I mean that has licensed tracks and cars that you can modify in stupid fun ways? The last time I played Gran Tuismo was on a PS3 and I played it so much.

I have purchased a few games over the years, Project cars 1-3, Asetto corsa, Forza Horizon, The Crew 2… all of them were interesting in some ways, but I just miss grabbing a boring car and modding it to stupid power levels and racing it at Laguna seca for example.

    I didn’t even think about trying to emulate. What does it take to do ps3 emulation? Would it run in the steam deck?

      I’m going to frontload a few links:
      https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page Emulation Wiki(very good)
      https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/10/16/steam-deck-emulation-starter-guide/ he has also a YT channel and lots of other guides

      The emulator itself is RPCS3 but you can use probably frontends like Emudeck or Retrodeck to make things easier.
      To obtain the gamefiles you either get them from your modded PS3 or you make a visit to r/roms.

      I dont have a steamdeck so idk how well the GT games would run. It really depends on the game. Demon Souls or Skate 3 probably run just fine. MGS4 on the other hand is really taxing even on the newest desktop hardware. The GT games are probably somewhere in the middle. Check youtube, there are high chance somebody already uploaded steamdeck gameplay.

      Otherwise i cant recommend the GT4 Spec II Mod enough. Upscaled GT4 still looks fantastic and even more so on a handheld screen.
