I've been trying to play Eternal Ring on my cfw PS3 and the game has this gamebreaking glitch that insta kills you once you try to go through one of the caves. After researching about it on the internet I discovered that not only it happens in all PS3s, it also happens on PS4(which was patched btw) and on PCSX2 emulator on PC.

I found a post explaining the glitch is caused by some problems with the physics engine rendering the floor inside the cave and in another place I found that someone managed to fix the glitch by changing the PCSX2 emulator settings. According to that guy you need to set "EE clamp to nearer" whatever that is, I believe the EE means "emotion engine". I also looked up on the wiki about the config options for the PS3 emulator and according to the wiki it is possible to use almost all of the clamp options from PCSX2 on the PS3 so I assume it would be possible to create a PS2 config file with that "EE clamp" setting set to nearer. The problem is, I have no idea how to use config files, no idea how to make them and no idea how to use that setting in the file so I'd really appreciate it if any of you could help me with that.


tl;dr I need a PS2 config file for Eternal Ring with "EE clamp" set to nearer.


Thanks in advance.

I know how to get config files already made but I don't know how to make them. I would go to psx-place.com and sign up for the forums and go to the PS2 on PS3 compatibility thread here http://www.psx-place.com/threads/compatibility-list-ps2-on-ps3.1306/page-69 and see if someone can make that config. That's your best chance of getting it done.

Just for reference here's the compatibility list itself http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List

If it says there's a config file by the game (Eternal Ring don't, but for other games) the easiest way is install Managunz it's sort of like Multiman as it can play PS3, PS2 and PS1 games but can load PS2 config files for you, but only for games that have one. You just load the game and it'll ask if you want to load the config file and you say yes and it'll do it for you.

But as far as Eternal Ring there's no guarantee a game can be fixed that doesn't work properly. You may just not be able to play that game. There are some games that just cannot be fixed. But ask on that forum.
