==Compatibility Settings==
Emulator file stores compatibility settings for 898 Title IDs (as of 3.65 firmware). Additionally, settings can be supplied by title_specific.bin files. Title IDs are hidden under simple hash, which Sony borrowed from PSP POPS. That's not only similarity between two compatibility systems. Same like on POPS single config entry have 4 bytes ID and 4 bytes value, also here Sony decided to start count from -1, so config ID are in range of -1 - 0x1F. Which gives 33 possible settings per game.<br><br>

'''Warning!''' Current version of Vita Adrenaline break internal table settings and use own values in ScePspemuInitTitleSpecificInfoPatched. This is probably reasoning why some games run better outside of Adrenaline (in ARK for example). This is because adrenaline hook's function responsible for reading internal and external config table and use own code that totally skips ScePspemuInitTitleSpecificInfo. This can be fixed by removing "info" patches from titleinfo.c. But new workaround needs to be found for __sce_menu_info ID patch.

This can be easily fixed, just remove ScePspemuInitTitleSpecificInfoRef hooks.

===External Compatibility Flags===
Beside what is in internal table we can supply our own settings by '''ur0:emu_list/title_specific.bin''' file.
This file if valid, is parsed before internal table and if config for current game is found, internal table is not used. Luckily file is plain bin without any encryption or obfuscation layer. Unluckily emulator try to download new file when vita is online. This gonna need patch or plugin to disable download/overwrite, eventually we can redirect it to our own online database.
Emulator perform few checks to ensure that file is valid:
*File size need to be multiply of 0x88 + 0x10 header.
*File revision need to be 0x0A (for 3.65 emu)
*File magic need to be PSPC
New games can be added by appending entry to current file, 0x21350 is file size limit. ID Hash can be generated using [[PSP_Emulator#Title_ID_Hash_generator|Title ID Hash generator script]]
