How to Create Emulated PS2 PS4 Packages (PKGs) Guide by G991!

This is a user-friendly tutorial on how to play your favorite PlayStation 2 games on your jailbroken PlayStation 4 as can be seen HERE. I am not going to go into specifics here; but if you need help or have a question, feel free to reply and I will answer.

• ps2emu (2.36 MB)
• Fake PKG Tools (Someone please make a better Fake PKG Tools! This is aids to work with...)
• Custom configuration files for PS2 emulator used in PS4

1. Download the ps2emu.rar and Fake PKG Tools_1v1.rar (look above)
2. Extract both archives (as you would...)
3. Put your favorite PlayStation 2 game ISO in the ps2emu\image\ folder
4. Rename the iso to 'disc01.iso' (the emulator can take multiple discs, but this is more advanced and you have to specify things in lua or the command line arguments)
5. Go to sce_sys and edit 'param.sfo' with 'orbis-pub-sfo.exe'
a. Change content ID to (UP9000-CUSAXXXXX_00-SCUS974900000001) where XXXXX is any string of numbers
b. The content ID can be somewhat random, but has to be in the enforced format. Who really cares what you do, but the original emulated game (Rogue Galaxy) was like this and I just decided to change the title ID portion.
c. Go to Title Text tab and change the text to the title of your game (ex. Ratchet & Clank, Crash Bandicoot)
6. Save the param.sfo
7. In Fake PKG Tools, rename 'orbis-pub-cmd-ps2.exe' to 'orbis-pub-cmd.exe' (delete or rename original 'orbis-pub-cmd.exe')
8. Open 'orbis-pub-gen.exe'
9. Double click on 'Image0' (we are going to add the files from ps2emu, including disc01.iso/disc0X.iso)
10. Drag and drop all the files from ps2emu into the Image0 Root (right side is files, left is directory view)

​

11. Go to the chunk tab and assign all files to Chunk #0

​

12. Exit Image Settings view
13. Goto Command -> Project Settings -> Package

​

a. Paste in your content ID that you put in your param.sfo
b. Generate a passcode (or use IvBkwybGjpTdC1uijHBWbQR-XSFXgKqc because I am using it for everything)
c. Change Application Type (at the bottom) to Freemium App
14. Click build, select output directory. Click build?
15. If you get the error, "Could not create system file. sce_discmap.plt"
- Hit close, double click Image0, try to reasign Chunks (you should have already)
- Then try to build again. I think this is some sort of glitch?
16. Have fun playing your favorite PlayStation 2 games!

You can decompile eboot.bin and see all the command line options for the emulator.
I also recommend changing --ps2-title-id in 'config-emu-ps4.txt' for consistency sake (but who cares?).

If there are an problems with my tutorial, please notify me!

[hsb083]

Thankyou @cellinno for the wonderful guide
When I try to run it I get a error message saying

unhandled page fault address violation

 

[cellinno]

@hsb083 "When I try to run it" Thanks. where are you having trouble? Whats "it"?

 

[hsb083]

I mean when I try to load the generated pkg file on ps4, it gave me error unhandled page fault address violation

 

[cellinno]

@hsb083 I've never had this problem. Are you sure the ps2 game is compatible with the ps2emu? Even if it isnt the first disc you made should have been "ULE" disc01. Which will always load, so may be you miss a step somewhere.

 

[Angelo Spagnol]

Cant we use this to make PKG out of emulators for PS2? There is SNES, GENESIS, NES, MASTER SYSTEM and other system emulator in ISO format for PS2.

 

[hsb083]

@cellinno
Ya I redid the steps and I get same unhandled page fault address violation error
Ulaunch is not being run because the error show on the ps2 logo screen and does not allow me to go further
Any help would be appreciated
