Worked fine until my phone started getting hot. I realized after the fact, that I was having acceleration problems because the touch screen inputs don't register pressure sensitive buttons, which this game took advantage of.

This video features no voice-over commentary, so you’ll be experiencing the gameplay exactly as I do, watching me experiment with settings to find the right balance between graphics and performance. As the video begins, you’ll notice the game runs smoothly with a crisp visual presentation, but as my phone heats up from the strain of emulating this classic PS2 title, the frame rate begins to tank. I’ll be adjusting the settings a few times throughout the video to try and compensate for the performance dips, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the real challenges of playing such an ambitious game on a mobile device. For those who are new to Gran Turismo 4, this game was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2004 and quickly became a standout title in the racing genre. It’s often regarded as one of the greatest racing simulators ever made, thanks to its unprecedented attention to detail and enormous selection of cars and tracks. The game features more than 700 vehicles from a wide range of manufacturers, including sports cars, classics, tuners, and even some of the most iconic race cars in history. Each vehicle is modeled with painstaking detail, both inside and out, and the game’s physics engine replicates real-world driving dynamics, giving you a genuine sense of how each car handles based on its specifications. Gran Turismo 4 also features over 50 tracks, including real-world circuits like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Suzuka Circuit, and Fuji Speedway, as well as unique fictional tracks that push your driving skills to the limit. The game goes beyond just racing – it’s a full-on driving simulator. There’s a career mode where you can purchase and upgrade vehicles, earn licenses, and compete in various race events. From rally races to endurance challenges, the game offers a wealth of content that demands strategy, skill, and patience. You’ll even have to manage things like tire wear and fuel levels during longer races, adding a layer of realism that sets it apart from typical arcade-style racers. Throughout the video, you’ll see me taking on different races and events, pushing the game to its limits while trying to manage the emulator’s performance. While AetherSX2 does an impressive job of emulating the PS2, running a complex game like Gran Turismo 4 can be tough, especially on mobile devices. You’ll notice that as my phone gets hotter, the game’s performance begins to drop, which is a common issue for mobile gamers trying to emulate demanding titles. I’ll be adjusting various settings in the emulator, including resolution scaling, frame rate limits, and graphics settings, trying to find a compromise that allows for smoother gameplay. If you’re someone who’s thinking about emulating Gran Turismo 4 on AetherSX2, this video will give you an honest look at what you can expect in terms of performance and playability on Android devices. It’s not just about the game itself but the real-world challenges of bringing a classic PS2 game into the modern era on mobile hardware.
