First of all, I apologize in advance if this topic is misplaced in this forum, I did not really know where to post it but I consider that this can be a valuable contribution here, mainly for playing the listed games on PPSSPP.

Introduction.

100% perfect emulation is practically impossible to achieve for every game available for an emulated system, even in old consoles with much more simple hardware where cycle accurate emulation is targeted, there will always be some games that may not work exactly like they should in one way or another.

The use of game specific hacks in emulators is considered bad practice and they are generally avoided by developers, but sometimes a game can not be played at all without using them or we just want to play them in the best way possible. This is why we need hacks, at least until the real emulation problems are discovered and subsequently fixed in case of accuracy issues.

On the other hand, some games have oddities imposed by its developers that were never addressed and that are not only affecting its emulation behavior, but how they run in real hardware too.

This first post includes a list with random hacks/fixes/cheats to improve the gameplay experience of some problematic PSP games for PPSSPP, and also some other fixes intended for both emulators and real hardware (PSP/PSVita).

The third post, THIS ONE, includes a list with right analog support patches posted in regular CW Cheat format; these can be used with PSVita/PSTV and PPSSPP.

Understanding when and how to use these cheats.

*[PSP / PSVita / PPSSPP]*
The cheats on this thread can be used with PSP, PSVita and PPSSPP, but using some of them on a different platform other than the one it is actually needed to fix something can and will break things.

Every listed cheat will have the above platform colored line to clarify wherever it should be used or not:
- Green color means that a cheat will fix something or enhance the gameplay experience on that platform and it can/should/must be used on it.
- Black color means that a cheat has very little or no apparent effect on that platform, so to be safe it may be the best to just not use it there.
- Red color means that a cheat will cause problems while using it on that platform, so don't use it there.

*[TempAR / CW Cheats]*
Some of the cheats available here for use with a real PSP or PSVita MUST be used with TempAR and not with CW Cheats.

This is because TempAR starts writing the cheats exactly when the games start to run at boot when setting the execution line as _C2, which is totally needed when an initial game code needs to be patched before it is executed by the PSP; while CW cheats has a big delay of time before it start to automatically write the cheats to the game and can't be used for cheats with early execution on a game.

If a cheat device/plugin is not specified, then you can use any of them. Beware that setting the execution line as _C2 will make PPSSPP to not list that specific cheat in its cheats menu. If this happens, change it to _C1.

As an extra note, I've experienced game crashes while enabling large cheats (60+ lines) with CW Cheats, while the same cheats are working without problems when using TempAR.

7th Dragon 2020.

_L 0x201C6AD4 0x10400006

_L 0x201C6B9C 0x52020062

Details: The untouched/clean japanese game has its data encrypted as PGD files, but in order to translate it they were decrypted. The English translated/patched game has the files decrypted, but the game code is trying to read them as if they were still encrypted.

For some reason this is not a problem for a real PSP (and PPSSPP) where it runs without problems, but for PSVita (using Adrenaline) this causes the game to be stuck in a bootloop.

This cheat forces this game to load its files in decrypted mode, but this is a common problem for PSVita with every translated PSP game that uses PGD encrypted files.

Details: On PPSSPP, this game gets stuck on the initial memory stick checking screen (see HERE for more details). A hack to fix this was recently implemented within the emulator code, but even while using the latest PPSSPP builds from the buildbot, my game was still freezing at that same screen.

This cheat is a more efficient hack to fix it, and the same EUR version cheat above should work for every EUR release with different languages because all of them seem to have the same BIN file with only very minor changes.

_L 0xE0010000 0x00401E1C

_L 0x20401E1C 0x00000001

Details: The game shows random graphic glitches on PPSSPP that kinda render the game unplayable considering how intrusive they are while ingame. See HERE for pictures and more details from the devs.

To be honest, I'm not totally sure why this cheat fixes this issue because I found it by accident, but when testing it with a real PSP it makes the game to not render some things: the floor around the player, some edges of buildings and some other game effects.

Fortunately, thhe previous negative side effects of the cheat are not present on PPSSPP so this fixes the graphic glitches and it even increases the performance by a little bit. But keep in mind, this cheat actually disables water/ocean animations; not a big deal because you can't even use boats or swim in this game.

- Better performance cheats. [PSP / PSVita / PPSSPP]

Details: This game has serious performance problems by default, but not because PPSSPP is inefficient on how it handles the game, it's the actual game code that does some inefficient things. The following cheats can be used together to get even higher performance, with the exception of Better performance 3 along with 30FPS cheat, these can not be used together because they use the same RAM address.

ULUS10235.ini

Code:

_S ULUS-10235

_G Driver 76 [USA]

_C0 Better performance 1 ON

_L 0x202FFB10 0x34050000

_C0 Better performance 1 OFF [Default]

_L 0x202FFB10 0x34050001

ULES00740.ini

Code:

_S ULES-00740

_G Driver 76 [EUR]

_C0 Better performance 1 ON

_L 0x202FFBF4 0x34050000

_C0 Better performance 1 OFF [Default]

_L 0x202FFBF4 0x34050001

Cheat 1: The game uses the PSP function sceGeListSync in check and return mode (1 as parameter), that means it will constantly check the same block of code over and over thousands of times every single frame. This behavior gives a massive loss in performance on PPSSPP and even on real PSP/PSVita consoles.

This cheat changes the parameter to wait for completion mode (0 as parameter) so the function runs once every frame; you can expect more than 62% increase in performance by using this cheat and also fixes the multithreaded option on PPSSPP (no more stuttering), which you can use for further performance gains. You may have to enable/disable the cheat a couple of times on PPSSPP cheat menu for it to work.

ULUS10235.ini

Code:

_S ULUS-10235

_G Driver 76 [USA]

_C0 Better performance 2 ON

_L 0x201CED04 0xAE000010

_C0 Better performance 2 OFF [Default]

_L 0x201CED04 0xAE050010

Cheat 2: The game renders too much of the game map even when your player is located far away from certain map blocks. This decreases the draw distance almost without negatively affecting gameplay. You can expect more than 20% increase in performance with this cheat.

ULUS10235.ini

Code:

_S ULUS-10235

_G Driver 76 [USA]

_C0 Better performance 3 ON [60FPS only]

_L 0x202A567C 0x00000000//RunVblank

_C0 Better performance 3 OFF [60FPS only, Default]

_L 0x202A56FC 0x100004F3

Cheat 3: The game seems to be rendering all the frames it can even when if it's already running at more than 60FPS (exactly like both PSP God of War games do), causing PPSSPP to render useless frames and heavily affecting emulation performance. You can expect at least a 15% or more than 40% increase in performance with this cheat, but keep in mind that you can not use this cheat along with the 30FPS cheat from below because they use the same RAM address.

ULUS10235.ini

Code:

_S ULUS-10235

_G Driver 76 [USA]

_C0 30 FPS [Don't use Perf3]

_L 0xD0403144 0x00000001

_L 0xD0403144 0x00100001

_L 0x202A567C 0x00000000//60FPS,Menu

ULES00740.ini

Code:

_S ULES-00740

_G Driver 76 [EUR]

_C0 30 FPS [Don't use Perf3]

_L 0xD0403204 0x00000001

_L 0x202A56FC 0x0E2F2759//30FPS,Ingame

_L 0xD0403204 0x00100001

_L 0x202A56FC 0x00000000//60FPS,Menu

This cheat forces the game to run at a stable 30FPS, which is easier to achieve fullspeed than at 60FPS. Keep in mind that you can not use this cheat along with the Better performance 3 cheat from above because they use the same RAM address.

Details: As explained on THIS POST (check it out for pictures), on some hardware (mainly on Android devices), both GoW games have a constantly moving dark overlay effect between the 3D world and the 2D HUD elements.

This cheat can be used as a workaround to avoid that bug, but a minor negative side effect of it is that the haze effect that is rendered around some objects (fire, distance, etc.) will be disabled too.

Details: There are games that will only show a black screen while using Unbuferred Rendering on PPSSPP; GTA LCS and GTA VCS are some of these. Unbuffered Rendering usually gives better performance while at the same time providing a free higher internal game resolution.

The interesting thing is, GTA games have 2 video modes: one for actual gameplay and another one for menus. When you go to the map menu (by pressing start button), both games change to a video mode that uses a different framebuffer address, and this one has always worked with Unbuffered Rendering mode.

This cheat forces both GTA games to always use this framebuffer to display the ingame graphics, making possible the use of Unbuffered Rendering on PPSSPP; it also gives slightly better performance if used on a real PSP/PSVita.

Be warned that using this cheat and Unbuferred Rendering will break some graphic effects (like vehicle reflections and other special screen effects, like the blur when driving fast in GTA VCS) and will decentralize the aim crosshair for weapons; the latter happens because the game internal resolution was changed.

Details: The same situation as with 7th Dragon (read above). The game tries to load its game files as if they were encrypted, but the translation patch has them decrypted, causing a PSVita to be stuck in a bootloop (but working on a real PSP and PPSSPP). This cheat forces the game to load its files in decrypted mode.

I personally tested the vanilla KHBBS game with this cheat and I can say that it fixes the black screen at boot, but users have reported that it doesn't not fix Final Mix english translation black screen.

This game runs at 30FPS by default, you can play it at 60FPS using the cheat available HERE.

Note: As a recommendation for Kingdom Hearts BBS, its files BBS1.DAT, BBS2.DAT and BBS3.DAT should always be manually decrypted: this gives better/faster loading times, gives A LOT higher compression ratio if you compress the game as CSO and it might even slightly decrease CPU load overall (better performance). You can decrypt them by using a real PSP (and PSVita too?) and the PSP homebrew app dnas_decryptor (doesn't work with emulators, search for it on Google), which has a version for each KH BBS region/release. Use this FIX cheat only if when you have decrypted the previously mentioned files or with Final Mix translations.

_L 0x200FB5D4 0x0E285C9B

Details: The game presumably disables the audio in loading screens and re-enable it when the game starts, possibly to speed up loading times. See HERE for more details from the devs.

On a real PSP this works without problems, but in PSVita and PPSSPP the audio doesn't get re-enabled (timing issues?), causing the game to not have any audio while ingame and causing the game to crash in subsequent loading screens between races.

This cheat forces the game to never disable the audio, avoiding the game freezes too. It must be enabled before you start your first race, if you enable it when your game has already lost its sound, it won't work.

Details: The game has performance problems on PPSSPP caused by a Post Processing effect that is not handled efficiently on it. The same effect makes the game incompatible with the “Disable slower effects” option, which would give more speed but by default causes garbled graphics.

This cheat disables the problematic effect and gives a 2x boost in performance, and even makes possible the use of Unbuferred rendering for possible more speed gains.

- Disable vehicle shadows (USA version only). [PSP / PSVita / PPSSPP]

_C0 Vehicle shadows ON [Default]

_L 0xE001E8EC 0x00139FF0

_L 0x20139FF0 0x10A000EF

Details: The USA version of the game has problems rendering the vehicle shadows, an issue that doesn't happen with other game releases/regions (EUR/JAP). See HERE for pictures and more details from devs.

I made some binary comparisons with IDA PRO and I noticed that there are more differences than usual in functions between the BIN file from the USA version and BIN files from other releases.

The EUR version is not affected by this shadow bug, so as a test I repacked an ISO using all the EUR release assets/files but using the USA E/BOOT.BIN, and indeed the shadows were broken again. This confirms that the game developers changed something in the game code of the USA version related to the shadow rendering, and PPSSPP is failing to render it properly.

Considering how annoying the issue can be ingame, you can use this cheat as a workaround to completely disable the vehicle shadows. As a recommendation, if you can choose which version of this game you can get, you should just get the EUR version so you can have proper shadows. Alternatively, if you already have the broken USA version you can replace the files BOOT.BIN and EBOOT.BIN from the ISO of the EUR version and repack your USA ISO with it, this will bring you proper shadows too.

This game runs at 30FPS by default, you can play it at 20/60FPS using the cheat available HERE.

Details: The game uses PSP VPL functions in an incorrect way (see HERE for details); in addition to what was discussed in the previous link, the game constantly passes invalid addresses as argument to those functions, and while using a real PSP (and PPSSPP) the game still works, this causes the more sensitive PSVita ePSP to crash. This cheat filters the invalid pointers and fixes the freeze issue.

The game has a very low Field of View by default (1.0), you can't even see most of the weapon models or player's hands. This cheat sets it to 1.20 which feels better. Keep in mind that higher FoV values render more geometry around you so it will slightly decrease the game performance, and if you use a value greater than 1.62 the world rendering will be broken.

Quake II (Homebrew).

_C0 Quake II stutter NO-FIX [Default]

_L 0xE0010000 0x000093F8

_L 0x200093F8 0x1880FFFC

Details: This homebrew game/port has stutter/performance problems while playing it on PPSSPP (see HERE a video showing the issue); this is caused by the functions sceKernelLibcGettimeofday and sceKernelLibcTime that are being executed several hundred times every game frame, possibly to continually calculate the gamespeed.

This cheat reduces the number of executions of said functions and fixes the stutter but by using it the game will run at an unplayable high gamespeed. As a workaround for this, make sure to enable VSYNC within the ingame graphic options (remember this is a source port of the PC version), then the game will run without problems.

As an additional recommendation, a high PSP CPU speed should be used for PPSSPP, like 666Mhz, in order to guarantee a stable 60FPS framerate.

_L 0x20003310 0x0A2E25AC

_L 0x20003314 0x00000000

Details: From what I've tested, PSVita ePSP suffers from random timing issues (GPU related?), and these can cause game crashes when game save functions depending on exact behavior are repeatedly used in a very short time.

The use of the PSP functions sceKernelVolatileMemLock, sceKernelVolatileMemTryLock and sceKernelVolatileMemUnlock are the most affected, totally crashing games when they are run before they should in several times in a row. This is a common problem for some games on this post while played on a PSVita.

This cheat inserts a loop to waste some cycles after sceUtilitySavedataShutdownStart, to delay the execution of the Volatile functions, giving extra time for everything to be finished before these are executed, thus avoiding game freezes.

Details: The game sometimes has a red overlay over the game graphics (see HERE for pictures of this issue). This seems to happen only on Android and possibly only on older devices (I personally get this issue with a RK3188 tablet with an old Mali400 GPU).

While using this cheat on a real PSP, the only effect I can see from it is that some of the game lighting is disabled, so this issue may be directly related to it. Using this cheat on PPSSPP fixes the issue without negative effects.

_L 0x201E39D0 0x8CB1CDC0//ClusterSize

Details: Early PSP game developers didn't considered that at some point memory sticks bigger than 4GB would be available for use with PSP systems (crazy huh?), so in many of these games they constantly used a prone to fail way to determine how much free space has available a memory stick.

This cheat is a workaround for this, tricking this game into thinking that it has an empty 1GB memory stick. There are more games on this thread with this issue too.

Details: The EUR release of this game shows a permanent battery indicator on the top right of the screen, something that can be unnecessary and really annoying. As an example, on a PSTV the emulated PSP battery is always “charging” and stuck at 90%, so a battery indicator is clearly useless here.

Details: By default, this game has severe performance problems on PPSSPP. This is because it uses a Post Processing effect as a filter to represent ambient colors depending on the ingame time of day; so it does a lot of little changes to the screen in every game frame and the emulator can't do it in an efficient way (see HERE for more details, specially the last post from unknownbrackets).

At the same time, this same post processing causes the emulator to not be able to render the game at higher resolutions than native/1x or even use unbuffered rendering.

This cheats disables that post processing, so now you can get a 5x+ performance boost, be able to use higher internal resolutions and even use unbuferred rendering for further extra performance. This isn't perfect though; the game will look a little bland without it compared to a real PSP, mainly when the ingame time is at noon.

BTW, this is a good looking PSP game and one of the best racing games on the system, everyone should give it a try.

This game runs at 20FPS by default, but now thanks to these performance fixes we can finally play it at 30/60FPS at fullspeed using the cheats available HERE.

Please Read:
Please keep in mind that most of these hacks were made because of emulation accuracy issues that can be reproducible even while using the latest version available of PPSSPP at the time they were posted here.

This means that at some point, the real issues causing a problem might get fixed in newer versions of PPSSPP, and if this happens any related hack to that problem will be obsolete and should NOT be used anymore. This is not a problem for cheats made specifically for PSP/PSVita consoles, of course.

Related threads.
- The user LunaMoo also has a list of random fixes/hacks similar to this one but for different games, you can find it HERE.
- The master list of 60FPS cheats for PSP games can be found HERE.

And finally...
Do you know other PSP games with incorrect behavior, graphic glitches, reproducible crashes or bad decision from the game developers in a real PSP, PSVita or PPSSPP? Post about them and I may take a look Wink

Also, if you make a cheat that you think it should be included in this post, post it on this thread or give me a link to it and I will add it to this master list.

And please, DO NOT quote this whole post, that's totally unnecessary and will waste a lot of space. If you have any question, comment or feedback, just post them here.
