PS2 Emulation

Description

PlayStation 2 emulation on the Playstaion 4 is handled with little difference to the Playstation 3,
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.


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.

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.

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.

Emulator Configuration

Files

Emulator configuration is handled by 4 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

Known functions: Require cleanup.
The rest of the cli and lua commands can all be found inside of an emu's decrypted eboot.bin.

XXXX-YYYYY_cli.conf commands

Please note that commands listed here also work in config-emu-ps4.txt. But the official way to use them is by CLI file. The CLI file way is also needed for multi-disc packages, Some of the Commands are still not discovered, And some known commands are missing some of their values Due to them being not Discovered. The scene has named "CLI" with 3 names, including TXT, CLI, CONF. all 3 are the exact same thing.

All CLI commands are pre-made by sony, We sadly cannot create CLI commands out of thin air.
The values of the commands are also pre-defined by sony and /or have a quota for possible values/ranges

( 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.
Contrary to popular belief, These commands have absolutely no effect on performance.

Emulator Usage API Version Similar emulators (Usage) Jak Good compatibility with most ps2 games, and it has a very high api version which means more LUA commands are supported. 2.2? JakX, Jak 2, Jak 3, Parappa. RECVX Fixes Games like Jackie chan Adventures, Pac-man World 3, Yu-Gi-Oh: Capsule monsters Most likely due to the way it emulates Vector unit 1 Fatal Fury, Redfaction, AOFA. Forbidden siren The only emulator that fixed Ice age 2 being stuck at splash screen. this emu possibly has EE cache support GTA3 Fixed the pal Version of Genji: Dawn of the Samurai KOF2000 fixes graphical issues in games such as Crash Twinsanity, And prevents Koei tecmo games from suddenly freezing when battle starts, since it emulates COP2/VU1/VU0 timing much more accurately than other emulators Roguev1 and KOF98 Parappa The only emulator that was able to Boot Spyro: A Hero's Tail Redfaction It is a very good emulator to use for games that are sensitive to MTVU. it Was used to fix Tony hawk games Max payne XXXX-YYYYY_config.lua It is the most powerful Configuration on the emulator, it Allows 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 a lua. without it the lua will crash the game. Command Usage Notes apiRequest apiRequest(<api version>) example: apiRequest(0.1) 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.

Pointer can be read from GPR GetGpr64 eeObj.GetGPR64(<gpr register>) example: eeObj.GetGPR64(t3) SetGpr64 GetGprFloat Get gpr value as float value SetGprFloat Set gpr value as float value GetGpr / GetGPR eeObj.GetGPR(<gpr register>) eeObj.GetGPR(t3) SetGpr / SetGPR eeObj.SetGPR(<gpr register> ,<value>) example: eeObj.SetGPR(gpr.a3 ,1) Require defined getEEObject() as eeObj GetFprHex eeObj.GetFprHex(<FPU register (0-31)>) Get/return floating point register value as hex string SetFprHex eeObj.SetFprHex(<FPU register (0-31), value (u32)>) Set floating point register value as hex string GetFpr / GetFPR eeObj.GetFpr(<register number>) example eeObj.GetFpr(14) SetFpr / SetFPR eeObj.SetFpr(<fpr register number>, <value>) Simple example eeObj.SetFpr(14, 50.0) will set frp 14 to 50.0 But we can also combine commands to add/sub from registers eeObj.SetFpr(14, eeObj.GetFpr(14) + 50.0) this will add 50.0 to current fpr 14 value GetPc eeObj.GetPc() This command is very helpful as it will return to you the current EE address that's being read. can be used also with additional var. like eeObj.GetPc()+4 SetPc eeObj.SetPC(<PC>) eeObj.SetPC(0x266B80) GetCPR0 eeObj.GetCPR0(<COP0 register>) SetCPR0 eeObj.SetCPR0(<COP0 register>) Hooks AddHook eeObj.AddHook(<ee offset>, <original opcode>, <definied hook name>) example: local W1 = function() emuObj.SetDisplayAspectNormal() end local ws1 = eeObj.AddHook(0x1c9840, 0xaf808c78, W1) RemoveHook AddPreHook AddPostHook RemovePreHook RemovePostHook DmaAddHook DmaRemoveHook AddJitResetHook RemoveJitResetHook Speedhacks FastForwardClock eeObj.FastForwardClock() eeObj.FastForwardClock(1) Skip Emotion engine Cycles, 1 and 0 seem to be the values. AdvanceClock eeObj.AdvanceClock() Overclock Emotion Engine Speed at the hooked EE Offset, 294912 mHz is the default clock speed, if eeObj.AdvanceClock(5000) is activated the clock speed will increase to 299912 at the hooked addresses only and EE will return to normal clock speed after that. GetClock eeObj.GetClock() Get the value of EE Clock speed at Hooked EE offset, if no offset is hooked the value will be 0, This command was used by sony to make calculations to determine whether or not the EE needs to be overclocked. Vu1MpgCycles eeObj.Vu1MpgCycles(<cycles>) Works just like the cli command --vu1-mpg-cycles=, setting it to eeObj.Vu1MpgCycles(1000) would skip 50% of frames When the game enters a VU1 Heavy area and will return to normal framerate when VU1 is not being under heavy usage. Other SchedulerDelayEvent eeObj.SchedulerDelayEvent("event", cycles) Parrapa use eeObj.SchedulerDelayEvent("vif1.dma", 0x6500) other events are gif.dma, vif0.dma, vif1.dma, sif0.dma, Sif0-NormalTransfer, sif1.dma, Sif1-NormalTransfer, ipu0.dma, ipu1.dma . This command allow to delay certain DMA transfer by cycles. WaitVu1 eeObj.WaitVu1(1) most likely this is --vu1=jit-sync, Enabling it will Sync the EE with the VU1, Pcsx2 has a similar gamefix called VU Sync which syncs both VU1 and VU0 with the EE. GetPcRingBuffer Precompile CalcInsnHash getOverlayObject eeObj.getOverlayObject() Can be used to get Current EE Offset (???) local eeOverlay = eeObj.getOverlayObject() GetVif1Cycles eeObj.GetVif1Cycles() local vif1_cycles = eeObj.GetVif1Cycles() create vif_cycles value that can be used later, you can rename it as you wish.

This feature was officially used in Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits ps2-ps4 classic. To enable ps3 style config add this to config-emu-ps4.txt: --lopnor-config=1 --ps2-title-id=TITLE-ID Config file need to be in folder ...'''/patches/{TITLE-ID}/''' and file need to have name '''{TITLE-ID}_lopnor.cfgbin'''. title id need to be in XXXX-YYYYY format (ex. SLUS-12345). Example path: /patches/SLUS-12345/SLUS-12345_lopnor.cfgbin Tester confirmed that configs work like that. We don't even need to edit them, they work as is. Please keep in mind that not all commands are recognized, only 0x01 (can depend upon emu revision), 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0F, 0x10, 0x26, 0x27, 0x42. For example Rayman 3 config Does not work due to the command being unsupported Command 0x07 is NOT recognized, but can be manually translated to cli config (to: --vu-xgkick-delay=value). Same goes for 0x11 (--vu0-accurate-addsub-range can be used).

By order it goes like this: 1. Apirequest 2. Object calling, gsobj/eeobj/iopobj, etc 3. the object's command 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() Making a comment inside the lua -- You can make a comment in a lua by using two hyphens (--) -- Your comments will be ignored by the lua -- author=refraction apiRequest(0.1) local eeObj = getEEObject() local emuObj = getEmuObject() local patcher = function() eeObj.WriteMem32(0x0037EB14,0x4b000460) end emuObj.AddVsyncHook(patcher) PS2 Bios 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. Bios is know to blacklist some titles, and refuse to boot them. This include all titles with 00000000 000000A0 flag from that list (click here) More about the bios 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. Bios file information: File name: PS20220WD20050620.crack MD5: 83AD2B530C9C102A561BA1CDC6D996D5 Files inside ROM image File Offset in exported bin Description File type (exportable) RESET 0x00 Bootstrap code for the EE and IOP.

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 IGREETING 0xC2BC0 Displays boot information (i.e. IOP boot type, EBOOTP, IBOOTP, switch positions for DSW602 and the type of DSW602 board installed ELF EELOAD 0xC3C20 The EE ELF loader, which is loaded by LoadExecPS2() to 0x00082000 in PS2 for loading ELFs. BIN XCDVDMAN 0xD2DA0 cdvd_driver - Updated module ELF XCDVDFSV 0xE1B30 cdvd_ee_driver - Updated module 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 KERNEL 0x1BB7E0 The EE kernel BIN Description source: https://gist.github.com/uyjulian/25291080f083987d3f3c134f593483c5 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.
