I'm specifically talking about the one on the PSDevWiki. A lot of the games that have "minor issues" play perfectly fine. I rarely or even never experienced locks or crashes if I used the official or custom CONFIGs and or appended an LIMG in ManaGunz. Similarly, launching PS2 games through different launchers has also helped avoid glitches and performance issues.
For example, I never experienced the visual glitches in the dotHack games using either the GX or custom CONFIG if I either launched it through Multiman or launched it through ManaGunz after appending an LIMG and it played perfectly fine.
I know I could and should make an account to report my own findings but I want to see if anyone else has the same experience with me when it comes to PS2 compatibility on models without PS2 hardware.
