Games that rely on the EE data cache to work.

[ghost]

One of the most significant issues in PS2 emulation is the EE data cache handling. Various games rely on obscure behaviours which make the EE data cache needed in order to make them booting past the title screen or a black screen.

As handling the cache will result of a unnecessary loss of computing resources, the idea here is to track down games that need it in order to patch them accordingly.

• Nascar 09 , This game intentionally break a transfer in order to make emulators not working with the game. This is already known and patched.

• Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore and base game , what this game does is explain in the Dobiestation patreon by PSI himself. This is already known and patched.

• Ice Age 2 , Bad programming practices which lead to a game breaking bug , This is already known and patched.

• Savage Skies , The game will not be able to go ingame without the data cache , cause unkown.

• Various Idea factory games such as Ouran high school or game ni natta , Will be stuck on a black screen without data cache handling , cause unkown.

• Evolution Snowboarding , The game will crash during FMV sequences without a data cache handling , cause unkown.

Games that could use it but not confirmed yet

• World Series Baseball 2K3

• Totally Spies: Totally Party
