'Grand Theft Auto III' and 'Grand Theft Auto Vice City' have been fully reverse-engineered

Two of the earlier entries to the Grand Theft Auto series have been fully reverse-engineered by a team of modders. Re3 and ReVC are the respective reversed source code for GTA III and GTA Vice City that have been made available to download. Those releases bring new features to those games such as widescreen support, debug menu and improved rendering. They also open doors to future modding and tinkering for those titles and the project has also been ported to the Nintendo Switch, Playstation Vita and Nintendo Wii U.

A few screenshots of those mods in action have also been made available:

The team still has a "to-do" list with features that could be implemented later but you can find the current improvements in the list below:

  • Fixed a lot of smaller and bigger bugs
  • User files (saves and settings) stored in GTA root directory
  • Settings stored in re3.ini file instead of gta3.set
  • Debug menu to do and change various things (Ctrl-M to open)
  • Debug camera (Ctrl-B to toggle)
  • Rotatable camera
  • XInput controller support (Windows)
  • No loading screens between islands ("map memory usage" in menu)
  • Skinned ped support (models from Xbox or Mobile)
  • Rendering
    • Widescreen support (properly scaled HUD, Menu and FOV)
    • PS2 MatFX (vehicle reflections)
    • PS2 alpha test (better rendering of transparency)
    • PS2 particles
    • Xbox vehicle rendering
    • Xbox world lightmap rendering (needs Xbox map)
    • Xbox ped rim light
    • Xbox screen rain droplets
    • More customizable colourfilter
  • Menu
    • Map
    • More options
    • Controller configuration menu
  • Can load DFFs and TXDs from other platforms, possibly with a performance penalty

An installation guide is available in the GitHub repository linked below but you will need to provide your own copy of each game to proceed as the mods require PC game assets to work.

They are scum for protecting their IP, which they are required by US law to do in order to maintain their rights to the property? Are you a troll or just that ill-informed about the adult (read as: non-gamer) world?
last i checked, shutting down charities just because it used a modified version of the joycon logo isn't protecting any sort of IP
nintendo are scum, they're not just protecting their shit, they're just being assholes

last i checked, shutting down tournaments for trying to use a modded version of a game, in order to comply with covid safety rules, isn't protecting their ip

last i checked, most tournament hosts actually pay their winners their awards

that argument is ancient and invalid, try to use another one for once
also if it was required by US law to dmca basically all fan content imaginable, then why does literally every other company not bother? it's only nintendo that go full martial law on fan content

are you a troll or just ill informed of the shit nintendo does?

If you have the Hoodlum version or V2 San Andreas, you have all the songs intact. If Steam version, songs are cut due to copyrights ended. Or has R* extended them for Steam version?
this is a thread about 3/vc right?

i forgot that steam has 2 versions of vice city, one for people who purchased it before a certain date with all of the music intact, and one for those who purchased it after a certain date with removed music

Except it never did get removed even for a newly purchased copy on Steam. This only apply to Steam though, any other digital versions have cut the music. Radio talk start around 1:30

I can confirm re3 works (sorta) on L4T Ubuntu for the Nintendo Switch. Yeah I know there is a direct port for the Nintendo Switch but I still wanted to try to build it

That is false. Copyright, and by extension, intellectual property, is protected by law the moment it is created. You could allow people to pirate said property for 20 years and then out of the blue just start issuing take downs and filing lawsuits and be within your rights to do so. What you're thinking of is trademark law, which doesn't apply here.

improvements, these things are important for the improvements, for example, Doom ports often have a bunch of improvements, like higher resolutions and better controls, there's also the fact some people like playing certain games over and over, and having it on multiple platforms, even esoteric ones, is good for that
To be exact, sourceports are the ones with improvements, regular ports are just the game most of the time

Time for keep sharing those tapes then. I imagine enough people have dumps of it all (not like earlier times in life) that it is not going to be possible to erase it.

Had wondered why such things did not happen on other similar projects.

because other companies aren't dumb enough to try to take down something that's likely covered by fair use
unless it's on youtube
