About

Midnight Club II is a 2003 Rockstar racing game for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows, set in Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo. OpenMC2 is a bottom-up rewrite of Midnight Club 2 that uses the original game binary for functions not yet reimplemented, intended to allow large-scale bug fixes and new features. The author has declared the project abandoned.

Getting started

You need Midnight Club 2 installed; place the OpenMC2 executable and DLL next to the original game's executable and launch from there. Building requires Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 or later, and on Linux and macOS running it through Wine is the supported route.

History

The author stopped work after years with few outside contributions, citing Take-Two's lawsuit against a similar Grand Theft Auto reverse-engineering project as a further reason; any restart would be a from-scratch rewrite under a new name.

Known issues & limitations

platform: Project is abandoned; native support for Linux and macOS is not available, only Wine support is recommended.

Requires original assets. Requires Midnight Club 2 to be installed; OpenMC2 uses the original binary in place of not-yet-implemented functions.
