MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Its been way too long we have been unable to save in GTA. Im surprised that nobody has made a save mod yet, especially when there are thousands of modders throughout the series. Is it really that hard? And if it isnt, can someone make it? Im convinced it would be much apreciated by the community. BTW is it true that PS1 players could save GTA? And that you can save GTA with virtualbox somehow? If its true, how hard can it be to make a windows save mod? Edited July 14, 2015 by MaxTunnerX 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sektor 107 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 PS1 only saves between levels, same as PC. If you can run GTA1 in virtualbox then you can save the whole machine state. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) What does the machine state mean? Also, isnt there a program to allow it in windows or something? Edited July 15, 2015 by MaxTunnerX 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sektor 107 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 There's no program for saving GTA1. Machine state means all of the virtual machine memory and registers, it will do what you want if you can run GTA1 fast enough in a virtual machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) But how hard can it be to make a save mod for GTA? I really dont think its something impossible, especially with means there are today. Pity that there is so little activity here. Maybe you know some big animals in GTA modding or some good programmers that could pull it off? BTW, what about the GTA2 save system? It might give modders a clue.

Sektor 107 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) GTA2 save system won't help, it's closed source and it would be easier to write a save mod from scratch. Anything is possible if you can find a talented enough coder with the time and interest. Edited July 15, 2015 by Sektor 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Thats what Im talking about. However, this section of forum seems rather abandoned. I was hoping for more enthusiasm about this matter. Edited July 15, 2015 by MaxTunnerX 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ragered 38 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Certain versions of DosBox have save state ability's now, no need for virtual machines 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Though Id still like to see this feature implemented in the windows version of the game, this looks awesome. Maybe there is a way to use the save state feature for windows applications without dosbox? Edited July 21, 2015 by MaxTunnerX 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTunnerX 8 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ive just found and tried your version of dosbox, and everything works like a charm. It saves literally everything. Now I can enjoy the original GTA until proper mod gets released. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sektor 107 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Now is there a dosbox version with save support AND 3dfx emulation? That would look slightly better than the Windows version. Edited July 22, 2015 by Sektor 1 Link to post Share on other sites
