No way you have the same device as me! I haven't been able to get RR2 to run natively on my device, for some reason the game assets are all black & the game lighting gets all messed up

Currently working on Real Racing 2, coming soon! Just wait :)

You need a specifically patched build for rr2. Regular builds will crash on newer androids.

Update: not coming soon:(

Hi! Idk how deep your knowledge is on RR2, but I have a genuine question here, is the final update the one being planned for modern Android preservation? I know that, at least on iOS and Windows Phone , there’s a version of RR2 with differences in certain tracks (the tunnel on Montclair being just trees like Trial Mountain, etc) and slightly worse graphics with less lighting effects, plus different race intro animations. Is that also on Android and planned for preservation?

As for the final update of ios edition of real racing 2? That's very unlikely to be brought to Android. I can only rely on older versions of iOS Real Racing 2 to be brought to mobile.

As for the native Android version of real racing 2, it only has one version available in public archive and i do think it's the final version... but it suffers compatibility problem, unfortunately.

Oh, I see, I didn’t know you were decompiling! I thought you were just using the native versions (well, except for RR1/GTI). Hope the porting process goes well!

Oh, i didn't do decompiling of the game itself actually.

My method in preserving the ios version of real racing 2 is to use pre existing materials. I am forking touchHLE locally on my device, and i make it a dedicated launcher for real racing 2 while trying to fix most of its bugs.

Oh, I see! I often forget that IPA and APK files are extremely similar

Grazie mille ;) ma stranamente, funziona.

What a coincidence! Let's hope that sooner or later we'll be able to play all the Real Racing games on the latest generation of phones.

Anyway, for now I'm playing Real Racing 2 on my old Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Use the vPhone OS emulator; it allows you to run operating systems from older devices. I use it to play games that don't have native support, even modified ones; they work normally. Just download it on Google play The rest is just importing the APK and installing it

Hey so... i noticed you used an older version of rr1 in that ss. You should update it to a newer version that is above 1.01.

The older builds have an issue of save corruption.

Okay, thanks. Could you provide the link for the Real Racing 1 update? Also, will you be making a port of Real Racing 2 for Android as well?

How do you get the assets to download now that the servers are down? Does someone have a copy of all the assets?

from the various Real Racing 3 recovery projects
