Cranes in London 1961 seem to give only 100 pounds for every car, which is same glitch Max Pack has (not sure if it's on all versions of London 1961). I'm curious is the glitch also here which causes game to crash when finishing TV Van-mission in the end of 1961, I don't really wanna test it out myself now as you gotta go through the previous missions of 1961 before each attempt of that mission and it's difficult to finish too like all the missions on this dlc, and there are no save states to use either... But yeah, the game is looking and working nicely otherwise

The TV Van mission glitch probably isn't there, as that's only in the DOS versions (both the software-accelerated and 3DFX versions). It's always worked fine in the Windows version. In any case it's easy to test. To unlock it you have to finish some missions (I can't remember exactly which ones), but it's unlocked whether you pass or fail them, so you don't have to beat the really difficult missions of this game to play it.

Well I'll trust it works here, anyway the tv-van mission is also real difficult to complete so I dont really wanna try it before I'm doing that game (trying to 100% all these starting from 1)

Really good work, dude! Straight to the point!

 

The only thing I've missed is the 3DFx graphic option, I've been using DOSBox with nGlide to play GTA 1, London 1969 and 1961 with it, it's the best visuals for me

[Gendalf007]

Thank you so much for this! It's really great! What about "Intro" and any other updates?

[DoofusMan]

Working beautifully so far! And is the best way to play the game I personally found so far. Seems to work much better than the MAXPACK version personally. Can't wait to see hopefully one day your GTA2 version! Especially since right now as soon as I introduce wsfix to either my v9.6 or v11.44 of GTA2 I have, it suddenly seems to corrupt the color palette and gives a yellow-lime tint to most things in-game. (More notably seems like every white pixel, or shade of white, turns into that yellow-lime color in it's equivalent shade. It's super weird.) And I spent literally around 8-10 hours troubleshooting it to hell and back; and never have been able to fix it so far sadly.

Anyways, I digress haha! Me the only issue I found so far with your build seems to be that as soon as I change my volume on my PC it crashes the game. Whether the game window is in focus or not it doesn't matter. But, only triggers the crash once a game is started and I am playing and not when I'm only in the menus of the game! It happens whether I also do it with my volume up or down keys or if I do it in my volume mixer directly, it doesn't matter.

EDIT: Sadly seems changing between any audio device on Windows also crashes the game. Which much more of an issue since with my daily needs I often need to switch between my headphones and my sound system.  

EDIT 2: Had to keep it running in the background to do something with my GF. Was so careful to not make it crash by not changing the volume on the PC or changing audio devices (couldn't even unplug my HDMI cable of my PC to my sound bar to then connect my PS3 so we could continue playing Dead Space: Extraction, since that would have disconnected the audio device and made it switch to my headphones and also probably crashed the game. Decided to instead watch something on the PC. And then suddenly just because as we started watching something I distractingly adjusted the volume like I always do from the keyboard....it frigging crashed the game. I had a super nice run too. I'm just now learning the game and was at 400k points in the first chapter with plenty of lives left and a nice multiplier accumulated.  I'm so bummed out. Really can only play it if I know I won't need to switch audio devices (or disconnect them) at all for any reason and be careful to remember to adjust my volume only physically directly on said audio device currently in use. It's really problematic

Brilliant my friend, absolutely brilliant.

Works flawlessly, that's games from my childhood, played GTA 1, Day One. My gamer mom wanted it too, so... She bought it, what a blast we had back then.

 

I have a question my man. Can I use your version to play on my Youtube channel?

I make no money on that, the channel is not monetized, I only do this for fun and for friends.

 

Thanks for your AMASING work. Download/Unzip/Play. Wow!!! The thing even works with my XBOX One controller. That's SO fun playing with a controller.

 

Thanks again friend.

@DoofusMan
Interesting with the audio, I'll take a look at it.
GTA 2 Edition is ready so far. Just have to test a bit more, is a bit more difficult with the rendering and the compatibility.

[cant remember]

Man GTA1/2 are so old even the R* Classics reissue is too outdated to work LOL.

Looking forward to the GTA2 one too. It's the first GTA I had on PC to myself, while I had to share GTA1 with a friend on his PSX.

Thank you! That would be immensely appreciated!  (Hopefully you'll be able to find a solution )

And awesome! Can't wait to check it out eventually! And no worries take the time you need I understand. Not only for the exact reasons you mentioned but also it's always a good idea to test as much we can before releasing something and not rushing stuff out the door hehe. I appreciate your dedication and passion! It shows! 

(P.S.: Love your pfp btw! Twisted Metal 2 was my all time favorite game as a child! And I used to play a whole lot with Jamie Robert's car "Outlaw II"! )

EDIT: Here are the screenshots of my configs for the game just for the sake of it.

Also a very concise and summarize view of the specs I'm player on:

OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (latest updates)
GPU: RTX 3090 (latest drivers)
CPU: Intel Core Processor i9-12900KF
RAM: 64GB DDR5 6000Mhz

And I'm playing on a 4k Samsumg TV and using the 3840x2160 resolution whenever I can. 
Also whether I use Boom3D as an 3D audio/equalizer software or not (tested both) the issue happens.
And whether I switch from my Vizio "Dolby Atmos" Soundbar 5.1.4 sound system (connected through HDMI) to my Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless (connected both by Optical Cable and USB which among other things makes it possible for me to test the audio connection through one or the other) or vice-versa or whichever one I switch to or from (I tested so much things lmao) it always does the same result (a crash [CTD] within 1-3 seconds at most).
Same if I adjust volume while on any of those audio devices/connections.

Hopefully this data might help you figure things out!

@DoofusMan

I can't reproduce this with the audio device and volume change and the resulting crash of the game, because I don't have such a "special audio setup".

(I'd have to send you something to test via private message.)

@LuKeStorm
Yeah I definitely understand. I should have suggested that now that I think about it 
Especially since, if it wasn't due to something in my setup (which it seems highly likely to be), someone would have reported the issue before me or that you would've caught it long ago before even releasing it 

So yeah feel free to do so! You can even send me your Discord ID if you're on there and would prefer that. It's where I'm the most active and would answer the fastest btw! But I get it if you prefer to keep it on here though too (I'll try to keep a closer eye on things here if so).
I'm familiar with being a tester of hotfixes/patches and etc for a few specialized app devs here and there (Github and Discord Servers (both public and private ones)+DMs mostly) and as you can see already I'm not afraid to do decent issue report writeups when necessary! I'll test as many builds and things that you'd need me to whenever I have the time!

The game works great.

 

The only bug I found is the lack of SFX in the main menu, I can only hear the background music. But if I start the game, then I go back to the main menu, the SFX will work normally.

Edited June 8 by Storm 3000

[LuKeStorm]

@Storm 3000
Yes, thank you for the reminder. I remember the issue and recall it from earlier testing with the version of the Miles Sound System library (hate the old version).
I will try to find a fix.

EDIT
Fixed! I will release a small update with the fix in the course of this day. (CEST)

That's great. It's working perfect so far.

[undergroundvicious]

Sorry, but is the 3DFx graphic option available?

[LuKeStorm]

@undergroundvicious No, 3DFX isn't available

[Krathoon]

Thank God someone has finally got a version of these games that can be conveniently installed on modern systems. Yeesh.

Hi all, 

 

I'm probably missing something massive (being thick) but can anyone think of any reason why the original GTA won't load on this? 1969 and 1961 run perfectly, but the original won't load at all. 

 

Massive thanks in advance!

[GrumpyEgg]

Oh and a massive thanks for making this! It's truly awesome!

Hi Luke! Any chance you'd be doing the same type of project for GTA 2? Loving the GTA 1 and London gameplay so far, it's absolutely stunning.

[BapaLynde]

The launcher exe appears to contain a virus...

 

Edit - I've done a bit of digging and feel happy enough that the 'virus' is a false positive, I'm now having an issue with setting up the controls. the controller (tried a 360 and a generic pad) simply doesn't register either in game or in the settings. 

 

Anyone had this issue?
