GTA classic version that rockstar launched seems to have a high-res of 1024x768 while this seems to be the DOS version that only goes to 800x600? 

 

Is there any way to get better resolution? 

 

(by the way gta class problem in my win10 box is that it stutters a lot)

How can I play the IPX multiplayer mode ?
I used to play multiplayer using IPX in the old DOSbox, but that needed some typing to start a server or join one.
I enabled IPX from one of the tabs in this version, now what's left to do ?
Thanks

I am having trouble getting the widescreen patch to work with this version of GTA. Does anyone have any tips that might help me? And thank you very much for making this available. I am having a blast!

Save states are working, but only if you're not using Glide.

One runs in a DOS environment and the other in a Windows 95 environment.

[undergroundvicious 305]

Well, tried everything on my end, but no sucess - always slow on Glide. I used to play GTA 1 on Glide mounting a virtual copy of my cd (.ccd).

 

Glide mode provides only 3 resolutions, and all of them crash the game when I try to change (fixed deleting player.dat)

 

EDIT: it seems FPS is slow only on Glide. On Windows version, frame limiter on locks the game at 23 fps; frame limiter off, locks it at 30. On Glide, FL ON locks at 23, Off locks at 60 - but in a super speed.

 

Have been any of you able to get a 30 fps lock on Glide? Or is it possible only on Windows version?

Why, after completing the last mission in GTA London 1961, game forcibly out to main menu? So conceived or is it a glitch?

[icebox616 0]

Hey. I played all the way through 1961 and now was playing 1969 but after completing the 2nd chapter it just gets stuck on a loop on the 2nd cutscene so I can't get to the 3rd Chapter. Playing the Software version as savestates don't work with the Glide version. Any suggestions? I tried to replace the Cutscene 1 files with the Cutscene 0 files (since it didn't get stuck on that one) in hopes that maybe I could trick the game into proceeding forward but it didn't work. So, the problem must be either an emulation one or a an actual internal code issue. if there is no solution just a warning for everybody playing the non Glide version.

Great work Toshiba-3!

 

I wanted to have a blast on old school GTA - especially London. 1961 is one of the few GTAs I never completed. Launching it shows why - it is insanely difficult with timed missions!

 

I downloaded both Windows and Mac for my bootcamped Mac.

 

However trying to launch the Mac Max Pack comes up with the message:

 

"You can’t open the application “GTA Max Pack” because it may be damaged or incomplete."

 

(I'm on macOS/OSX Sierra if that has an affect?)

 

I had a peek through the package contents, and I already had Boxer installed, so I found the workaround:

- Launch Boxer

- Select 'Browse Your Games'

- Open the package 'GTA Max Pack' (RMC - Show Package Contents - Contents/Resources directory)

- Copy the 'GTA Max Pack.boxer' file into the Boxer shelved finder window

- Optional - Properties and hide extension

 

Brilliant work! The music even works!

 

Minor point about F11 for changing the resolution, as mentioned in the readme - it seems to be mapped on the mac to show desktop. Workaround - CTRL+ESC to exit fullscreen, Emulation-Send Key-F11

 

London 69 Cut scenes seem to work albeit the animation is out of sync with the sound

This worked a charm for me. I'm on macOS 10.14. GOURANGA!

Im stuck on the 2nd cutscene of London 69. 
Anyway to bypass it without using the glide mode? 
Im, trying to do everymission, so im playing on normal mode because of the save states

Start it in Glide mode, do enough missions to get enough points to beat the level and get the cutscene. This will unlock level 3. Then restart the game in software mode and play through each mission in level 2. It won't save your high score if you can't get past the cutscene though.

 

If you want your high score saved, play through the missions in Glide mode. There are no save states, but I finished GTA 1/London 1969/London 1961 a few weeks ago, and London 1969 isn't that hard. When I beat level 4 I played (but didn't beat) all the missions and a few kill frenzies, even though I didn't need to, because I had enough lives left. It's certainly not as hard as San Andreas and Vice City in GTA 1, and far, far easier than its infamously difficult expansion pack, London 1961.

Its not hard but there are big changes that you fail one kill frenzy or one mission, and then there it goes your 100% progress

Isnt there a way to just skip the cutscene, or switch it for another file that isnt bugged?

having the same issue , game freezes except the fact that the lip-sync and audio is lagging and not smooth \ clear ,

 

can we change the file name and will it skip it ?

[MikeMikeMike 0]

Hey guys.

 

What a great version of this GTA. Thanks for this memory.

However, I'm at the last mission of the game (Rasta Blasta), I reached the $5000000 but nothing happens.

I'm supposed to get get the red arrow to give me the direction and finish the game but nothing.

 

Any solution?

[m0b0ss 26]

Never played the London expansions. I'll try it

Hi everyone.
I'm Italian and I'd like to play these chapters in Italian.
So, I am able to set the Italian language for GTA 1 & GTA London 1969 and play both games successfully in my language.
The only problem is that if I set Italian for either one of these two games, GTA 1961 simply won't launch.
I can enter the settings of the game, I can see the in-game settings menu is in Italian, but then it'll close itself along with DOSBox if I try to play.

To do a cross-check I entered 1961's settings after setting "Italian" from GTA 1's settings. I see the UK flag and a white flag. I think this might have something to do with the issue.
Here's a screenshot:

The only way I can make it work is setting English back.
Any ideas? Did someone else experience something similar with another language besides English?
Is there any chance to keep Italian for GTA 1 & 1969 and keep 1961 in English?
Thanks everyone

I have the original games and beat them recently. I just tried to launch the Windows version of London 1961 in Italian, and got the following error: 'Unable to open file: ...\gtadata\uk\itauke.fxt'. II get similar errors for German. French launches, but it's in English. This was installed directly from the 7MB download on the official London 1969 website. I checked the files in the gtadata\uk folder. For London 1969 I found all languages (enguk.fxt, freuk.fxt, geruk.fxt and itauk.fxt). However, for London 1961 I only found enguke.fxt. It seems that London 1961 was only ever available in English, and no translation into any other language was ever made.

 

I don't know why the French version launches. Maybe they accidentally check for the English file when launching the French version. So unfortunately you can only play the game in English. I guess that they never did a translation because it was a free 7MB download.

 

What you can do is copy enguke.fxt and rename it to itauke.fxt. It will allow London 1961 to launch in English with the Italian language option selected. GTA 1 and London 1969 will still be in Italian.

 

If you really want to play the game in Italian you could create a translation yourself. You could copy enguke.fxt and rename it to itauke.fxt. Then use a fxt editor to open the file. You could then translate the script and save it. There are only 7 missions, so there isn't that much text.

Thanks a lot for your test, jm! Copying enguke.fxt and naming it itauke.fxt fixes the issue as you say. I might consider translating it myself eventually.

Do you have any idea why there is a white flag as a second option for '61? When selected, it makes the game crash and return to the launcher. I'd like to make a small patch for this. It would be just a gimmick :)

[jm-9 65]

The white flag is also there in the original London 1961 DOS configuration file, k_61.exe. When I select it the game crashes with 'Error 1: data\japuk.fxt'. So it looks like it's looking for a Japanese language file, but one whose name is in the format used for London 1969 (uk instead of uke). That is very strange, and explains why the flag doesn't display. It's probably looking for the Japanese flag, which doesn't exist in the GTA folder. Also, selecting any language (even English) causes a file with 0 bytes called f*ckU (uncensored and in capitals) to be created in the gtados folder! I don't know if this was a joke or something leftover from development or something else. It doesn't happen with the London 1969 configuration file (k_uk.exe).

 

All of this is further evidence for what I suspected as I was playing through it, that London 1961 was not completely tested before release. London 1961 easily had the worst missions, even though it only has seven. Five of them have ridiculous time limits that pretty much require you to know where to go in advance. Even that isn't always a guarantee.  That's why it's usually regarded as the hardest game in the series. The white flag suggests this further. I suppose that when it was going to be free anyway they didn't really take the time to polish it that they did with GTA 1 and London 1969.

 

The good news is that the game itself is stable. I got no crashes when playing it. Even multiplayer worked (with a unique map based on Manchester).

[fedec96 2]

Thanks a lot jm, for all the help you've offered.

You're right - the game is more than stable and playable and that's amazing for a game like this in 2020. Hopefully Windows 10 will update itself over the time without breaking the charm.

 

The game is clearly unfinished but that's okay. It works!
