PS2-PS4 games such as this cannot use others save to pop trophies, the encryption isn't supported by save wizard, you can re-sign and use the saves for yourself, but trophies cannot be obtained.
There are plenty of emulated PS2 games on the forums that have been used to pop PS4 trophies, and I have tested some of them myself. If this particular save is not popping trophies it's not because it's a PS2 emulated game, but just because the save was made after the trophies were already popped. That would be an issue with the vast majority of games, not just emulated games.
The fact that Save Wizard does not support any of the PS2 emulated games is only an issue for whether or not those games games can have Quick Codes, and beyond that Advanced Mode and re-regioning. But they can be resigned and hence, if a save is made at the appropriate place for a particular trophy, they can be used to pop trophies.
Also keep in mind that people use saves for purposes other than trophies, such as game progress.

that's why i uploaded my save file even before i got the Rank A + under 4h trophies.
I'm not familiar with the game but that sounds like a very helpful save. Thank you very much for sharing it with the community. If you decide to share a platinum save with the community then thank you in advance for sharing that as well. Sounds like people are asking for that and sounds like you're endeavoring to provide that. To be clear, though:
(1) As far as I am aware there is absolutely no difference whatsoever in how trophies pop between native PS4 games and emulated PS2 games on PS4. The trophy system is on the PS4 itself and I'm not sure how the emulator would really have much to do with it. The individual game controls how trophies pop, and of course the emulator system is part and parcel of these PS2 games, but the trophy system itself is separate from the games and I haven't seen any fundamental difference in its behavior between emulated and native.
And (2) While for SOME games platinum saves can be used to instantly pop SOME of that game's trophies, and while the platinum saves for RARE games scattered here and there can be used to instantly pop ALL of those particular games trophies, generally speaking platinum saves are less useful for trophies than the sort of save made before a particular trophy has been popped, like the "Rank A + under 4h trophies" save file you uploaded.
Again, thank you for your hard work, and for sharing that work with the community.
