This video changed my whole experience on gt4. Awesome work!
Soon getting a high end LG flatron f900p CRT, cant wait to play gt4 with all the settings maxed
Do you have any advice for setting up the controller? In GT4 there is a huge deadzone - it takes a while in some cars to register the motion and then they suddenly snap, which causes me to countersteer and then i spin out.
I tried a very small deadzone in the settings and then working my way up to 26. I also tried sensitivit from 90 to 140 but it never feels right in GT4.
DTM Racedriver is working fine with the defaults, same with other games. Just GT4 seems to react differently to inputs. It never feels right :/
LOL I was just literally re-configuring GT4, and searched "rowdy GT4", to my surprise, a 2024 post! Cheers
Easiest timing of all time 🍻
Crazy. I'm here too first time ever looking up GT4 emulation and found this updated settings guide. Thanks!
It’s crazy how far PCSX2 emulation has come over the past couple of years, especially with Gran Turismo 4. I remember there was a time where I could just about run the game but with a bunch of visual bugs and a whole lot of stuttering. Now running GT4 with all the patches and textures replacements is like playing a full blown remaster.
Just wanna say big kudos to the developers who are working on this emulator in their spare time for the good of the public. I've followed the previous guide and now looking how much progress emulator has made and that you can basically switch back most of the settings to the default one's is actually impressive thing to see to my nerdy eyes. It was frustrating changing the clamping modes and all that preserve sign thingies just because you were playing licenses and then switch back, and even with all that, the game still could freeze up completely.
For those on controller, you probably want to set Analog Sensitivity to 100% down from 133% to make it way less shaky. Tested it with both a DualShock 4 and a DualSense so the tooltip is probably inaccurate. You can test if your sticks reach the edges with jbits ps2 controller tester.
I mainly use xbox controller. pcsx2 recommended 130-140% but that's unbelievably too high. I have set the sensitivity lower to 98& but it's still too high, lower than that I can't turn anywhere lmao. can anyone help?
If I enable 480p/1080i Progressive, all the menus are fine, but when I start a race the game shrinks and I have a black border around the screen.
I'm using NTSC with both HD textures and HUD.
Man. Even with a direct warning at the beginning of the video some people are still asking for a download link to the ISO, and anyone telling others how to get the ISO illegally will be getting banned.
It is literally stated in the first 30 seconds of the video. I am not your mommy. Pay attention to the video, or leave.
Like whats so bad about cracking games also getting this iso is the easiest thing in the world.
@@rejuch5136His channel will be shut down for good if he mentions or promotes illegal ISOs. Educate yourself with a few google searches bro, its not that hard
@@rejuch5136I am not putting my channel in jeopardy by violating UA-cam’s TOS, let alone federal law.
Just a quick question would these settings work for AetherSX2 as well or just this 🤔 I'm just trying to find some better settings myself that's all
@RowdyGT hey there, this isn't a question about the ISO, do you know if Silent has fixed the lap text background yet?
It’s not piracy to download the iso, I’ve purchased that game 20 years ago. Thanks for the video anyways.
hello , i followed every steps , the game run good for now but i still have aliasing , is it normal ? (im in internal resolution 8X vulkan , anisotropic 16x , retextured mod) i mean the road lines etc
Thank you. The setup was easy to do and the game runs so smooth 😊
Can you please tell how to install the deinterlacing patch for the PAL version?
Cant believe how good this game looks, GT4 is truly one of the best racing games of all time
how do you make the steering and throttle analog? right now even tho i have trigers as throttle and break, they're either 100% on or 100% off, no in between
The Spec II mod has better analog trigger sensitivity built in. If you aren't using that, then you'll need to find a trigger sensitivity pcsx2 cheat/pnach
@@RowdyGT what about the steering? it feels so digital even when using my ds5's sticks
Ahem. I like Enthusia more than GT4!
Still, thanks for the guide, and FYI there's a way to run the game at native 120FPS ;-)
Never heard of a 120fps patch and can’t find any examples, where’d you see it?
The HUD looks really ugly. I mean if you take a closer look there is this black background with low opacity in the edges. How can we remove this? Dithering does nothing.
The texture pack modder has an updated version that fixes it
Quick note on dithering, the graphical glitches you see before you turn dithering off only appear if the game video output is set to Progressive (480p). When its set to normal, which the game automatically sets it to when you reboot it, the glitches are not there and changing dithering does nothing.
Another note, I'm using OpenGL, so it may just be that.
Scrolling text seems to flicker on the screen no matter what i do, all the settings seem to be setup correctly. If anyone was able to fix this please let me know!
Never could smoothly run GT4 before, but your settings really nailed it! Running the GT4 Spec II mod and it works perfectly, up to 4k with 60fps on my M1 Pro Macbook with Metal, pcsx2 v2.0.2. Thanks for sharing this!
brand new to emulating, really useful guide :)
just a bit confused on why picking 1080p ingame is a bad idea, why?
It’s not 1080p. Instead it calls itself 1080i (interlaced) but is actually at a much lower resolution than stated.
For PCSX2, the in-game resolution option does not matter. You just want to run progressive scan which the 480 option uses and not interlacing which is what “1080” uses. PCSX2 will take care of the resolution upscaling for you
Oh, missed the i. Got it now, ty :)
Sometimes I get a short freeze when I play GT4. As in the game freezes for a second or 2 and then resumes. Never any frame drops or anything, quality is always fine. The game just sometimes freezes. Is there a reason why? Or is my pc just not powerful enough for PCSx2? Cause any other emulator runs fine, just PCSX2 freezes.
Hey @RowdyGT , great video as always. I know you're not tech support, but after applying the settings you showed here in your video, the opponent text when playing online has bugged out. I'm not sure if this was caused by your settings or a PCSX2 update. Either way, just wanted to let you know, it might help others that have this issue. If you happen to find a fix for this, feel free to reply to my comment. Cheers mate.
EDIT:
I found out the problem was caused by the custom HD HUD, I'll pass the information along to silentwarrior, the author.
HOW DAREEE YOUUUU NOT PROVIDE COPYRIGHTED CONTENT VIA AN ISO LINK AND CLEARLY BREAKING TOS YOU THOT. all jokes aside this video was mad useful i appreciate you
sorry to ask a dumb or already answered question, but have you ever ran into an issue where GT4 drops to pretty much slow motion during the “GET READY TO RACE” screen and sometimes for no reason? it’s been pretty troublesome so far
Check your cpu threads and GPU on task manager to see if anything’s topping out. Might just be a case of hardware not being fast enough
tried it in my laptop
gtx1060 6gb
16gb ram
i5 7th gen
i got 30 fps at most, at 1080p, looks a bit blurry, i guess i will play it when i got a new gaming pc
Also im facving a super weird issue where i cant navigate in options. It jumps two positions instead of one, doesnt mattere how lightly i press a button
You probably have controller 1 and 2 mapped and enabled for the same pad, that will cause double inputs
game runs fine but replays can't be saved (crashes the game) and the game can't make ghost runs of your car work, any info on issues like that? first time trying the game this way
Thanks for this, I've been trying to get it running full-speed on my Steam Deck. I was pretty surprised that I was getting slowdown but I guess I shouldn't, it's insane how hard this game pushed the PS2.
You missed an important bit imo at 5:15 because changing hardware download mode can give you a huge boost in fps at night races but it breaks car images in split times or B-Spec mode
Geez thanks dude george v run at full speed now!
Yo can someone please help? My Gt4 is not producing even if i put that volume at high its still has low audio
tried the no interlacing patch for eu version, cars are still blurry
just downloaded the pcsx2 emulator and GT4 game. The game is crashing on every event of the Gran Turismo Mode and even at the very first License B test. The game is incredibly unplayable apart from the arcade mode where the game loads but the car is undrivable. It seams like I'm driving on oil. Also the automatic gearbox is not actually automatica as I have to release and push the X button to change gear up and the square button to change down. I've tried copying your settings to the last detail and it didn't work. At the beggining the game didn't even load the cars when I wanted to watch them in the showroom. Then I changed the resolution down to 1080p (even if I have a 1440p monitor), the the game would load the cars in the showroom but when I wanted to play an event or the licences the game would just crush. If it helps I run a 5950X cpu and a 6900XT gpu which should be a pretty decent pc to play GT4 on pcsx2 emulator.
Any ideas or advice?
This is the strangest combination of issues I've ever heard of, and nobody else seems to be having any problems. Your setup is wrong somehow somewhere, that's all I can really say
Quick, simple easy. good for anyone who is starting to emulate GT4. nice job mate.
Ah to bad the developer quit the further development of PCSX2 android version AetherSX2, these changes would have been nice and welcome on a phone.
Nevertheless, running at 4x with fxaa and CAS makes it pretty good looking.
Until the next video upload, cant wait for the Spec 2 mod release tbh, i'm sure you will make a splendid video the day it releases.
Have a nice day mate
NetherSX2 is the new community fork of Aether, most of the stuff in this video can also be done on it.
Whats the requirement spec to run gt4 on aethersx2?
Thank you! But how do i fix the input lag from my controller?
Anyone got a controller sensitivity issue using PCSX2? changing the values in the settings doesn't seem to fix this and makes playing GT4 uncontrollable
Try the Spec II mod, I haven't had any issues with GT4 since using that
I copied this video exactly and everything still looks kinda blurry. Is there something I'm missing. I have an 11700k and 4070 ti so it's not a hardware issue
Did you enable progressive scan?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get the ISO LEGALLY? I have searched countless videos to no avail. Again, I am not trying to figure out how to pirate it, but how to obtain a legitimate copy. Is there somewhere I can buy one?
You can buy second hand discs on Amazon, Ebay or facebook marketplace. If you want to rip the ISO you will need a PC or laptop with a disc drive and use ImgBurn to make a digital copy (which is 100% legal to do so)
where to put the interlacing patch file?
can we fix the ghosts? they are stuck..
Is there a way to adjut the trigger sens ? it is way to sensible and even switching deadzone is the option dosnt change that
Controller Port 1 > Settings > Analog Sensitivity. I don't have any recommendations for it though since I hardly plan on controller
I would like some help. My video settings are the same as Rowdy's, and I have installed both texture packs (for cars and HUD). Everything loaded normal, as far as I know. However, the textures during the race are still blurry, very different from the video. Is it a hardware issue?
I use a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700 CPU, 16Gb of RAM and a RTX 4060Ti. Any advice to improve the graphic quality? Thanks!
have you turned on the 480p setting (NTSC) or used the de-interlacing patch (PAL) ?
@@s0lsticefr4 I'm having the same issue and i'm using the 480 progressive setting. everything looks great until i get into a race and it all looks fuzzy
2 things:
Make sure the 480p actually gets enabled. If you change it and leave the options by pressing triangle instead of Ok then it won’t set.
Also check if your deinterlacing setting in PCSX2 is set to automatic
@@RowdyGT thanks! I feel silly but i just reset the game and it was fixed. Mustve had something wrong originally lol
@@RowdyGT Thanks! The 480p was disabled, which is a bit tricky because I have changed before. Problem fixed!
no matter what setting i use, in game they are the default. any idea why they don't apply?
Used the deinterlacing patch on the PAL version. However for some reason there is some flickery in the sky plus some CRT like lines in all of the text. It is normal or does it had a fix?
Not sure, I have not touched the PAL version in years
Where do I place the patch?
Very thorough guides, nice. But weird how mine displayed the game stretched horizontally like it was 4:3 but stretched to 16:9.
I have the exact same settings with yours but at the Screen menu where to set Progressive (480p), I noticed that my text are stretched unlike yours in the video. Any idea how to fix this?
I tried changing the display to standard 4:3 and it displayed normally.
You have to set it to 16:9 in the screen settings and in PCSX2
@@RowdyGT I did.. like I said, it's the exact same with your settings in the video.
Anyway, I just added the texture mod and things looking much better.. no longer looking stretched except for the menu. I guess I'll try the other mod as well and see if it fixes the stretched UI.

Thanks for this tutorial bro! Could you one day also make a tutorial for Gran Turismo 3? Thank you so much
The settings are virtually the same except for needing a progressive scan patch
Playable with an xbox controller?
I have a problem where I can use my wheel fine but when I use a controller the left analogue stick won't turn the car, despite still being able to navigate menus with it. Is there a known solution for this issue?
Changes my settings and now it just crashes when trying to do the license tests. Yikes! Lol lots to learn
Clamping mode setting is wrong. For current versions, the default setting is the only ones you need. Make a backup of your save before you change it as it has corrupted saves in some cases
How to fix flickering sun and lights?
It’s the most bizarre thing ever, but certain internal resolution options will fix it. I know the X.5 ones fix them, but I think odd number multipliers do as well but I can’t say for sure. I use 7x and still see the problem from time to time though
Does anyone know how to get my Ts PC Racer working with gt4? I cant get it to work. 😭
my PC can run GT3 smoothly but GT4 always experiences frame drops, what's wrong with this game?
Hey, do you know why my game stutters a lot when i load a car, a track or a license test?
Hi man. Thanks for the video. Which is the minimum requirement for a gpu to run GT4 with these settings? I’d like to see the game in full HD.
Amazing guide. You also covered a topic I needed to know and didn't think would be in this video! Saved
Does anyone know where the deadzone slider is in PCSX2, they've removed lilypad which is where others had seemed to adjust it. Now it looks like it has just straight up been removed.
hello, First, thank you for your tutos on GT4 . . . you learn to me how to enjoy my old favorite game !
have you ever a patch or a mod to have the needle hud in pursuit vieuw ? the same hud than in GT3 GT2 and GT1 . . . ???
what version is better for emulation? USA GT4 or EU one? im asking cause on ps2 normally europe versions of games run worse and im wondering if this happens with GT4 too
Lol just figured out 1st thing you have to do to really enhance picture quality is change video output in game options from default normal to 480 progressive. Author telling about it at the very end but I was sitting do everything and thinking what am I doing wrong my picture is still blurry and dirty doesn't mean what settings I do in emulator
Dude this game was looking like ass for me for years, I would always go back to it but couldn't play it because of the weird double image blurry thing I was getting. Turns out this whole time I just needed to set the format to 480p in the actual game settings like you show in this video and bam, game is looking crisp and clear at 4k. Thank you
thank you :D i still have some lag with the cars in the menus assuming its the emulator hopefully they fix that. every thing else mainly runs fine I'm using a 1050ti witch works well kind of and a amd rizon 5600x. i do have some lag with random parts of the maps but nothing game breaking and i can do 2k with that gpu way better then 480 p or what ever the native res is
So I've set up everything and I was interested in installing the texture pack, but under the "Texture Replacement" section there is no directory and no way to select one. That entire "search directory" box just does not exist for me. Anything I can do? I have created a textures folder already by clicking the dump thingy and I've downloaded the textures and put them in there. Just not sure how to apply them. Would be super grateful for any pointers 😊
Check the “load textures” box
@@RowdyGT It's checked, nothing shows up :(
the search box doesn't exist for me either.... the check box for load textures is there. but no way of searching and selecting the folder you want
@@R_-tb2vv Yeah I gave up after a few hours of trying to fix it and just played the game with its original graphics. There just doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Wish this would be addressed with a pinned comment but I don't have any hopes for that. I wish you the best of luck in finding a fix! Playing through the game with the original graphics is still an awesome experience!
Howdy Rowdy, quick question. My G29 gets recognized and all bindings work, but there's one issue I'm having: the wheel twitches, making it impossible to handle any car in a straight line, and let's not even talk about turning. I changed all in-game settings and tried several combinations but no luck. I can't even drive a damn Demio, lol. Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: i don't know how, but it's working perfectly now. Enabled SDL raw input, disabled DS2 slot 1, did all binds again, and there's no more twitching. In-game steering is on Simulator, even.
Working great on AsusZenbook 4 oled with core ultra 7 with internal gpu
Hola bro. Yo tengo una PC con una gráfica integrada Intel i3 uhd graphics 630 y juego al gran turismo 4 y no hay forma de hacerlo andar bien de fps en las pistas que son de noche. En las pistas de día si anda bien, alguna solución para hacerlo andar bien?
Hi, I'm kinda new with this emulator things. Do you put GT4 Retexture and HUD Retexture in a same folder, so both can be applied to the game or you have to choose one of them? Thanks
Hi @RowdyGT great video! thank you for the tips. I find that when i connect my wheel using the same build of PCSX2 the force feedback randomly cuts up from time to time, is this something you have experinced or know how to get around? I know you arent tech support, but finding info on this bug is pretty limited. Thanks for the content and keep it up!
Much thx. Did the same on my Steam deck but maybe someone can support on further setting recommendations for Steam deck 😉
If i use gt4 USA version do i need a deinterlacing patch? I ask you because it seems to me that the one you linked should be used for PAL users only…
Can i ask you why you use GT4 online public beta instead of USA normal version?
He said the patch is only for pal, ntsc don’t need it
Hey my game won’t start the beginner events. When I click on them the screen goes black and the music keeps playing. Does anyone know how to help me?
if for some kind of reason u got a certain amount of knowledge on tourist trophy and because of that u know how to fix the license bugs, could u please make a video on that?
valeu gringo
i came here because a replay got so messed up the only thing that wasnt rainbow in it was my black celica
even after picking fullscreen mode it still shows as window version
When PCSX2 will fix the annoying light flickering will make a beer fest!!
It’s been fixed for a while now
thank for the video it is really helping me out!!! now i can go back my hometown(hong kong) to race thanks
hey friend, thank you very much for this video. i cant believe how good it looks!
idk why i cant get 60fps on my laptop, i mean, is not too powerful but and i5 7gen and hd graphics 620 should give me the 60fps, my phone with a snapdragon 860 can do it, why my laptop cant, pls help guys (sorry for my bad english)
Don't set the resolution more than 3x , and try to disable/ignore the Hardware Download Mode.
How about license test cant run demo when clamping set to default? Does this setting fixes that issue?
If you are playing any version of GT4 Online, the demos don’t work on any of them regardless of settings or mods
@@RowdyGT hmm.. currently i don't play any online modes at all, only the GT mode (single player). Is there any setting or perhaps mods/patch that fixes the issue?
Actually now that I think about it, I don’t think any demo replays work on emulators regardless of the version of GT4 you have. Might just be something that can’t be dealt with unfortunately
@@RowdyGT okay then, maybe it'll be fixed in the future, we'll see about that. :D
Anyway, thanks for the reply brother, appreciate it. 👍🏼
Hi man, very good video, but i have a problem with the patchs, when i put one patch on the "patches" folder and go to the Pcsx2 patchs screen, there dont, only the 16:9 widescreen option appears for activate. Do you know why this happens?
From already thank you very much! Greetings from Argentina :D (Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand what I mean xd)
I don’t think cheats/patches from a .pnach file will show up in PCSX2 itself
As anyone tried this on steam deck - emudeck?
I get screen tearing with these settings, dont know why
Getting rid of those color filters in the dive cameras is awesome, how did you do it?
the use of a 8bitdo ultimate controller should work right?
Exist for android ?
Does it all apply to version 1.7.5749?
Yes unless PCSX2 made changes I’m not aware of.
Thanks! works perfect :)
what are your ingame picture settings?
Hello! I have probably a dumb question... I have set all the controls on my logitech g29 steering wheel except for the force feedback. How do I add the command? Furthermore, is it possible to set the manual gearbox controls by also adding the H gearbox?

Honestly I’m not even sure what the FFB bind even does but I set it to the PlayStation home button anyway. I think it’s just to tell PCSX2 what to send the FFB signal to or something.
However, it seems like the recent PCSX2 builds from the past couple weeks have been having issues with FFB cutting out randomly or not working at all. Haven’t fully confirmed that yet though, but I have been having those issues.
As for the H pattern GT4 has no support for that or a clutch, so it’s paddle shifting only
@RowdyGT Thank you! Tonight I'll try to press the ps button to set the force feedback and I'll let you know. I also encountered 2 minor problems. the first concerns the pedal of the brake too sensitive. As soon as I press the pedal, the car brakes at maximum and I have to be really sensitive with my foot to dose the brake and I would like to reduce the intensity of the input. the second instead concerns the game itself which occasionally (but not too much) freezes and then recovers immediately afterwards.

Make sure your wheel is in SDL input, mine didn't have FFB in DInput
I passed the licenses without ghosts because they didn’t move and I don’t know why that is
Same did you ever fix the ghosts?
@@ozywozyroby any update? trying to do everything gold but it's almost impossible without ghosts
honestly why is it even breaking the law like for example if you paid for netflix for a series it gets removed what u gonna do now if you cant own it then p1r4cy inst illegal (dont hate me i dont supprt it) ik im dumb and i cant type
Games don't work like Netflix tho, if you own the game, even a digital copy, you will still have access to it even after its delisted. Your example works more like if you bought game pass for some game and it's got removed from gamepass
@@deathwire7716 my bad idk nice info
is there a way to get gt4 in 2024 on pc? (legally, of course)
Put the GT4 disc in your pc and rip it.
I wonder what you'll find when you search 'Myrient' in Google. 😉
Hoping to find an answer in here to fps drops in the game . Keep getting it in menus especially
Open task manager and look at your CPU threads and GPU 3D rendering. Is anything topping out at 100% during these slowdowns?
@@RowdyGT I’ll check it out , thanks !
@@RowdyGT so far finding nothing . Only the emulator running at 10%. Everything else is low
@@RowdyGT memory is high , around 95%
Strange, I’ve never had issues with memory. Must be a recent problem
WHY DO I HAVE INFINITE MONEY?!?!?!?! HELP
Are you playing on the GT4 Online version?
My game won't launch with these settings or default, it just black screens after the copyright notice :(
Nobody else has had the problem so far so idk what to tell you other than double check your settings
@@RowdyGT maybe under this video but if you Google it there's other people with the problem. I had a bad .iso but it's fixed now.
gracias :3
Thanks for everything over the years dude. This helped a lot :-)
thanks man. your video helped me to improve this great game.
Excelent tutorial, thank's a lot
