Gran Turismo 2, running natively on your Windows PC — both discs in one game, up to 4K+, widescreen, 60 FPS, save states. Built on your own machine from your own discs; nothing here contains game code.

How to install

You need: a Windows 10/11 PC, and the GT2 Combined Disc — the fan-made image that merges your own Arcade and Simulation disc dumps into one game. Make it first by following the instructions at CookiePLMonster/GT2-Combined-Disc (you end up with a ~1 GB .bin + a small .cue).

  1. Make a game folder (e.g. C:\Games\GT2) and put the combined image (.bin + .cue) in it.
  2. Download GT2Recomp-setup.zip below and drag its five files into the same folder.
  3. Double-click Setup GT2.cmd. A black window works for 30–60 minutes — click Yes if Windows asks to allow changes, press Enter if it offers to rename your image, leave it alone until it prints DONE.

Play: double-click Gran Turismo 2 Recompiled.exe. The first start opens a settings window — controller, resolution, patches (widescreen, 60 FPS…). In game: F1 graphics menu, F7 save states, F8 rewind. The game gets faster over your first few sessions as it converts more of itself to native PC code; re-run Setup GT2.cmd any time to update.
