiled to use non X versions of modules, or need to load open source versions of them thru mc/cdvd. Important non X module that is missing is libsd, and homebrew that need it, will most likely fail to boot, or error.
<br>Bios is know to blacklist some titles, and refuse to boot them. This include all titles with 00000000 000000A0 flag from that  [[PS2_Emulation#Game_ID/DiscID in PS20220WD20050620.crack | list (click here)]]
 
<br>'''More about the bios'''
<pre>
Bios version seems to be Developement v2.20 from Japan region (22/01/2007), but it's of course not limited to booting only NTSC-J games.
Emulator not support USB peripherals, but this seems to be not limitation of BIOS, as it is used also in CECH C/E PS3 consoles.
There are signs that different bios version exist, named PS20190AC20030623_nordram_miniOSD.bin. This bios have included handy extensions for debugging, and can debug print with "debug osd verbosity" from CLI set to "verbose". Most noticeable difference for both bios files seems to be special RDRAM module.
 
While PS3 emulators patch bios to preferred region, emulator used in PS4 use so called CallHook which is known better for pcsx2 users as fastboot. No need to describe patch here, just look at PCSX2 fastboot code. It's literally the same code, but PS4 emus don't have patches for different bios revisions.

Description[edit | edit source]

The PlayStation 2 emulation on the PlayStation 4 is handled with little difference to the PlayStation 3. Some issues on PS3's PS2 emulator were left unfixed on the PlayStation 4. Consequently, the PS4 inherited some of PS3's emulation glitches, and even introduced new ones. The new issues came as a result of PS4's weakness with emulation, which likely resulted in the trade of accuracy for performance.

Each PS2onPS4 package file (.pkg) includes the PS2 emulator itself. The PS4 does not have a native built-in emulator in its System Software, but it does have a few PS2 emulator specific features, like the usermode functions sceLncUtilIsPs2Emu, sceShellCoreUtilGetImposeMenuFlagForPs2Emu, sceSystemServiceAddLocalProcessForPs2Emu, and sceSystemServiceShowImposeMenuForPs2Emu.

The PS2 emulators are programmed to be accurate for the games they were designed to emulate. In turn, this makes accurate emulation challenging, as emulators include per-title patches and different default settings. The PlayStation 2 hardware is a complex system to emulate; any small change in configuration can make or break a game. Currently, the most commonly used emulator is "Jakv2" from Jak games, as it is the most compatible one out there. When game crashes are concerned in an emulated PS2 game, then the Resident Evil Code: Veronica X's emulator is typically used, whereas for VU accuracy it is Rogue Galaxy's.

The PS2 BIOS is included in the game's pkg file. It is the same PS2 BIOS as used in the ps2_netemu software in PS3 Operating System. The lack of encryption mechanism for PS2 game disc image files is also huge. This time, it is a plain ISO file, but the emulator still supports LIMG sector that allows the usage of non-2048 sector size discs. Moreover, memory cards are also unencrypted, but the emulator checks the CRC of some of the regions to ensure that the memory card was not modified. The PS2 emulator on PS4 also supports Lua scripting by a "Lua Bridge", which is a powerful interface that may prove exceptionally handy in fixing games.

This is first time Sony cared about floats in its emulators. Compared to the PS3 CPU, x86-64 is doing a worse job in mimicking FPU and VU floats calculation behavior. This is resolved by clamping, accurate math used per memory offset, and/or converting floats to double precision. The emulator uses OpenCL for GS, and likely other components as well.

From old emulators like WOTM, up until new ones like Jak, the PS2 emulator underwent many changes from one game to the next. This complicates documenting and predicting the emu's behavior.

Emulators[edit | edit source]

Every PS2 emulator is programmed differently. Sometimes choosing the right emulator is the only way to fix a game. Emulators are not provided pre-installed in the PS4 OS, but instead they have to be unpacked from an official PS2 CLASSICS PKG file signed by Sony. This list includes the typical usage of those emulators. Emus with apis below 1.5 are considered old, Emus with apis above 1.5 and below 2.0 are considered in-between, and 2.0 and above are modern.

Emulator name Typical usage - Info API Version Similar emulators
2018
The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match The only known emulator where Mojin-ribbon is playable. Commonly known as "KOF98". 2.0
2017
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Good compatibility with most PS2 games. It has a very high api version which means more Lua commands are supported. In addition, Jak emulators are one of the few that can use the --gs-adaptive-frameskip=1 command. It is often referred to as "Jak v2" 2.2 JakX, Jak 2, Jak 3,
Jak x Useful for games with COP2 issues. It fixed Superman - Shadow of Apokolips's sps. Jak, Jak 2, Jak 3,
Art of Fighting Anthology Similar to RECVX. It was successful in fixing "Coraline." Sometimes called "AOFA" 2.0
Resident Evil - Code: Veronica Fixes games like Jackie chan Adventures, SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature From the Krust Krab, Pac-man World 3, Yu-Gi-Oh: Capsule monsters, SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis freezing at a black/splash screen. Additionally, games requiring OPL's mode 2 tend to have a higher chance of being playable under it. Often referred to as "RECVX" 1.7 Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Redfaction, AOFA.
Fatal Fury Battle Archives: Volume 2 Similarly to RECVX, it is often used to fix frozen games.
2016
Red Faction It is prominently used to fix VU1/VIF1 sensitive games. It was used to fix Tony Hawk games suddenly crashing, as well as MTVU sensitive games such as Star Wars Battlefront II. 1.6 Max payne
Forbidden Siren The only emulator to fix Ice age 2 being stuck at splash screen. It also fixed Gran turismo 4 running abysmally slow. 0.1
The King of Fighters 2000 Seemingly one of the most GIF-accurate emus, it prevents Koei Tecmo games (Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires and Samurai Warriors 2) from suddenly freezing when battle starts. Moreover, it is likely the only emulator where Batman Begins does not crash. Often referred to as "KOF2000" 1.2 Roguev1, KOF98, Okage
Destroy All Humans! Fixed Tenchu: Fatal Shadows', and Veggietales crashing, as well as Bratz The Movie from freezing. This may be a result of a good GIF/VIF timing. 0.1
Destroy All Humans! 2 0.7
Rise of the Kasai It fixed most of the Harry Potter games. Often referred to as "rotk". 0.2
2015
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
GTA III Fixed the PAL version of Genji: Dawn of the Samurai. 0.6
PaRappa The Rapper 2 The only emulator to boot Spyro: A Hero's Tail. 0.1
Star Wars Racer Revenge Seemingly the closest emulator to the PS3's. Useful for debugging games as it also shows useful information such as pagefault. 0.4

Emulator Configuration[edit | edit source]

The PS2 emulator can be configured through 4 files.

Files[edit | edit source]

  • config-emu-ps4.txt - Stores paths, basic video/audio settings in official packages. But unofficially can be also used for advanced settings for global effect in multi disc .pkg with all commands originally used in cli.conf file.
  • XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf - Stores per disc advanced settings. GS, VU, EE, IOP, FPU, COP2 emulation settings, are here. Also hacks, and hooks.
  • XXXX-YYYYY_config.lua - Used for per disc advanced scripts. Patching EE/IOP memory, Conditional hooks.
  • disc-swap-cli.conf - Stores info of multi disc games.

Commands[edit | edit source]

The rest of the CLI and Lua commands can all be found inside of any PS2 emulator's EBOOT.BIN file.

XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf commands[edit | edit source]

These commands work in config-emu-ps4.txt, but the official way to use them is through the CLI file (It is also needed for multi-disc packages). Additionally, some commands are still not discovered, and known commands might be missing their values.
All commands are pre-made. Creating new CLI commands is impossible.
The values of the commands are also pre-defined by Sony and/or have a set of possible values or ranges.
Some CLI commands have no effect, as they were added to the eboot.bin without being programmed. Some useful commands were removed or added in or from different emu revisions, or their effects were changed. In some PS2 emulators, CLI configurations can be found in the ram at SceLibcHeap[0]-3-881004000.

Commands for the emulated Emotion Engine. These commands may improve performance, prevent crashes, or provide better core sync.
Command Emulator Support Values Value Type Notes Usage
Speedhacks / Desync Fixes
--ee-cycle-scalar Universal Slowest cycles speed: 5.0
Normal cycles speed: 1.0
Fastest cycles speed: 0.1		 Float Changes the cycle speed of the EE. It can benefit core sync or performance (lowering the cycle rate may affect FMVS). The default value for most emulators is ~1.0. It is highly sensitive, as any slight change may break or fix the game. --ee-cycle-scalar=1.0
--ee-context-switch-cycles Exclusive Accelerate cycles (359 => 0)
Decelerate cycles (361 => ∞ )		 4 Bytes Its effects are mysterious. Possibly delays EE startup when starting new tasks. Does not work on Jak emulators. Default value is 360. Seems to be useful for Bee Movie, Metal Gear Solid 3, as well as others with IPU issues. It bears no effect on VU timing, but it may alter the core's timing with some DMA channels. --ee-context-switch-cycles=2700?
--ee-hook Variable AdvanceClock
FastForwardClock
MfifoDrain
ForceEOB
SO3_AudioRequest
SO3_AudioWriteBack		 4 Byte hex (offset),string,4 Byte hex (opcode),4 Byte Decimals (advanceclock value) Runs the specified functionality each time a selected EE offset is reached. FastForwardClock and AdvanceClock help fix core sync issues, but can be used as a speedhack. AdvanceClock stalls the EE for a specified amount of cycles (in decimals), while FastForwardClock behaves similarly. They are commonly used on CTC2 instructions. FastoForwardClock can be used on any offset. However, some offsets are ignored by AdvanceClock - it could be that this function only works on instructions reached after processing a branch instruction, likely specifically designed to work at both the start or end of a branch instruction (a loop). 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 at the end of a branch instruction (when it's false).
Advanceclock usage example:

0x0 nop <-- Advancelock can work here on old emulators ✓
0x4 nop <-- Advancelock cannot work here ✗
0x8 beq zero,v1,0x0 <-- Advancelock cannot work here ✗
0xC nop <-- Advancelock cannot work here ✗
0x10 nop <-- Advancelock can work here on both old and new emulators ✓.
MfifoDrain is still unknown, but only works on modern emus such as Jakv2. However, it seems to somehow negatively impact performance. On Red Dead Revolver, it was used on two LW instructions grabbing data from 0x1000D010 and 0x1000D000. Both instructions were located at the start of a loop.		 --ee-hook=0x0025A9F2,AdvanceClock,,500

FPU[edit | edit source]
The FPU is a fast single-precision unit that typically serves the EE by calculating in-game physics. It mostly controls the accuracy of the movement of in-game objects, or the game's gravity as a whole. In some cases, it is best to use COP2 commands with the FPU's to ensure the accuracy of the game's geometrical calculations.

VU1[edit | edit source]
VU1 is the Graphics Synthesizer’s alternate processing unit. Commands here typically improve performance, prevent crashes, and fix SPS (graphical glitches).
Command Emulator Support Values Value Type Notes Usage
Speedhacks
--vu1-mpg-cycles Universal 1 - 65535 2 Bytes Set initial speed for VU1 Micro-programs (delay VIF1 startup). 100 is the default value. Generally, if VU1 requirements were a bottleneck, increasing it will result in better performance while possibly breaking graphics and lowering internal frame rates, and decreasing it might result in the opposite. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, as lowering or raising could yield differing results. --vu1-mpg-cycles=1000
 Symbols change values close to VU1-mpg-cycles' offset. Potentially, the vu1mpgcycles command sets the speed for every portion of the mpg. Thus, by using symbols, one could specify the speed for different specific portions of the mpg rather than the whole mpg. However, this is not limited to only altering the vu1mpgcycles' speed, as going further can change other parts of the emulator, such as eecyclescalar.

$ goes to the specified succeeding offsets. $0 will go 2 bytes forward and change them. $1 will go 4 bytes forward and change the 2 bytes specified. For example, $0,$1 will change the 4 bytes ahead as the specified 2 bytes' value.

'0x' Is like '+' a symbol that modifies succeeding values. 0x0 goes 2 bytes ahead and changes them, 0x1 goes 4 bytes ahead and so on and so forth. 

'-' or '+' Changes the specified preceding or succeeding 2 bytes of VU1 mpg cycles' offset according to the added number. Adding -1, for example will change the 2 bytes before it. Likewise, adding -2 will go 4 bytes away and change the specified 2 bytes accordingly. It even can change EE cycle scalar itself if you go far enough. These numbers are in HEX. Infinite amounts of '-' and '+' symbols seem to be supported.
--vu1-di-bits Universal Default value = 1

'-' or '+' Changes the specified preceding or succeeding 2 bytes of VU0 mpg cycles' offset according to the added number. Adding -1, for example will change the 2 bytes before it. Likewise, adding -2 will go 4 bytes away and change the specified 2 bytes accordingly. It even can change EE cycle scalar itself at -15 (Jakv2). Setting it to --vu0-mpg-cycles=1280,-15 would, for example, set ee-cycle-scalar to 5. These numbers are in HEX. Infinite amounts of '-' and '+' instances seem to be supported.

DMA Channels[edit | edit source]

VIF[edit | edit source]
The VIF decompresses vector data, uploads microprograms to the VUs, and sends graphical data to the GIF. Its commands are often used to fix freezing.
Command Emulator Support Values Value Type Notes Usage
VIF Game fixes
--vif-ignore-invalid-cmd Exclusive 0, 1 Binary Ignore invalid vif commands. In some cases, setting it to 1 can fix games that freeze while showing the same frame. --vif-ignore-invalid-cmd=1

VIF1 Game fixes
--vif1-ignore-cmd-ints Exclusive 0, 1 Binary Set to 1 to ignore command interrupt bit. (info , explanation of int bit is right before command list). Can in some cases fix games that freeze while showing the same frame if set to 1. Games likes "Men in Black II - Alien Escape" and "Test Drive Unlimited" Will always need it. --vif1-ignore-cmd-ints=1
--vif1-instant-xfer Universal 1 = Instant VIF1
0 = Delayed VIF1		 Binary Changes VIF1 transfer speed. 0 slows its timing and is the compatible option for most games, while 1 speeds up its timing, and being more compatible with a small fraction of games. It can be used to fix graphical glitches or potentially prevent games from freezing and crashing. --vif1-instant-xfer=0
SIF[edit | edit source]
The SIF is how the EE and IOP communicate with each other. SIF has some mailbox hardware registers that the CPUs can use to pass values to each other, which happens during SIF initialization. However, once both sides have booted, they use the SIF0 (IOP->EE) and SIF1 (EE->IOP) DMA channels to communicate. Despite common belief, these commands have no effect on performance, and are rarely ever useful.

GS[edit | edit source]

"GS" stands for Graphics Synthesizer. It is the PlayStation®2's co-processor that is responsible for rendering the graphics (but is also used by some games for additional calculations and other purposes). In rare cases, these commands may help fix crashes and slowdowns.
Command Emulator Support Values Value Type Notes Usage
Speedhacks
--gs-optimize-30fps Universal 0, 1 Binary Speedhack for GS hungry games. --gs-optimize-30fps=1
--gs-adaptive-frameskip Exclusive 0, 1 Binary Speedhack. Skips frames when the gs demands more resources than there are available. doesn't work on all emulators. It does however, work on jak emulators --gs-adaptive-frameskip=1
--gs-h2l-list-opt Exclusive 0, 1 Binary Setting it to 1 improves GS performance --gs-h2l-list-opt=1
GS features
--gs-use-mipmap Universal Default = 0
Values = 0, 1		 Binary Enables mipmapping support. Can be used to fix graphics. Needs --gs-kernel-cl="mipmap" for full mipmapping support. If upscaling, however, --gs-kernel-cl-up="mipmap2x2" is also needed. It works best on War of the Monsters emulator, as can be seen in the Ratchet series' mipmapping issues responding only to this emu's mipmapping functionality. --gs-use-mipmap=1
--gs-use-deferred-l2h Universal 0, 1 Binary Delay option for L2H (local to host, GS to EE). It may fix freezes when set to 0, as was seen in Star Wars - Battlefront 2. --gs-use-deferred-l2h=1
--gs-use-clut-merge Universal 0, 1 Binary Enabling CLUT merging helps improve how the emulator processes textures that use indexed color palettes. It ensures more accurate emulation of the PS2’s color handling. It sometimes restores missing graphical elements, and fix texture flickering (prominently flickering shadows or UI elements). It prevents Spyro's shadow from flickering in Enter the Dragonfly. Enabling it is the accurate, albeit slow option. --gs-use-clut-merge=1
--gs-flush-ad-xyz Exclusive always, safe, safeZwrite, off, 0 String Force a primitive flush when a framebuffer is also an input texture. This fixes some processing effects, but it can sometimes be heavy on the GS in terms of performance. GTA: SA, and Jak 3 use this command. --gs-flush-ad-xyz=safe
--gs-force-bilinear Universal 0, 1 Binary Forces bilinear filtering, can fix ghosting problems, and corrects positioning between pixels, such as in Pac-Man World Rally. Recommended for most games except the ones using 2D images, as it could incorrectly structure pixels' positions. --gs-force-bilinear=1

--gs-vert-precision Exclusive 8, 16 1 Byte This option allows the user to choose between 8-bit and 16-bit precision for the vertex calculations in 3D graphics rendering. It reduces the likelihood of visual distortions such as jagged edges, improper alignment of, or missing polygons, and model 'warping' when set to 8. The emu expects the values of 8 or 16, any other values are not permitted. It is set at 16 by default. --gs-vert-precision=8
--gs-skip-dirty-flush-on-mipmap Universal 0, 1 Binary Skip flushing textures marked as dirty from cache when enabled. It does, however, require mipmap to be enabled first. --gs-skip-dirty-flush-on-mipmap=1
--gs-packed15-fmv-opt Universal 0, 1 Binary Unknown. This option likely controls whether the emulator optimizes or processes FMVs that use the 15-bit packed color format. Used by Ape Escape 2 --gs-packed15-fmv-opt=1

Input/Output[edit | edit source]

IOP[edit | edit source]

--iop-cycle-scalar Universal
Accelerate IOP cycles: (0.999 => 0.100)
Default: 0.50
Decelerate IOP cycles: (1.001 => 5.000)		 Float Not a performance speedhack. It impacts the speed of loading times and input latency. The default value for most emulators is 0.5 --iop-cycle-scalar=1.0

--iop-hook Variable AdvanceClock
FastForwardClock
Mfifodrain		 4 Byte hex (offset),string,4 Byte hex (opcode),4 Byte Decimals (advanceclock value) IOP native hook, Sony uses it on their official release of Red Dead Revolver. It helps fix timing issues. It runs the specified functionality each time a selected IOP offset is reached. FastForwardClock and AdvanceClock help fix core sync issues. It is believed that AdvanceClock stalls the IOP for a specified amount of cycles, while FastForwardClock behaves similarly. 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 (on newer emus, only the end of a branch works). Mfifodrain is still unknown, but only works on modern emus such as Jakv2. --iop-hook=0x0086ac,FastForwardClock
--iop-block-validation Universal IsC, ShortHash, Hash String Way of validating that block been modified, and require recompilation. Other Possible values include PageProt, None, PageProtection --iop-block-validation=IsC

Useful for games like Samurai Warriors 2 that include an import data feature. Sadly this command isn't supported by many emulators, but jakv2 is confirmed to support it --switch-disc-reset=1
--cdvd-determinism Exclusive Unknown
Timing
--cdvd-sector-read-cycles Universal 0 = Fastest
32000 = Default
80000 = Slowest		 4 Bytes Set DVD reading speed. Higher values are slower, lower values are faster. Kinetica uses 40000, Psychonauts 4000, Red Dead Revolver 5000, Rise of Kasai 31000. Some games require moderate speed, too slow or too fast could cause audio problems. --cdvd-sector-read-cycles=0.1
--cdvd-sector-seek-cycles Exclusive 0 = Fastest and default
80000 = Slowest		 4 Bytes Set the speed at which the emulated CDVD spins. Higher values are slower, lower values are faster. Fixes boot-up sometimes. More info here [1]. --cdvd-sector-seek-cycles=0

--mtap1 Universal Disabled, Always, ByHost String Multitap switch. The values are correct but the multitap only works in certain games. --mtap1=always
--mtap2 Universal Disabled, Always, ByHost String Multitap switch. Some games require multitap to be selected only on second port (1, 2-a, 2-b, 2-c layout). To achieve that, we need to disable the first mtap. In some cases, the emulator can be flawed in how it handles multi-tap when it involves "--mtap2". All functions for 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D must be redirected to ports on multi-tap 1 by using memory patches. --mtap2=always

XXXX-YYYYY_config.lua[edit | edit source]

It is the most powerful configuration on the emulator as it allows for direct patching of EE/IOP/VU memory, hooks registers, hook DMA. Almost everything can be done here.

If needed, it can hook registers by using register names from alias files. Alias files (ee-cpr0-alias.lua, ee-gpr-alias.lua, ee-hwaddr.lua) are stored in lua_include folder, and can be included to config by using require ("alias file name").

Known functions: Require cleanup.

ApiRequest[edit | edit source]

The most important part of the LUA script. The LUA script will crash the game if used without it.
Command Usage Notes
apiRequest apiRequest(0.1) apiRequest(<api version>)

Different emu versions support different highest api. Calling api is mandatory. some commands require higher version. Highest known version is 2.3 api from JAK 2,3,X game emulator.

ieee754_acosf ieee754_asinf ieee754_sqrtf
fabs cosf fabsf
sinf acosf asinf
sqrtf fptoui fptodp
litodp dptoli dptofp
memcpy memset strlen
eeNativeHook eeNativeHook(<ee ofset>, <original opcode>, <action>) eeNativeHook require apiRequest(1.4) or higher.

Note: eeObj, emuObj, gsObj, etc. are described as required but this is not really true. You can set the functions locals that they use as whatever you want, but due to the specificity of that emulator, it will be better to keep official naming used in official configs.

Custom config.lua examples[edit | edit source]

Here is the first custom LUA configuration created by the community: 

apiRequest(0.1)

-- Fix black screen SLUS-20064

eeInsnReplace(0x1CF3CC, 0x4100ffff, 0x00000000)	-- bc0f 0x1CF3CC to nop

This is a very basic command to replace a part of the EE memory with another instruction.

  • apiRequest(0.1) - Is required for every config. Used version depend on your original eboot highest supported api. 0.1 seems to be enough for basic patches like here. 2.3 is highest known for now.
  • -- Fix black screen SLUS-20064 is comment
  • eeInsnReplace(0x1CF3CC, 0x4100ffff, 0x00000000) is our true command here. We are replacing the value 0x4100FFFF to 0x00000000 at the offset of 0x1CF3CC . Like you can see we need to add what opcode is replaced. Not only patch, and memory offset.
  • -- bc0f 0x1CF3CC to nop is just another comment, in this case explaining what is changed

Emulator related registers[edit | edit source]

"Fake" registers Address Notes
(?) 0x1000000360 Locking the value seems to cause a crash.
Current PC
(4 Bytes)		 0x1000000368 Shows the current offset that's being executed by the EE.

Updated only on branch/jump tests, unless commands such as --ee-pc-coherency or --ee-insn-flush-pc are used.
Then updates are instant, right when instructions are executed.
Commonly used by sceners as a way of finding troublesome offsets. Can be found in some emulators here too: 0x8000016830

(?) 0x100000036C 
Updated on branch/jump instructions, emulator seems to use it to store next address that will be executed.
At least in recompiler to interpreter fallback mode. During tests it shows 0x80000184
Delta counter 0x1000000370 
(Passed cycles, likely decrementer). 
Evt check is performed on branch test when 0.
Fastforwardclock set this to 0,
advanceclock subtract value from this fake reg)
Cycles 0x1000000378
(?) 0x1000000384 
Address when last exception occurred on r5900.
This register most of times will hold last executed syscall address,
sometimes last tlb miss or break(if "as nop" is disabled).
Unlike the pc, this one doesn't change after a crash and has much lower latency.
Thus meaning it's better at diagnosing problems.

PS3 Configuration support[edit | edit source]

The PS2 emulator of the PS4 supports configurations in the known format from ps2_netemu/ps2classic that came from the PS3. This feature was officially used in Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits ps2-ps4 classic. To enable PS3 style configuration, add this to config-emu-ps4.txt:

--lopnor-config=1
--ps2-title-id=TITLE-ID

The configuration file needs to be in folder ...'''/patches/{TITLE-ID}/''' and the file need to have name '''{TITLE-ID}_lopnor.cfgbin'''. The Title ID needs to be in XXXX-YYYYY format (ex. SLUS-12345). Example path: /patches/SLUS-12345/SLUS-12345_lopnor.cfgbin. A tester confirmed that configurations work as is without even the need to edit them.

Please keep in mind that not all PS3 commands are recognized, only 0x01 (can depend upon emu revision), 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0F, 0x10, 0x26, 0x27 and 0x42.
For example, the Rayman 3 configuration does not work due to the command being unsupported on PS4.
Command 0x07 is NOT recognized, but can be manually translated to CLI configuration (to "--vu-xgkick-delay=value").
Same goes for command 0x11 (--vu0-accurate-addsub-range can be used).

Confirmed known issues[edit | edit source]

Issue Games affected Solution Description
Flags are incorrectly updated Every Ratchet game except Size Matters, possibly many more. Setting opt-flags commands to 0, or manually setting the flag values using LUA patches. For VU1 or VU0, this may crash games or create sps. As for COP2, this could possibly mess with physics or also crash games.
Xgkick is 1 cycle behind Auto Modelista, Galactic Wrestling, others. Set --vu-xgkick-delay to 0. Causes missing textures.
No support for EE Cache Ice Age 2, DOA2: Extreme, Nascar 2009, Barnyard, Others Lua patches to the EE memory and picking the right emulator
No support for GIFFIFO Fifa Street 2, FIFA 2005 ?
Missing COP2 pipeline emulation. other games affected by COP2 timing Rearranging code through lua patches. While COP2 is a part of EE, in terms of emulation it's a separate processor that can run on its own. Consequently, some operations take a long time while EE still minds own its business. Some games abuse this and do their own thing, knowing that COP2 calculation takes an expected number of cycles. On this emu, every COP2 opcode is instant, which break games that expect it to take some time.
VU0 is not running in sync with EE core 24 The Game, ATV Quad Power Racing 2, Ghosthunter, Rayman Arena, Rayman 3, Largo winch, Ratchet and clank games. All games using M-bit. EE hook AdvanceClock or fastforwardclock commands on affected addresses to push VU0 ahead while stalling EE, setting the value of 5 to ee cycle scalar, and patches to rearrange code. Most of the time, it will be CTC2/QMTC2 instructions with interlock that are affected. Emulator kickstarts VU0 for 256 cycles, while reporting that 512 cycles passed. Yup, we are out of sync right from the start of VU0 mpg because people working for $ony don't know that VU0 run at EE MHz, not at EE bus MHz. Not to mention, that a 256 cycles kickstart is too much even on the correct speed. Later things just got worse. This issue can be partially replicated on Pcsx2 if you overclock the EE by +3
FPU/VU math inaccuracies. Koun, Tony hawk games, Devil may cry 3, Gun, TY the Tasmanian Tiger 3, Beyond Good & Evil, MTX Mototrax, Max payne, Bully, Jackie chan adventures, Wild arms 3, Pac-man World 3, Gran turismo 4, Many others Lua patches to the EE memory, accurate math commands. PS2 use really obscure floating point math, only one guard bit is used in calculations. PCSX2 hack it with different rounding modes, emu on ps4 fix it with soft floats, usually applied per offset. Sometime with patches directly to affected code (THPS engine).


It's worth noting that pcsx2 by default applies "accurate add/sub" for every single FPU opcode, and only to fpu opcodes. That's why accurate add/sub is needed on the PS4 while pcsx2 is happy with its default settings.

M-Bit support is broken Every game that uses M-Bit. Totally Spies! Totally Party, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing, My Street, Crash Twinsanity, Marvel Nemesis, Panzer Elite Action - Fields of Glory, Super Monkey Ball Adventure, most Eko Software games, and many more. [2] Lua patches to the EE memory While emulator respect m-bit, way that VU0 work on it make it broken most of times (check "VU0 is not running in sync with EE core" issue).
Multitap doesn't support all games Urban reign, Digimon Rumble Arena 2, Digimon World 4, others Lua patches Emulator expect PS4 to be able to use 8 controllers (well, who doesn't? Even PS1 can do it...). That cause all kind of mess with controller detection when game expect multitap in second port.
DMA writes when busy signal is engaged Ratchet and Clank games, Metal gear solid 2, others None yet AKA eetiminghack
VIF1 runs too fast Urban reign, Avatar, PaRappa The Rapper 2, Eternal Poison, Soul Calibur 2, Soul Calibur 3, Others Using LUA's SchedulerDelayEvent command or CLI'S vif1-instant-xfer command, combined with vu1 jit-sync and mpg cycles. The emu, Redfaction, has a higher chance of fixing this issue. Sony wanted to improve the performance, which is the reason VIF1 is instant. The lua's command can be customizable to set the delay period, the cli can't, therefore lua's command is much more compatible
Reading VU TPC registers returns wrong values Street Fighter 3 EX(VU0), R: Racing Revolution(VU0), Spiderman 3 (VU0, in T-Bit handler...), Edge of Reality games(VU1) Patches in lua. In this emu TPC stores full addresses, which is wrong. Real hardware keep there addr >> 3. Worth noting that EoR games read VU1 TPC in a nasty way, accessing 0x43A0(VU1 TPC) from COP2 code.
VIF command interrupts handled before VIFn_CODE is updated. Onimusha Blade Warriors Fixed by patch in intr handler. This is very specific case because Onimusha check VIFn_CODE register in interrupt handler and do nothing if code is not 0x80 (NOP with I). But VIFn_CODE seems to be updated after interrupt is handled. This practically makes everything out of sync later as interrupts are happening, but handler does nothing about them.
CDVD register 0x1F402038 (KeysValid) return wrong result. Every "SCCS" game Patches in lua. Likely specific to NTSC-C releases, because that region uses special SDK. This issue makes cdvdman become stuck on any request because it thinks that the cdvd key is invalid.
Lack of CDVD error handling Demon Chaos, Spyro A new Beginning, Silent Hill 2 Black Ribbon, games from pcsx2 #5174 PR. Patches in lua if needed. One correctly supported error is SCECdErABRT, rest is just not handled or what's worst trigger emu panic on purpose like SCECdErILI (but not for 0 sector request - Spyro). Some affected games can still work if error is just accidental and not checked by game code.
Corrupted SIF0 transfer when not full QW is send by IOP True Crime: LA, PDC DC 2008, Street Racing Syndicate(1.03) Patches in lua. IOP is able to send words by SIF0, EE DMAC can only transfer Quadwords. When IOP send not full QW real hardware use whatever was in buffer from previous transfer for missing words (only words that are requested by iop are overwritten in transfer buffer). Emu probably memset 0 that part.

Awaiting Wikify[edit | edit source]

Issue Games affected Solution Description
Games crash or get stuck from an LW from (VIF_STAT) 0x10003C00 or (GIF_STAT) 0x10003020 SSX 3, Monopoly, Tomb Raider - The Angel of Darkness, Dragon Ball Z - Budokai Tenkaichi 1, Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and some Nickelodeon games. LUA patches to nop loops (50% chance of working). If that doesn't work, then seemingly nothing will. Emus such as War of the Monsters, RECVX, KOF2000, Forbidden Siren and Red Faction have a higher chance of success. Issue seems to be specific to the PS4 emu. Seemingly related to FIFO emulation.
Incorrect GIF speed Taz Wanted, The Matrix, Batman Begins, Dynasty warriors 5 Empires, others. For a fast GIF: eeObj.SchedulerDelayEvent("gif.dma", 0x10500) end). For a slow GIF, there is seemingly no solution. Some games need a fast GIF timing, and others need a slow one.
Unknown GS crashes Star Wars - Battlefront II Different combinations of GS commands.
Clamping is not PS2-perfect Surf's Up (VU1), Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Castlevania COD, others. Manually clamp values using LUA.
IOP-CDVD desync Genji - Dawn of the Samurai, Wild Arms 4, Wild Arms 5, Official Releases such as War of the Monsters and Kinetica, unofficial releases such as every Ratchet game, God of War, as well as others. LUA patches as seen in official releases. Setting iopcyclescalar to 0.38 yielded the best results, but still wrong. The least significant effect would be a restarting music track. The most significant would be a game freezing at a single image with looping audio.
IPU runs slower than the EE, causing a freeze or a crash on an FMV Bee Movie, Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness

PS2 Bios[edit | edit source]

Description[edit | edit source]

The PS2 BIOS is the file PS20220WD20050620.crack included in every PS2 game .pkg. It is the same BIOS used by Sony in PS3's ps2_netemu.self. The lack of many X modules here means that homebrew compatibility is limited, as many of those need to be recompiled to use non X versions of modules, or need to load open source versions of them through MC/CDVD. An important non X module that is missing is LIBSD, therefore, homebrews that require it will likely fail to boot, or cause an error.

This PS2 BIOS is known to blacklist some titles, and refuse to boot them. This includes all titles with the 00000000 000000A0 flag, documented here.

More about the PS2 BIOS 

The version of the PS2 BIOS seems to be the developement v2.20 from the Japanese region (22/01/2007), and is not limited to booting only NTSC-J games.
The PS2 emulator does not support USB peripherals, but this seems not to be a limitation of the BIOS, as it is used also in CECH C/E PS3 consoles. 
There are signs that different PS2 BIOS versions exist, named PS20190AC20030623_nordram_miniOSD.bin. This PS2 BIOS has included handy extensions for debugging, and can debug print with "debug osd verbosity" from CLI set to "verbose". The most noticeable difference for both BIOS files seems to be the special RDRAM module.

Whilst the PS3 patches its PS2 BIOS to preferred regions, the PS4 uses a so called CallHook which is better known for PCSX2 users as fastboot. For more information about this patch, look at PCSX2's fastboot code. It is the same code except that PS2 emulators for PS4 do not have patches for different BIOS revisions.

LOADFILE 0x46910 The RPC server for MODLOAD ELF
EECONF 0x49070 Loads part of the system configuration from the MECHACON EEPROM. Also configures and resets some peripherals, depending on the model version. In slimlines, and possibly on PS3 EECONF will also load the MAC address. ELF
- 0x49FF0 BIN
IOPBOOT 0x4A000 IOP bootup program BIN
- 0x4B160 BIN
TBIN 0x4B800 The PS1 monitor program. Seems to be the PS1 BIOS. This is started by RESET, when the IOP is in PS1 mode. BIN
XSHA1 0x59770 sha1 - this only present in PS3. It is used as additional antipiracy check. It seems that it calculate disc main elf checksum and compares it with some database. Config related? ELF
XLOADFILE 0x5A740 Updated module ELF
SIO2MAN 0x5D7F0 SIO2 manager. Provides access to the SIO2 interface. ELF
- 0x5F420 BIN
MCSERV 0x61340 RPC server for MCMAN. ELF
- 0x63040 BIN
KROMG 0x64000 BIN
- 0x65CC0 BIN

- 0x7FE70 BIN
ROMVER 0x7FF00 ROM version. BIN
- 0x7FF10 BIN
VERSTR 0x7FF30 Version string. Probably PS1 ROM will use this because that this string is also present in PlayStation consoles. BIN
- 0x7FF90 BIN
ROMGSCRT 0x80000 BIN
NCDVDMAN 0x82D30 It seems to be a heavily stripped-down CDVDMAN module, with no support for some S-command functions like sceCdRI. ELF
SECRMAN 0x8F770 Security Manager. Signing is NOT done with the one in ROM, but with a special version that comes with the utility discs. Looks like PS3 units have a different SECRMAN module from retail sets, similar to PS2 TOOL one. ELF
MCMAN 0x93C30 Memory Card Manager. ELF
PADMAN 0xA30C0 Pad manager. ELF
CDVDMAN 0xAC810 The CD/DVD manager. ELF
CDVDFSV 0xB4BC0 The RPC server for CDVDMAN. ELF
FILEIO 0xBCF80 RPC server for IOMAN. Sony has greatly changed the semantics and design of FILEIO after some point. Connecting an old FILEIO EE RPC client to a newer server will result in a severe IOP crash. ELF
CLEARSPU 0xBF080 Seems to clear/reset the SPU, but is known to cause crashes under some conditions. Not sure if it's buggy or not. Only used by the OSDSYS of the SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000, probably retained for backward-compatibility. ELF
UDNL 0xC0CC0 It is responsible for selecting the modules and starting the IOP, during the final phase of the IOP reset where the desired modules are to be loaded into the IOP. ELF

OSDSND 0xEFF60 OSD sound library. This is actually the tentative sound driver, which is called "librspu2" in the Sony SDK. ELF
PS2LOGO 0x11ABB0 Displays the PlayStation 2 logo from the inserted disc. For newer consoles, if the logo cannot be decrypted properly, it will fall back to the browser. Not actually required to boot games, but the Sony OSDSYS boots PS2 games through this program. ELF
XPARAM2 0x137500 File store per title settings for IOP emulation (XPARAM available also in real PS2 since 750XX where Deckard powerPC was introduced) ELF
OSDSYS 0x139A00 The browser BIN
PIOPRP 0x177880 Present in the PS3 ps2_(gx/soft/net)emu; contains version 3.1.0 of the IOP software (compared to version 1.3.4 on the root). BIN

Game_ID/DiscID in PS20220WD20050620.crack[edit | edit source]

There are 193 titleIDs listed inside XPARAM2.ELF file of PS2 BIOS included in PS20220WD20050620.crack. XPARAM2.ELF is called by OSDSYS, then ID check is performed. If titleID match to one of included in the table, different IOP emulation settings are applied. This include blacklisting for some specific titles. 

The original PS2 BIOS from models with emulated IOP, include a similar list file called XPARAM.ELF. The Title IDs there are not the same, although some of them exist on both lists.
