ps1_emu vs ps1_netemu GPU emulation differences

In some cracktros (Spyro 3, Sydney 2000, NFS Porsche 2000) the GP0 command E4h (E4080200) draws the image on the wrong coordinates, causing the frozen image of the zoomed PS1 licence screen. According to this info, that command does make use of the newer 2MB VRAM GPU coordinates. Restricting the drawing area to the lower coordinates does fix the image. It looks like a lot of emulators are affected by this, either the Sony ones (ps1_emu on PS3, PS1 on PS2 hardware emulator, POPS on PSP) or the homebrew pSX 1.13. The ps1_netemu is displaying the image correctly. Does it mean the ps1_netemu emulate a different, newer GPU or just increase the emulation accuracy in general (assuming these cracktros work fine even on the oldest PSX released EDIT: I have found reports they are picky even on the original PS1 hardware too.)?

• Yes, this should fail also on old PS1 GPU. I can also confirm that PS1DRV (at least before deckard PS2 models) emulate old GPU model.

As for PS3. ps1_emu, and ps1_newemu emulate old GPU, ps1_netemu emulate new GPU at least partially. Also small tip, all emulators have pair of 2 embed SPE ELFs. One is SPU emulator, second is GPU emulator. All of them have debug symbols.

Allow non encrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT and skip signature check (RPCS3 only)

For easier config testing. Patch allow to use unencrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT so we don't need to mess with klic. Also ECDSA signature at the end of file is no longer required. So we can ftp configs as is, for faster testing. Warning! This patch break official ps1_classics.

Ps1_netemu Commands Info

External Configs

Loading external commands is be possible in ps1_netemu. From this we can also figure out that sony call those configs "ad hoc params" which can be little bit misleading. Emulator expect them inside ISO.BIN.EDAT file. Offset depend if "optional header" exist or not. Values are little endian. The offsets below are the offsets from the start of the PSISOIMG section. This data starts at absolute file offset 0x424 for single disk games that do not use a PSTITLEIMG section. For games that do have a PSTITLEIMG section, the absolute offset will be shifted by 0x400 bytes, i.e. to offset 0x824 and similar.

• Offset 0x424 Config revision in bcd format, that need to be higher than DB from emu (11624 for 4.86). Safe to use 0x200000.
• Offset 0x42C first config command
• Offset 0x430 param for first command
• This repeats 8 times as only 8 commands is supported.
• Command 2 is unsupported.
• Command 0 is unsupported because $ony made mistake in parser.
• Command 0x17 is supported, but there is different official way to inject it, and it is libcrypt key so there is no point to do it this way.

This probably repeats for multidiscs, but for now let's figure out single discs first.
Function that search for configs look like this:

case 9:
  if ( *(&0x161FD80) ) 1570FA0(base) + AEDE0(offset in ISO.BIN.DAT or PSISOIMG? ) = 161FD80 in 4.86 ps1_netemu
  {
    cfg_rev = get_cfg_rev_from_PSIMG();
    db_rev = get_titledb_rev();
    decimal_16 = ret_32() >> 1;
    tty_print("ad hoc param: %x <%x>\n", cfg_rev, db_rev);
    if ( decimal_16 )
    {
      low_rev = cfg_rev < db_rev;           // Check is opposite to ps2_netemu, only config version higher than included db will pass. 
                                            // Which mean config need to be higher version than emu database. 
      for ( i = 0; i < decimal_16; i += 2 ) // up to 8 configs supported (8 commands + 8 values)
      {
        cfg_command = read_cfg_from_PSIMG(i);
        _cfg_value = read_cfg_from_PSIMG(i + 1);
        if ( cfg_command - 1 <= 0x3B )      // max cfg nr 0x3C
        {
          v245 = cfg_command >> 28;         // Most likely check for wrong endianess. Configs are LE and are byte reversed before we end up here. 
          if ( low_rev || v245 || cfg_command == 2 )// cfg 2 unsupported (replaced in later PSIMG rev with subchannel data), or old config rev, or v245.
          {
            tty_print("%x: %2d=0x%08x ***\n", v245 & 0xF, cfg_command, _cfg_value); // Ignore cfg
          }
          else
          {
            cfg_value = _cfg_value;
            tty_print("%x: %2d=0x%08x\n", 0LL, cfg_command, _cfg_value);
            WriteInternalConfigValue(cfg_command, cfg_value);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

Command IDs mapping

The command IDs differs in between the PS1 emulator types and versions because are an indirect ID, it seems every command ID is mapped to a static ID in a separated table
The command ID's varies in between firmware versions, most probably because new functions was added every few versions, reorganized, etc... and this changes created a "displacement" of the old commands that causes them to increase his ID
At the time of writing this we dont know how to map that variable ID's to an static ID (that could be valid for all firmware versions), so by now in this list is needed to indicate the firmware version where the command ID was found
Coincidentially there are a few commands that preserves his ID in between emulator types and revisions, most probably is because are the first commands implemented and the variable ID given to them is a very low value, so always was kept at a low position in the commands list and was not disturbed by the modifications made to the other commands.

Command 0x00 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

• Valid values found
  • 0 = ? (used by SCPS-18011 Um Jammer Lammy, and SLPS-01818 Langrisser IV & V Final Edition [Disc1of2])

In Um Jammer Lammy is used together with command 0x13, so it was a bit doubtful if it was a mistake. But Langrisser IV & V Final Edition [Disc1of2] uses it too and is the only command used by this disc, so it "should" do something. Um Jammer Lammy in netemu 3.40 was fixed only with command 0x0/0x0 (id/data)

• Um Jammer Lammy (SCPS-18011) uses somewhat new external config revision (11580) in official classic's external config, but only uses command 0x13. Keep in mind the game was released Febuary 27, 2008, so package was possibly updated with new config at some point, and then in internal table, so maybe it once had a different config command in config table and 0x00 nullified it. Langrisser IV (SLPS-01818) has old config revision (5713) and uses command 0x03 set to 0x3E8, so just default. Maybe internal config for Langrisser IV is empty config just to also nullify external config? --Mrjaredbeta (talk) 03:32, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

Command 0x01 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

• Valid values found
  • 1 = ? (used by SLPS_004.16, SLUS_004.33)
  • 2 = ? (used by SLPM_865.49, SLPM_865.50, SLPS_017.16)

Command 0x02 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

There are only 3 games using this command and are libcrypt protected games:, Crash Team Racing (SCES-02105), MediEvil (SCES-00311), and Vagrant Story (SLES-02754)
The command data contains an offset that points to an area where are stored a list of sectors (4 bytes each). When the emulator starts reading the list it doesnt knows how long is it so it reads groups of 4 bytes consecutivelly until it finds the value 00000000 that works as a terminator, the presence of this terminator at the end of the sector list is mandatory. Worth to note that list is more extensive than redump libcrypt one, but they match to some extend. Probably redump store only sectors really needed to run game correctly, while Sony decided to keep them all. Command is used only with LC1 games (Redump is wrong about medievil, is LC1).
The libcrypt protection is related with subchannel data stored by sectors, in redump.org this data is managed with the SBI files, displayed in a hexeditor view in each specific game page. If we convert the data from the official format to decimal and we compare it with the sector numbers in the redump.org SBI file it can be seen all the libcrypt protected sectors from the SBI file are included in the official format
The official format seems to include a lot more sectors which purpose is unknown
There seems to be way to supply that data/command from external file. Some research by "Fedor Wearing A Fedora" here and here

• Valid values found: 0x32 (50d), 0xC8 (200d), 0x12C (300d), 0x1F4 (500d), 0x258 (600d), 0x2BC (700d), 0x320 (800d), 0x384 (900d), 0x44C (1100d), 0x4B0 (1200d), 0x578 (1400d), 0x5DC (1500d), 0x708 (1800d)
  
• Default value: 0x3E8
• _xcdrom_thread related.

Value is integer that is later converted to double float using fcfid, and truncated to single precision by frsp.
I'm not familiar with CELL floating point unit quirks, but value could be just single precision float from the start, why complicate that so much?

• Possible disc read speed delay or adjustment. Larger value results in slower loading times. --Mrjaredbeta (talk) 03:21, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

Custom Usage:

• Param 0x384 (900d) fixes Vampire Hunter D (SLUS-01138) hanging issues.
• Param 0x1F4 (500d) fixes Medievil 2 audio and hanging issues.

Command 0x04 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• _xcdrom_thread related.

Possible seek delay/adjustment.
Custom Usage:

• Param 0x64 and above fixes Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (SLUS-01160). 0x14 also gets past initial main menu screen, but hangs when loading into a stage. Param 0xC8 is probably safest.

Command 0x05 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

The game configs inside ps1_netemu.self 3.40 doesnt seems to use this command, so is not posible to see if it matches in between 3.40 and 3.55/4.88 but we can assume is the same ID through netemu 3.40 up to 4.88 because higher command IDs (such 0x08) maintained his ID since 3.40

• Default value: 0
• _xcdrom_thread related.

Command 0x06 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• _xcdrom_thread related.

Custom Usage:

Custom Usage:

• Param 0x01 fixes Fear Effect (SLUS-00920) other issues in main menu, such as graphical corruption in options screens, and returning to options screen after viewing credits.

Command 0x08 (netemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

• Valid values found: 0xC8 (200d), 0x12C (300d), 0x1F4 (500d), 0x2BC (700d), 0x320 (800d). It seems to be an small selection of the same values used by command 0x03
• Default value: 0x3E8
• _xcdrom_thread related.

Command 0x0B (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Or command 0x09 (netemu 3.40)
• Valid values found: 0x27104E95 (in netemu 3.40 and 4.88). It seems to be composed by 2 values of 2 bytes size: 0x2710(hex)=10000(dec). And 0x4E95(hex)=20117(dec)

The command data seems to be a bit special, is a value higher than any other command, but is the same value along different ps1_netemu.self revisions, so is not an offset. There is only one game using this command: SLPS_030.12

Command 0x0E (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

Command 0x13 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• MDEC related?

Custom Usage:

• Param 0x01 fixes Roland Garros French Open 2001 (SLES-03449) hang when loading into a match.

Custom Usage:

• Param 0x32 is enough to fix International Superstar Soccer (SLES-02550) black screen after PlayStation logo.
• Param 0x08 is enough to fix Vampire Hunter D’s main menu flashing.

Command 0x17 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Or command 0x0B (netemu 1.70)
• Or command 0x0A (netemu 2.10)
• Or command 0x15 (netemu 3.40 up to 3.55)

• Or command 0x07 (newemu 2.10)
• Or command 0x0A (newemu 3.40 up to 4.88)

This is the libcrypt magic word. This command is used only in 3 games (SCES_016.95, SLES_019.07, SLES_013.01). see: PS1 Custom Patches In ps1_netemu there is possibility to setup that command from one of ps1 classic files (PSISOIMG0000 / PSTITLEIMG000000 related).

When value is not zero is returned by emulator when game try to read cop0r3 (BPC) register. When value is 0 (default), emulator return real BPC content.

• It seems there is a problem with LC games using the third scheme mentioned here. After reading the data contents of subchannel Q, the CRC-16 value is not read at all, but calculated on its own by the driver instead. It does break LC games using this particular scheme (web-found confirmed issues with Ape Escape and Final Fantasy VIII). All three games that are meant to work with this command does use these LC sectors. I think this command was meant to resolve this issue, just a guess.--Agrippa (talk) 20:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Command 0x18 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

Substrat cycles from mdec_block_copy_out_callback delta. When mdec is decoding blocks, copy out happen on every completed 6th block. This is hardcoded to take 0xB00 (2816) cycles in ps1_netemu. By using this config we can make this value less than default, which in turn "overclock" mdec decoding as every 6xblock will be decoded faster. Duckstation by default use value 0xA80 (2688 (448 x 6 blocks)). So to make config that will replicate this behavior we need set config value to 0x80 (0xB00 - 0x80 = 0xA80).

• Default value: 0
• Valid values range: 0x000 - 0xB00
• Higher values are ignored and 0 is set (just like when you use 0xB00 value), making MDEC instant.

Command 0x19 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 4
• Set in same place where bios image is loaded, and region check/patch is performed.

Command 0x1A (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

Set PS1 PS1 Scratchpad address 0x1F800000 - 0x1F8003FF to given 4 bytes value. Only one game use this, game seems to expect memory initialized to 0xFFFFFFFF, while never do this.

• Default value: 0

Command 0x1B (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0x3E8

Multiplier for GTE commands cycles. Value from config is multiplied by 256, and then divided by 1000.
For example Battle Arena Toshinden use 0xC8 which result in 0x33(51) as value that is later used.
Default value 0x3E8 end as 0x100(256).

Command 0x1C (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Or command 0x18 (netemu 3.40)
• Or command 0x1A (netemu 3.55 ?)
• Or command 0x02 (netemu 1.70) - possibly different command

Param flags:

• 1 = unk.
• 2 = Set Vibration to Off (menu to set it to On is still accessible, but command seems to also skip initializing of vibration internal struct/settings).

Command 0x1D (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• Correct values 0 / 1 / 2

Config seems to setup default gamepads layout for multitap.

• 0 = <0, 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5, 7>
• 1 = <0, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7>
• 2 = <0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7>

Sync order of controllers is always the same regardless of parameter set (1/1-A, 2/2-A, 1-B, 2-B, 1-C, 2-C, 1-D). Therefore, change is only reflected internally in emulated game. For example, Crash Bash needs parameter 2 for controllers to be set properly in game, but order in which controllers physically connect is not changed.

Command 0x1E (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0x7D0
• xPadThread related.

Command 0x20 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

GPU multi command (bifield)

• Default value: 0
• 0x08 = Always set Vertical Interlace bit in GPUSTAT to 0 on GP1 (08h) command.
• 0x40 = Is not exactly known what happen under the hood, but this command allow to play 50Hz titles in 60Hz with correct speed.

Command 0x21 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0x3E8
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x22 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0x3E8
• PS1 GPU related.

Seems to fix slowdown in Rapid Racer (SCPS-10060) with value 0x320.

Command 0x23 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0x3E8
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x24 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 7
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x25 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x2A (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x2B (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x2C (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x2D (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 0
• PS1 GPU related.

Command 0x31 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

GPU multi command (bitfield)

• 0x02 = Enable Vertical Interlace bit in GP1 (08h) command in SPE writes (in renderer only). Emulator by default use hack where VI bit is ALWAYS disabled in spe.

Note from nocash docs about Vertical Interlace: "Interlace must be enabled to see all lines in 480-lines mode (interlace is causing ugly flickering, so a non-interlaced low resolution image is typically having better quality than a high resolution interlaced image, a pretty bad example are the intro screens shown by the BIOS)."
This suggest that games which eventually need 0x31, 0x02 will be ones that send GP1 commands with active bit 2(Vertical Resolution 1=480) and 5(Vertical Interlace) at the same time. Otherwise image will be cropped, or badly interlaced. FF8 use this on "Published by..." screen, you can notice weird interlacing when subtitles fade-in without command.

Command 0x32 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

Pad vibration related, seems to be big motor strength used in cellPadSetActDirect if value is less than one of function arguments. Default value set in xPadThread Init is 0x40(64).

Command 0x33 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

Value is integer that is later converted to double float using fcfid, and truncated to single precision by frsp.
Pad vibration related, seems to be used to calculate big motor strength used later in cellPadSetActDirect, if other conditions are met. Default value set in xPadThread Init is 0x4B0(1200).

Command 0x36 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Maximum value 7
• PSX HW regs access related
• Valid values found:
  • 1 = ?
  • 2 = ?
  • 4 = ?

Multiple instances accepted, and not overwrite itself.

Command 0x37 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Default value: 1
• Valid values found:
  • 2 = ?
  • 4 = ?

Something related to I_STAT (PSX Interrupt status register).

Command 0x38 (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

• Or command 0x2C in ps1_netemu.self 3.40
• Or command 0x2E in ps1_netemu.self 3.55 ?
• Valid values found:
  • 0/1/2/3

if (cfg == 0) 
    stay_netemu

if (boot_not_from_disc_drive)

if (boot_from_disc_drive)
    if (cfg & 1)
        boot_ps1emu
    else
        stay_netemu

// Boot is considered to be from disc if argv with game path is empty. Which make 0x38 with param 0x01 inaccessible, because there is no way to start disc game with netemu in official way (excluding games that ps1_emu launch with 0x15 cmd to ps1_netemu).

Command 0x3B (netemu 4.83 up to 4.88)

PS1 SPU DMA related config. Seems to change some cycles calculation.

• Default value: 0
• Valid values: 0/1

Ps1_emu Commands Info

Supposed to launch game using different emulator, but all paths do nothing.

• Valid values found:
  • 3 (Do nothing, but with print! 1)
  • Different values do nothing

Known bugs

ps1_netemu.elf

Cdr int reads with nonstandard index

Emulator ignore interrupt flag register and interrupt enable register reads if cdrom index is 2, or 3. Reads like that are undocummented behavior, but confirmed to be successful on real hardware. Also Nocash docs, and Duckstation source handle that correctly, and i remember there are games which used that.

0xD81F0 read_0x1F801803:
0xD81F0   lwz       r0, (.1F801800 - 0x2E8480)(r8)
0xD81F4   clrlwi    r0, r0, 30        # cdrom.index & 3
0xD81F8   cmpwi     cr7, r0, 0        # cdrom.index = 0
0xD81FC   beq       cr7, read_interrupt_enable_register
0xD8200   cmpwi     cr7, r0, 1        # cdrom.index = 1
0xD8204   beq       cr7, read_interrupt_flag_register
0xD8208   li        r3, 0             # return 0 if index was 2 or 3
0xD820C   lwz       r7, off_1BC0D4
0xD8210   clrldi    r3, r3, 32
0xD8214   dcbt      0, r7
0xD8218   blr

This can be fixed by simple patch from

0xD81F4   clrlwi    r0, r0, 30  #hex 54 00 07 BE
0xD8264   clrlwi    r0, r0, 30  #hex 54 00 07 BE

to

0xD81F4   clrlwi    r0, r0, 31  #hex 54 00 07 FE
0xD8264   clrlwi    r0, r0, 31  #hex 54 00 07 FE

This change cdrom.index & 3, into cdrom.index & 1. This way index 2, and 3 will be respected as 0, and 1. Sadly there is no easy hex pattern, so patch need to be done manually. Memory offsets for 4.86.

Bad encoding of malformed conditional branch 0

Emulator don't ignore few bits, and expect they are 0. While real hardware seems to don't care about them.

  31..26 |25..21|20..16|15..11|10..6 |  5..0  |
   6bit  | 5bit | 5bit | 5bit | 5bit |  6bit  |
  -------+------+------+------+------+--------+------------
  000001 | rs   | 0XXX0| <--immediate16bit--> | bltz
  000001 | rs   | 0XXX1| <--immediate16bit--> | bgez
  000001 | rs   | 1XXX0| <--immediate16bit--> | bltzal
  000001 | rs   | 1XXX1| <--immediate16bit--> | bgezal

Problem start when bits 17,18,19 are not zero. Emulator don't clear those bits, and explicitly check only for 0x0,0x1,0x10,0x11.

r24 hold 20..16 bits extracted from opcode.

0x107958 bcondz_107958:                          # CODE XREF: r3000_opcode_table+12C↑j
0x107958                 cmpwi     cr7, r24, 1   # jumptable 001067D4 case BcondZ
0x10795C                 beq       cr7, loc_107E98
0x107960                 cmplwi    cr7, r24, 1
0x107964                 blt       cr7, loc_107E78
0x107968                 cmpwi     cr7, r24, 0x10
0x10796C                 beq       cr7, loc_1082A4
0x107970                 cmpwi     cr7, r24, 0x11
0x107974                 beq       cr7, loc_10821C

Correct solution here will be patch to AND r24 with 0x11 first, to clear meaningless bits before comparison. This is reason why emulator fail this "Branch Advance" CPU test: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PS1_Tests#CPU . Possibly standard "Branch" test is failed for the same reason.
