What it is

REDRIVER2 is Driver 2 (PlayStation) carefully and completely disassembled and translated from MIPS to C (except the memory card menu), with no emulation. According to the README, the game has been significantly improved over the original, bugs fixed and unfinished gameplay aspects completed. It runs on Windows and Linux and has basic modding support with texture and model replacement.

It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy.

What you need

Your original copy: Your two Driver 2 CDs, dumped as ISO or BIN/CUE. Supported versions: PAL (initial 1.0 and Platinum 1.1) and NTSC US (initial 1.0 and Greatest Hits 1.1). The project does not include game data.
  • Windows or Linux.
  • Java, for the installer launcher on Windows.
  • The project wiki's installation guide details the steps; the README does not publish hardware requirements.

How to install and run it

  1. Dump your two CDs to ISO or BIN/CUE.
  2. Download the latest release from the releases page (the "Go to the official project" button) and extract it into a folder, along with the project's launcher.
  3. Install Java, open the launcher, click "Setup wizard", pick the CD1 and CD2 images and click "Install".
  4. Click "Launch game".

Current limitations

  • Its latest published release is from February 2022, although the repository has kept receiving changes.
  • Only the English versions (PAL and NTSC) are supported; other languages will be supported "later".
  • Platforms other than Windows and Linux are listed as "soon".

Port or emulator?

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a console emulator: see emulators and its install and setup guide.
