     3 = Force NTSC timings. While this setting should only affect PAL releases, sony for some reason used it also on 5 NTSC releases.

         FUTURE COP L.A.P.D, NUCLEAR SRTIKE, SOVIET STRIKE, VIB RIBBON and WING COMMANDER IV. This could be simply copy paste error from PAL releases (NUCLEAR STRIKE's config is copied over from SOVIET STRIKE). Use only in conjunction with command 0x0B, otherwise no image is displayed.

     8 = Spu reverb related setting.
     8 = Spu reverb related setting.
     9 = Spu dma related setting. Return 1 instead of transferred size. Probably hack to make SPU DMA chunk transfer to always take 1 cycle.
     9 = Spu dma related setting.
   10 = Cdrom Play cmd related, active only when cdr mode REPORT bit is enabled.
   10 = Cdrom related, when enabled seems to update msf/lba more frequently.
   12 = While this bit is used in Timers event related function, it's really affecting SPU code. When bit is active SPU related internal counters are not updated.
   12 = Counters/timers related setting.
        Worth to add that mentioned SPU counters are also not updated if currently checked Timer counter is 0x4000 or lower at this point,
        but are updated for example on applying volume by cdr register write... Seems to be very specific hack.
   13 = Cdrom related setting. When enabled max_disc_lba_without_lead_out is used instead of second_track_lba in one function.
   13 = Cdrom related setting. When enabled max_disc_lba_without_lead_out is used instead of second_track_lba in one function.
        This config practically does what cdda enabler plugin did, same branch that is patched by cdda enabler is forced to be true here.
        Warning! This bit is patched to be ALWAYS ENABLED for custom eboots in Vita Adrenaline. This is bad idea and can affect compatibility.
   15 = Allows discs to be swapped when game didn't request to change ps1 gpu drawing parameters for long enough (60x this check).

   17 = Used in MDEC related functions.  
  18 = Load/Store opcodes related. When other conditions are met, skips some code.
  19 = Skip great chunk of code in Load/Store opcodes emitter, but only if rs is 29 (when load/store use stack pointer as base address).
   20 = Use second nBuf in sceCtrlPeekBufferNegative instead of first one and change controller sampling cycles from 0 to 8341 in sceCtrlSetSamplingCycle.
   20 = Use second nBuf in sceCtrlPeekBufferNegative instead of first one and change controller sampling cycles from 0 to 8341 in sceCtrlSetSamplingCycle.

| 0x01 || No || Set minimal "Y2" drawing area. This setting overrides what game set in GP0(E4h) command (Set Drawing Area bottom Y2 coordinate). Setting is used only when given value is lower than what game originally sends. In simple words, this work as a crop for the bottom of drawing area. ''Warning! This setting can have bad effect when copied straight from PAL to NTSC game and vice versa.''

| 0x04 || Yes || This config is multi-command for cdrom behavior. Value is bitfield, but not usual one. This config default value is 0xFFFFFFFF, to "enable" bits we need to really disable them. Windows programmer mode calculator in dword mode should shed some light here. To see enabled bits just use NOT operator. Vita use 3 additional (10/11/12) bits not available on PSP.

    0 = Used in function which perform seek to sector.
     2 = Used in cdr Pause command. When enabled something takes 6 times more cycles than normally. Seems to be related to motor stop timing, maybe how long it takes on idle before motor is stopped?
    1 = Used in function which perform seek to sector. When enabled fast seek takes 3 times more cycles, and slow seek takes 8 times more cycles.

    4 = Used in function which perform seek to sector. Seems to force seek time to take no longer than 1185408 cycles.
    5 = Used in function which perform seek to sector.
    6 = Used in Read commands. Enabled adds 5419008 cycles, but only if there is no pending setloc. 
    7 = Used in Setmode cdr command. When new bits of mode register request speed change and motor is on,
        unknown event (likely speed change) will take 10000 instead of 33868800 cycles.

         Hard to tell what purpose of that is, none of open-source emulators use something similar in their code.

| 0x15 || No || Set shell open for little longer during disc swap. Some games take a while to realize that shell is opened, this setting helps them. Value is multiplier for predefined value, 1 is taking around 3,5 seconds, 2 around 7 seconds, etc.
