REDRIVER2 VS TR2Main

Please include ReDriver2! A recompilation of PS1's Driver 2. I finished it a few days ago and has a good set of advantages over emulating. There's a mini guide in an old post in this sub but I wanted to make a more datailed guide

But now there's NSA's Ghidra which has accelerated decompilations/reverse engineering a ton, it means that within a few years any active community can fully reverse engineer into human readable code and make major changes, it's why now there's a Driver 2 PC port and a Jak & Daxter PC port with 2 and 3 being in the works despite these games having basically no community before it, Nintendo games have a bigger modding community and a lot of games are on the way to being fully decompiled (bonus in that some games share a lot of stuff, so as one project completes it also makes it so that multiple games also advance faster

Driver 2, which is a PSX exclusive, was disassembled and rewritten so that it runs natively on Windows. Link: https://github.com/OpenDriver2/REDRIVER2

Tomb Raider II / The Golden Mask - TR2Main https://github.com/Arsunt/TR2Main/releases

TR2Main. There's a folder called "Extra Options" that'll be in the install folder when you're done. They can add things like the animated item screen and PSX status bars. You can use the PC or PSX FOV.

If you plan to play TR2, go grab the TR2Main fan patch for it, makes it run nice and smooth with controller support if you want it. TR3 is the probably most annoying to make work, due to some bugs with keybinding and alpha blending. TR4 is a little better thanks to Tomb4Project, same with TR5 (Chronicles) and Tomb5. I couldn't get controllers to work with 3-5 so i just got used to keyboard controls. Speaking of keyboard controls, with 3-5 i've been rebinding sprint to num0, sprint to num1, duck to num2 and flares to num3, so you don't have to really take your fingers off the arrow keys.

I've been playing through the original ones, you can use community updates like Tomb1Main and TR2Main for controller support on PC. I played 1 and 2 using a wireless xbox one controller on PC, which was really nice.

Tr2Main fully supports gamepads natively.

For Tomb Raider II, there's a fan patch called Tomb 2 Main that also adds native support for modern versions of Windows, widescreen resolutions and the ability to activate some features from the PS1 version that are absent from the PC version.
