PS2 Fake PKG Freezing

[Dan Smith]

Has anyone experienced issues with a PS2 pkg created with PS4 PS2 Classics GUI freezing on the "Playstation 2 Screen"? The specific game I am trying to run is Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 which the compatibility guide says is "playable" however every time I try to load the pkg on PS4 it freezes.

The compatibility guide also mentions "Boots and plays great using StarOcean3". Can anyone help me understand what this means/refers to? Do I need to be using Star Ocean 3 to somehow get the game to start?

Any help is much appreciated!

It means that this ps2 game is fully playable with the ps2 emulator template found within the official star ocean 3 ps2 classics release. PS2 classics gui uses the ps2 emulator template from the official Jak & Daxter ps2 classics release. I'm afraid I can not find a pkg of star ocean ps2 classics to fix this for you. Each official ps2 classic games contain a ps2 emulator template.

Got it thanks again! Is there a way to change the template via ps2 classics gui? Is that what the "Add custom PS2 config" option is for?

You can not change the emu template within ps2 gui. It would be a nice feature. ps2 config is a txt docment that contains the config for your game. If you can find star ocean 3 official ps2 classics pkg I can have a go for you.

Yeah that'd be awesome thanks!

The place where I have found a bunch of templates is user sabin1981's workspace tools where one of the templates is for StarOcean. The links are here:

To use a different template do you use FakePKG tools? Want to make sure I am able to recreate this if ever needed.

Check my post in this thread I've posted it for you. I could not get this to work with star ocean emu but works great in jak emu which ps2 classics gui uses. Yes use Fake pkg tools and it the same process that was used to create ps2 pkgs before ps2 classics gui was released.
