Ridge Racer 2, released in Japan as Ridge Racers 2, is an arcade-style racing game developed by Namco for the PlayStation Portable hand-held console, marking the 14th release in the acclaimed Ridge Racer series and also the sequel to the PSP launch title Ridge Racer. It saw release in Japan on September 14, 2006, followed by its October 13 European launch and October 19 release in Australia. Unlike its predecessor a North American release for the title was absent. The game also features a Full Motion Video opening, that shows series mascot Reiko Nagase.
There are two components for playing a psp Ridge Racer 2 game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psp OS and software.
The second component is the Ridge Racer 2 game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest PPSSPP – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading PPSSPP, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the PPSSPPWindows.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Ridge Racer 2. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to PPSSPP and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
