https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_ListMy 5.05 Ps4 is having difficulties currently so I cannot test it myself. The current issue is that if you try to play with this particular difficulty hack on original hardware (Ps2 or Ps3 makes no difference) the game freezes in battle upon becoming the enemy's turn. The game is 99% functional besides that and it is a huge shame, the only way it is playable is by using a ps2 emulator and that is not an option for a lot of people. My hope is that the PS4's ps2 emulator will play the game properly.
To help, I have posted the links to the .Xdelta patch of the most recent update and my .ps2 memory card with five saves from my vanilla play through at various points in the game. Oddly enough, I was the first to discover that the final boss battle is the only instance where the game will not freeze during the enemy's turn. I immediately reported my finding to Zombero about three weeks ago and, while he expressed gratitude and confirmed receipt it has not led to an updated patch yet, but I remain hopeful he will come through someday. Hopefully one of you can confirm if the hack works on Ps4 so us SMT fans with crappy PCs can rejoice sooner rather than later.

Thank you in advance for anyone who can confirm the compatibility of this game.

Its compatible and have a config file!!! ..Do you try to repack the ISO/pkg of the game with the config file?

The messed up thing is, the hack does absolutely nothing to the graphics or anything else that would be game breaking. Even new skills he added work just fine. The patch was never intended to be exclusive to the emulator, hence why Zombero put in a lot of effort to bug fix issues for console users 1+ year ago. The only issue remaining is the crash upon enemy turns.So you are telling me that someone has created a "ROM" hack that doesn't work on real HW but only on a (specific revision) of an emulator (PCSX2 I suppose)?
It's never going to run on a PS4 then...

Damn, it didn't even get through the intro? Were you using a config file by any chance or not? I know on ps3 there was a config file you would pair with it to work as it would crash if you tried to leave the area after the first boss battle.I tried the romhack on ps4 and it just crashed. Played it on PC.

Introducing Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Hardtype! This is a hack of the original game designed with several primary goals in mind:
- 1) Rebalance many aspects of the original game.
- 2) Create a gameplay experience that is challenging to veterans of the SMT series.
- 3) Add in some fresh new enemies and skills to revitalize the gameplay experience.

Just a blackscreen no logo. It's definitely fixable, maybe with checksum, but I didn't put much work into it.
From what I think it's the project description:
To achieve the above he definitely patched the code...
I can attest that simply because a ps2 game has been patched does not mean it is fundamentally incompatible with original hardware
@LonelyPhantom I've patched the usa version of SMT:N with the xdelta file. I also widescreen patched it. I got the game to boot. Played both normal & hard difficulty in the medical centre. Battled the early enemies where you follow that wheelchair dude. There is no freezing or crashes. Have not tested any further.
I've tested using rogue galaxy & kof emu template. I recommend using kof emu to fix a lot of the visual graphics.
I have not tested your game saves because getting them to work on ps4 using elf loader is time consuming & fiddely. Too much trial & error from my experience.
Forgot to mention that I noticed ppl reporting different places the game freezes. So although it has not crashed for me I have not tested the game far enough to fully confirm its playable. At least patched isos work on ps4.
