GTA 1 No CD patch

[RincewindTheWiz]

Now we're getting somewhere. Which OS are you trying to run it under ? I take it some kind of Windows version, then you're supposed to use the windows version crack. But the 3dfx version uses a 3dfx card to make the game look a lot nicer. I don't know whether that will run under Windows though and you probably don't have a 3dfx card so that would require a Glide emulator. I think we better use the windows version. First, copy the "GRAND THEFT AUTO.EXE" to a safe place, since we're going to change it and we need a backup just in case.

Let's try the first crack, this should be "GTACDCRK.ZIP", I take it you've already downloaded it ? In there is a "gtaw-c.exe", extract that file to the gtawin directory, so it's in the same directory as "GRAND THEFT AUTO.EXE". Now run that "gtaw-c.exe". Hopefully it'll report that the patch succeeded, if anything went wrong tell me what the programs says. If it succeeds, try "GRAND THEFT AUTO.EXE" and see if it works.

Try all this and with a bit of luck it'll solve it, otherwise we'll try something else.
