Description

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

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.

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,
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, it fixes many games requiring OPL's mode 2. Often referred to as "RECVX"	1.7	Fatal Fury, 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 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' crashing.	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

The PS2 emulator can be configured through 4 files.

Files

• 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

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

All functions for 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D must be redirected to ports on multi-tap 1 by using memory patches.	--mtap2=always

XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf commands

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.

EmotionEngine (MIPS-IV)

EE

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: 5.00 Normal cycles speed: 1.000 Fastest cycles speed: 0.100	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. (Dividing 100 with the entered value is how to find what EE clock speed percentage % the value is setting. For example, 100/5.00 = 20%)	--ee-cycle-scalar=1.0
--ee-context-switch-cycles	Exclusive	Accelerate cycles (360 => 0) Decelerate cycles (361 => ∞ )	4 Bytes	Its effects are mysterious. Possibly configures how many CPU cycles the emulator should run before switching between different tasks or threads. 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.	--ee-context-switch-cycles=2700?
--ee-hook	Variable	AdvanceClock FastForwardClock Mfifodrain	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. 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. Advanceclock usage example: 0x0 nop <-- Advancelock can work here on old emulators 0x4 beq zero,v1,0x0 <-- Advancelock cannot work here 0x8 nop <-- Advancelock cannot work here 0x10 nop <-- Advancelock can work here on both old and new emulators. Mfifodrain is still unknown.	--ee-hook=0x0025A9F2,AdvanceClock,,500 --ee-hook=0x0019F0AD,FastForwardClock

FPU

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.

Command	Emulator Support	Values	Value Type	Notes	Usage
			Game fixes
--fpu-no-clamping	Universal	0, 1	Binary	Changes the clamping behavior of the FPU. It's set to 1 by default. Might fix freezing issues, or misplaced characters/items (Inaccuracies with in-game physics)	--fpu-no-clamping=0

Vector Units (VU)

VU

Custom DSPs used to process vertex data, physics calculations, and other related tasks. Settings found here affect VU1, VU0, and COP2. They fix broken or missing geometry, black screens, and crashes.

Command	Emulator Support	Values	Value Type	Notes	Usage
			Graphical fixes
--vu-xgkick-delay	Universal	Limit is between (0 => 31)	1 Byte	Delay xgkick instruction execution. PCSX2 uses 6 cycles, PS3 uses 2-8 cycles depending on the game. A game with missing graphics will require a low value such as 0, while one that crashes might require a high value such as 7.	--vu-xgkick-delay=8
--vu-custom-min-max	Universal	0, 1	Binary	Custom Max/Mini logic for denormals. Disabled on pcsx2 by default but enabled by default on a couple of emus such as jakv2. Disabling it could potentially restore missing graphics, as it tends to adjust VU timing.	--vu-custom-min-max=0
			Game fixes
--vu-hack-triace	Universal	0, 1	Binary	A hack designed specifically for games developed by Tri Ace. Corrects the VU's addi calculation. Without it, the result will be one bit off, which is enough to break the game's decryption algo.	--vu-hack-triace=1
--vu-branch-hazard	Universal	0, 1	Binary	This command relates to how the emulator handles branch hazards in the Vector Units (VU). Setting it to 0 might fix freezes at the expense of causing SPS in some games, while 1 might improve performance. Seems to be enabled by default. Disabling it prevented "Batman - Rise of Sin Tzu" from crashing	--vu-branch-hazard=0
--vu-evil-branches	Universal	0, 1	Binary	Take in count branch in delay slot, or not. Set to 1 for the correct behavior. More Info	--vu-evil-branches=1

VU1

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. 100 is the default value. If VU1 requirements were a bottleneck, increasing it will result in better performance while decreasing it will result in the opposite. As a side note, increasing it can benefit MTVU-sensitive games.	--vu1-mpg-cycles=1000 Symbols (They change values close to VU1-mpg-cycles' offset): $ 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	0, 1	Binary	0 Skips setting invalid, and Divides by zero flags in status register. A speedhack that vastly improves performance; it can skip costly calculations. But at the same time, it can cause issues such as broken geometry.	--vu1-di-bits=0

VU0

VU0 is the Emotion Engine’s alternate processing unit. It is sometimes referred to as "micro-mode". Commands here prevent crashes, and fix SPS (graphical glitches). Most of these commands can not be used in old emulators. Jak emulators, however, all work with them.

Command	Emulator Support	Values	Value Type	Notes	Usage
		Speedhacks
--vu0-mpg-cycles	Exclusive	1 - 65535	2 Bytes	Set initial cycle speed for VU0 Micro-programs. 100 is the default value. It is not available in older emulators such as War of the Monsters. Raising the value helps COP2 timing, while lowering does the opposite.	--vu0-mpg-cycles=1000 Symbols (They change values close to VU0-mpg-cycles' offset): $ goes to the specified succeeding offsets. $0 will go 2 bytes forward and changes them. $1 will go 4 bytes forward and changes 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 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.
--vu0-di-bits	Universal	0, 1	Binary	0 to skip setting invalid, and Div by zero flags in status register. Can be used as speedhack as it skips costly calculations, but at the same time can cause issues like broken geometry, and weird physics behavior. Depending per game.	--vu0-di-bits=0

--vu0-no-clamping	Universal	0,1	Binary	Changes the clamping behavior of the VU0. Setting specific to ps4 emulators, unimplemented in pcsx2. The default emulator's value is 1.	--vu0-no-clamping=0
--vu0-accurate-addsub-range	Exclusive	offset (0x0 - 0x200)	Hex combination	Allows the VU0 to accurately Add/Subtract in the specified memory range by using software floats rather than hardware floats. Strangely, it rejects offsets higher than 0x200.
--vu0-mul0fix-range	Exclusive	vu0 memory offset start,end (0x0 - 0x200)	Hex combination	Allows the VU0 to accurately Multiply by 0 in the specified memory range by using software floats rather than hardware floats. Strangely, it rejects offsets higher than 0x200.

DMA Channels

VIF

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
--vif-thread-chunk-size	Exclusive	0, 1024	2 Bytes	Slows down both VIFS the lower it is, and speeds them up the higher it is. 1024 is the limit, with 112 being the default value.	--vif-thread-chunk-size=100
--detect-idle-vif	Universal	0, 1	Binary	Enabled by default. Unknown function	--detect-idle-vif=0
			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 timing. 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.	--vif1-instant-xfer=0

SIF

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.

Command	Emulator Support	Values	Value Type	Notes	Usage
				SIF1 (IOP)
--iop-sif1-cycle-scalar	Exclusive	Accelerate SIF cycles: (0.99 => 0.1) Decelerate SIF cycles: (1.1 => ∞ )	Float	Controls the speed at which the IOP receives from the EE	--iop-sif1-cycle-scalar=0.1

IOP

The emulated I/O Processor (IOP) settings. Commands here are rarely useful, as very few games will require them. The IOP controls the emulated DEV9, SPU2, USB, Memory cards, CDVD, Firewire, along with other input/output devices

Command	Emulator Support	Values	Value Type	Notes	Usage
		Game fixes
--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-tight-slice-count	Exclusive	Fastest = 0 Default = 8 Slowest=65534	4 Bytes	Seems to slow down the iop the higher the value. Can be used to fix CDVD timing issues.	--iop-tight-slice-count=12
--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.	--iop-hook=0x0086ac,FastForwardClock

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
		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

--pcr0-delta-hack	0 Default=1.0 400000.0	A scalar that modifies delta of pcr0 when reading it from MFC0. Some games rely on good performance counters accuracy (Spyro ANB cutscenes), and since emulator don't implement most events, hack it is.	--pcr0-delta-hack=1.0
--jitproc-use-aslr		Disables compiler process ASLR, useful for easier debugging, as the compiler process will be always on fixed address. Theoretically useful for mast1c0re, but to change it you need to be already in...	--jitproc-use-aslr=0

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

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.

SetFrameSkipping	gsObj.SetFrameSkipping(true)	false and true are the values.
SetDeinterlaceShift	gsObj.SetDeinterlaceShift(0)	The values are 1 and 0, Enable or disable interlacing, requires emulators with high api

Does not require object calling or unknown

Command	Usage	Notes
eeInsnReplace	eeInsnReplace(EE memory offset, Original opcode (BE), Replace opcode (BE))	Replace 4 bytes opcode in ee memory, correct memory range is 0x0 to 0x1FFFFFFF
vuInsnReplace	vuInsnReplace(vu 0/1, vu memory offset divided by 8, (original opcode<<32) | original opcode, (replace opcode<<32) | replace opcode)	Replace 2 x 4 bytes in VU memory, correct memory range depend on selected VU, left shift by 32 is used for VU lower opcodes. Command will fail if size is above 254. example: vuInsnReplace(0, 0x167, (0x000002ff << 32) | 0x520507ff,(0x000002ff << 32) | 0x8000033c) Replace 64 bits of VU0 at offset 0xB38
iopInsnReplace	iopInsnReplace(IOP memory offset, Original opcode, opcode replacement)	Replace 4 bytes in iop memory, correct memory range is 0x0 to 0x1FFFFF, iopInsnReplace(0x1FFFFF, 0x0, 0x0803fff0)
eeNativeFunction	eeNativeFunction(<ee offset>, <original opcode>, <function>)	eeNativeFunction(0x11fa9c, 0x0080402d, 'memcpy') Different emulators can have different functions included, vide SO3. Require api 1.4 or higher. But functions from this list should be available in every emu: 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

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

"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

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).

Known issues

Issue	Games affected	Solution	Description
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
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 IOP issues	Genji - Dawn of the Samurai, Wild Arms 4	A number of issues can be at play here; IOP's cycle speed, for example, is 2x overclocked, CDVD's read speed and the SIF's speed are unknown.
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, 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 Using CLI'S vif1-instant-xfer command	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.

PS2 Bios

Description

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.

Game_ID/DiscID in PS20220WD20050620.crack

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.
