The Sly Collection [BCUS98246]

Sly 2 is not playable. It has way too many softlock crashes. here's a video of sly 2 bcus 98246 on the latest version of rpcs3 as of 3/4/2020 (dd/mm/yyyy) ( https://youtu.be/067R_Ft2sxo ) as well as the log and screenshots. bentley seems to not crash the game unlike sly whose cane attack and cane slam seem to cause the softlocks.

Is sly 2 playable? If not then shouldn't Sly trilogy still be ingame instead of playable

I tried it out because I had just finished the Sly 1 campaign. Didn't get much beyond a black screen after a few seconds, even after restarting the game several times. I'm gonna say that Sly 2 is either hit or miss or completely unplayable.

I think you marked it as playable by mistake

Sly 2 is still unplayable as of 4/21/2020. I experience a black screen whenever I jump on the dinosaur bones in the opening scene.

In sly 3 game I get the error: F {PPU [0x1000000] Thread (main_thread) [0x00024954]} VM: Access to violation read location 0x64 (memory not allocated) in episode 1

RPCS3 v0.0.17-12650-3eb37344 Alpha

Euro version playable.

BCUS98246 - Tested on 8/27/2021 with 0.0.17-12674-ddb04214 Alpha.

Sly 1 and 3 are confirmed playable.

Sly 2 is still ingame at default settings. It suffers from an issue when using LLVM recompilation (likely PPU) on the tutorial level, black screen after jumping or moving too far. Setting the PPU decoder to Interpreter (fast) and SPU decoder to Recompiler (ASMJIT) is a workaround for the brief tutorial level at a performance penalty. This issue does not occur in future levels from my testing so it is safe to reset the settings back to LLVM recompilation after, but I have only tested Episode 1 fully and Episode 2's map. After the tutorial workaround, Sly 2 is likely playable, however further testing is required.

Enable PPU LLVM Java Mode Handling, in Advanced tab, to fix black screen in Sly 2.
