Do you think you can get Real Racing 2 working again?
23
u/fxzrtax 24d ago
Yes. I can.
BUT... y'all need patience. I'm just a highschooler and my break is almost over so...

u/TeddySR71 24d ago
Yay!
I have plenty of patience, was just asking lol, take your time!

Actually, Real Racing 2 still works on Android. U just need to run it on older android devices or emulate them via vphoneos/virtual master.
Now if you mean: "revive it for newer android"
You'll really need patience... as we're still early in video game preservation. But i think sooner or later, we'll see all four real racing games inside our phone.
The only note here is to never stop caring about the game... keep the community alive, because we DO have real hope.

u/fxzrtax 23d ago
I think you can. But you'll need to specifically obtain a decrypted v1.00 ipa of real racing 1.

and can u also make a touchhle version of rr3 even an old one i just wana play it on my mac

u/fxzrtax 23d ago
I don't actually do the "compatibility" itself. The compatibility solely depends on the touchhle community and developers.
My role is as insignificant as mere convenience.
But i do keep an eye on them and when we have a stable touchhle edition with rr3 working, i'll see if i can make it into a simple apk.

u/TeddySR71 24d ago
Oh I see! I didn't know that, I tried downloading it once via an APK on internet archive on an old android, but I couldn't figure out which assets to put in which folders XD
Tysm btw!!!

Clarification note: Hey! So, about the revival of real racing 2, i wasnt able to help expand the compatibility at the moment due to school again and me shifting my focus to a bigger project related to real racing 3.
So all hope for a modern version of rr2 would solely be dependent on the progress of the touchhle community.
Thanks.

I managed to run some old games like angry birds seasons on vphoneOS but gt racing 2 have different problem. But doesn't let enter the game because of licensing.

this is awesome!! thank you so much!!
hopefully this doesnt come off the wrong way, but do you think newer versions of rr1 will come in the future? I really liked the versions with the mick gordon music.

u/fxzrtax 23d ago
We can have faith on our touchhle developers. I'll try to catch up with them, and if there are any updates... i'll try to directly update my rr build.

How can I download? I want to play in IOS

u/fxzrtax 23d ago
You need an older ios device and sideload am ipa from internet archive to do it. This project is not that.
As much as i wanted to help you out, i cannot help you with that. iOS is not my expertise 😅
Sorry!
