What is a G27 like on PS2?

[@mono_vt]

​@@MuscleCarLover About the same as a DFGT if I'm being honest. The force feedback felt pretty similar too, that's expected though, it's still gear driven after all. Nowadays though, PCSX2 is top notch, I don't bother with the PS2 anymore. My brother uses it because he's reliving the past on the CRT.

​@@MuscleCarLoveris it also functional on USB 1.0?

[@MyMomsADadNow]

Gt4 by default has some pretty stiff racing suspension, making low-speed weight-transfer difficult. If you bring the springs down 15% or so and the dampers down 50% or so, raising the ride height 5-10mm, it will help moderately. Even with good suspension tuning, wheelspin under 40mph isn't very great, but it's still an enjoyable experience.

[@Arth16V]

Hey Jimmy, the issue you are having with the brake peddal is you didnt bind it the way it should be, try pushing the pedal at 100% then hitting the bind button, then releasing the pedal, it should say full axis, instead of axis only, that fixed it for me.

[@dixalicous]

mine says full axis and still doesnt work its so annoying i wanna play this on wheel and pedals

[@Arth16V]

@@dixalicous While you have the game open with a car on a track, try to switch from Axis+ to Fullaxis, one of them has to work, i dont remember which ended up working for me but i had to change them with my game open for it to get corrected, hope it helps

[@Limeaway]

I got VNM pedals to work by following a similar method. Press the pedal down all the way (as far as you can for a load cell brake), click to bind, release the pedal, then if nothing changes, give the pedal another quick tap and you should see “FullAxis” listed. After binding everything, I recommend saving this input profile. This is important for the next section. Some pedals end up inverted, you’ll know it’s inverted if after binding it shows something like “FullAxis~”. You need to remove the “~” to fix it and that can be done by closing PCSX2, opening the PCSX2 root folder, then open up the config file located in the inputprofiles folder (you did create an input profile, right?). You can open this file using notepad. Once its open, scroll all the way down until you find [USB1] and you’ll see your steering bindings listed there. Remove the “~” from both gas and brake bindings. Save, close, then relaunch pcsx2. You should be good to go. I’d also recommend right clicking GT4, opening properties, then assigning the input profile to whatever you saved earlier. Regarding the FFB cutting out, this is an intentional “safety feature” implemented by the PCSX2 devs. I guess in the past they had problems with some games that wouldnt send a follow up command/signal to stop FFB. So the “fix” was to set a 10 second timer that shuts off FFB automatically. Hopefully with Spec II gaining popularity, it’ll pull in someone from the community who has knowledge of software that can help the devs sort out FFB implementation. The current team doesn’t have any avid sim racers, so none of them have hardware to help them debug any issues.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Yeah, now I remember GT4 requiring you to calibrate the pedals when you load in by doing a full cycle of the travel

[@nicogansauge4486]

I had the problem that the game only registered the top 50% of my pedals. I fixed this in the pedal software be mapping 0% pedal input to 50% output

Agree Jimmer. I've also been playing this with wheel and pedal and also been streaming this absolute GOAT like yourself, it has indeed brought all those old memories back but enhanced my grin to new levels.

This game is the first game I played with a wheel. I bought this game with the Logitech gaming force gt wheel and had the lap mount for it. Because I couldn't mount to a desk it was awful and didn't get another wheel for 18 years but I've gotten a chair and g920 now and wanting to go back and try it again. Thank you for these spec 2 videos. It reminds me of my love for racing games and where it really got serious for me.

[@Playername_Blue]

It took me a minute to get my wheel set up with gt4 on pcsx2, but I found having the steering, gas and brake inputs set to the analog sticks worked best for me as opposed to the standard inputs like the triggers or face buttons. That way, when I turned the wheel or used the gas/brake, it was registered as analog instead of digital input on the controller to wheel emulation.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

A minute is pretty quick.

I just bought an open box R3 bundle for $247 shipped on Friday after being on a G29 for the last ~8 years. The Spec II streams definitely had some influence on that decision lol. Racing is probably only 30% of the overall gaming I do so I can't really justify spending much more than that on more serious hardware but I'm really looking forward to getting everything switched over.

[@MrHaggyy]

I loved this game so much. That you had to buy a car, maintain it, actually build it up, race it for a view races ... etc. It really gave you a story with the car and build you up as a driver. Modern games just throw a huge amount of cars and tracks at you. In the end you bick your favorite car, a view beloved circuits and get some fun. But those games don't push you to learn by any mean. Either you do it yourself, or you end up playing something else.

The first Sony Playstation Dual Analoge controller and the first Gran Turismo came out just before Christmas 1997.

[@MuscleCarLover]

@@DerekMoore82 That controller was also Japan exclusive, was it not? I seem to remember a controller with a faux wheel coming out for the original Ridge Racer however

[@DerekMoore82]

@MuscleCarLover The one weird one I remember was called the Negcon that went with Ridge Racer Type 4. So I wouldn't be surprised if they had a weird one for the original Ridge Racer as well that I missed. But no, they sold a ton of Dual Analog PS1 controllers at all the stores back then. Shortly thereafter they came out with the Dualshock, which added rumble support, making the standard Dual Analog redundant, and it quickly disappeared from shelves as it has been replaced for the now standard Dual Shock. So most people had either the original controller with no sticks, or the Dualshock because the window for the Dual Analog was short on the shelves. There was a lot of pressure to get the new Dualshock when Metal Gear Solid came out because it was almost a requirement for certain moments in the game (psycho mantis), and the way that game used the rumble effects was revolutionary at the time. After MGS everyone had a Dualshock. The part about the Japanese exclusive was actually the other way around. When the first PlayStation analog controller was made in Japan, it already had the rumble feature. However, for the USA market they removed the rumble feature for some reason and gave us the Dual Analog version with sticks but no rumble. Then later sold us that feature in the form of the Dualshock. But Japan never had an analog controller that didn't have the rumble support. So the Dual Analog without rumble was an exclusive bare bones version for U.S. and the Japanese kept the fancy features for themselves in the beginning.

But as a kid discovering the idea of taking a completely ordinary car that your parents might own and turning it into a track weapon, or even just something that was fun to throw around, was like a whole new world opening up.

[@ze_rubenator]

A lot of people remember GT4 as understeery because, for some unfathomable reason, driving assists (ASM/TCS) are on by default and have to be manually disabled _for every car._ It slows you down and make all the cars feel terrible. And it can't be disabled for the license tests, most of which have it enabled.

[@xuananator]

This was an intro to racing when I was like 6 or 7 years old through my uncle. I recently learned about emulators and played through gt4 (to the championship) which was something I never was able to do before my uncle got rid of his ps2 way back when. It was so so much fun. When spec II dropped I had to figure it out and I’ve been loving doing another play through so far. Gt4 is one of the few games I’ve been able to enjoy time and time again and not just play them once and move on. It’s so good.

[@vstaritz]

It's quite crazy to feel this game on a wheel today. It really was quite good and it changed the experience drastically once i tried it recently.

I was literally confused if it was the actual game's FFB, the Mod doing stuff or if the Emulator added to it.. but your video and others confirm it's GT4 itself.. Quite insane if you think about it.. Tho it has to be said and idk if that was only an issue due to me using Thrustmaster and their products not having a lot of settings like others, I did have to put in a 1% Deadzone (changed it to 0.7% in the config) to not have viciously overpowered oscillations and other weird things (even with lowered overall Strength of Forces in the driver), but other than that, incredible!

@@kylehamilton7264 It's definitely bound on two devices? If not you could try a third? This fix did work for Fanatec wheels, but maybe it doesn't for others? I speculate the reason that fix worked for us is that Fanatec wheels are recognized by Windows as two devices because they're too complex to work off of a single USB device, so it's assigned to two separate USB devices (from a single port) instead. The emulator probably doesn't account for that, so without two devices bound maybe it can't handle it. Just speculating there though.

[@rodsk8dude731]

This mod and GT PSP show that the cockpit camera for "Standard" cars in GT5 and GT6 could've been much better. One thing you notice is that on the PS3 games, you can't see the body of your car, like, say, one where you should clearly see the hood from the driver's perspective, or having the actual car's external mirrors, be them plastic or body-colored, or carbon, or the beautiful chrome mirrors of your NA Miata V-Special in "Neo Green". Also you can see a bit of the dashboard. Some smoothing and blurring to the textures that looked like the ones on the Skyline and Supra could make it work well, making it look more like theone on the CLK-GTR. On GT PSP you can't see the dashboard like this.. except for some Skylines, but I think it was an oversight and not intended, but sure looked neat for PSP. And it was an earlier opportunity to see how it could've looked like on GT5 and 6. Many hated on the Standard cars, but nowadays those games are like the resting place for most of those, cars we would not see on any game afterward, even less so on one as good as even one of the less-liked Gran Turismo titles can still be.

8:13 more than nostalgia, I think it's because, when you're young, everything new feels "more new", while, when you grow up, you have this feeling of "oh, I've seen that already", due to the experience you make through the years, so you become less and less easy to impress, but not because you want to be an a**hole or anything, but simply because you truly experience more and more, so there's less and less that can make you say "WOW!", unless it's something completely new. But that needs to be something you've never considered/done before, in your whole life. Nostalgia comes to play, literally, when you prefer to play old stuff than new one, because playing old games takes you back to such pleasant feelings you felt back then (which is happening to me lately.

With FFB, I set it to MILD in the Game Options. That fixes the cut out issue..kinda cant wait to see gt4 w/wheel stream 😊

Played GT4 with a Logi Driving Force Pro. Have many hundreds of hours in AC and I just picked up an Alpha mini a couple days ago. We moving up, boys

Not had a direct drive wheel but I did play through much of GT4 with my old Thrustmaster T150 wheel and I would be a sweaty boi after doing some of those endurance races lol.

I just got an old beat up T150 for free...I am poor so I am gonna fix and mod it up and use it. It works but needs some TLC. I also got a free older Pimax 4K VR setup to go with it.

We got 3 videos from Jimmy in 1 week before gta 6. Thanks

I remember trying GT4 with the Driving Force Pro back in 2005 or so, it was something else at the time

[@emteehed]

well that was the perfect impression of jack dogherty's accident

I just watched this and decided to set my wheel up in the emulator. Went to one of the hardest license tests in the game (R32 at trial mountain) and immediately found consistently quicker times by about .2. This game has no right being so good from a time when I was still in high school.

Played GT4 with a Logitech Driving Force Pro, the wheel was made for GT4 and it was awesome.

[@beatsbybrandon902]

Ah good ol GT4. My first racing game I believe

[@HSVKing]

I was 13 when the OG GT was released Jimma, you aren't that old! haha

[@mueesli4745]

There is another sim from that time that is still extremely good: GT Legends. That was where I REALLY learned to drive after excessive GT4 usage 😅

[@Flojer0]

I played GT4 on launch with the "Driving force pro". Lots of time anticipating and playing

[@El-Burrito]

Yeah I would happily just watch a long stream of this

[@marcomudde5988]
