Title: The Definitive Guide to a Custom PKG for Bully (PS2 Classic) on PS3 CFW 4.21
Posted by: TheBackupLoader Board: PS3 Hacking & Homebrew / PS2 Classics Emulation
Alright, team. Let’s talk about one of the most requested custom PKG builds for the PS3: Bully (Canis Canem Edit) as a PS2 Classic. Specifically, we are targeting custom firmware 4.21 (or any CEX/DEX variant above that supports PS2 Classics placeholder method). If you are tired of the laggy, washed-out official PS2 Classic releases or want to run a specific undubbed/modded ISO of this Rockstar gem, this post is for you.
A PS2 Classics PKG is an installable package (like a PSN game) that runs PS2 games on a PS3 via the official emulator used for Sony’s “PS2 Classics” titles.
Requirement: PS3 with Custom FirmWare (CFW) or HEN. Firmware 4.21 or higher is fine (most CFWs are 4.8x/4.9x now).
Advantages over ISO loading (e.g., via multiman/WebMAN): Creating a custom (PS2 Classic) on a PS3
Bully is notoriously tricky to emulate on PS3 for several reasons:
A custom PKG file solves these problems by letting you inject configuration patches, change emulator parameters, and adjust the game’s internal resolution before packaging.
Generic PS2 Classics emulation fails for Bully. You need a custom CONFIG file. Create a text file named CONFIG.Bully with these parameters (proven for 4.21):
[Emu]
gs_upscale_multiplier = 2
gs_upscale_ssaa = 1
gs_force_cursor = 0
gs_sync_loop = 1
ee_cycle_rate = 1.0
vu_thread = 1
[Game]
patch_lw = 1
patch_fpu = 1
[Graphics]
skip_draw_start = 1
skip_draw_end = 1
Why these settings?
PS2 Classics emulator needs an emulation config file (.CONFIG).
Bully benefits from:
Where to find:
Place the config file in the same folder as the GUI.
Q: Does this work on a standard, unmodded PS3? A: No. You must have CFW or PS3HEN to install unofficial PKG files.
Q: Can I use the 4.21 PKG on a super-slim PS3? A: Yes, if you are running PS3HEN (Hybrid Firmware). The 4.21 emulator works on all PS3 models.
Q: Will this damage my console? A: Improper voltage or overheating during prolonged emulation could, but Bully is lightweight. Just monitor your fan speeds (via webMAN MOD).
Q: I see “Copyright Violation” when launching.
A: Your PKG lacks a valid RAP license file. Use PS2 Classics GUI to generate a fake license (check “Create Fake RAP”).
