GRAN TURISMO 2 NOW RUNS NATIVE ON WINDOWS, WITH A KIT TO BUILD YOUR OWN TRACKS
GT2 PC Port + Mod Kit: Gran Turismo 2 running natively on Windows

Gran Turismo 2 now runs natively on Windows. The creator says the port is built from a byte-matched decompilation of the game's code running on a native PlayStation runtime, so it is not an emulator, though the repo doesn't say whose decompilation it uses and ships prebuilt binaries rather than source. It adds widescreen, sub-pixel vertices, perspective-correct textures, render scaling and a longer draw distance, and needs no BIOS. It also comes with a mod kit to export GT2's courses and textures, build tracks in Blender, and add new cars and courses with their own menu entries. Release 0.3.0 arrived on Oct 27. It follows the Gran Turismo 4 static recompilation already on the wire.
You need: Your own Gran Turismo 2 (USA) Simulation Mode disc, v1.0 (SCUS-94488), as a .cue + .bin image. The installer checks the disc's fingerprint and refuses any other version. Windows 10/11 64-bit with DirectX 12 or Vulkan. Prebuilt binaries only; no source is published yet. No game data is included.
