    Sounds like memory leak issue. Either bad port or currently VC decompilation project doesn't focus on this part.

    no, vice city is not even considerable playable, it's not done, a lot of buggy and missing stuff that's not meant to be played yet. don't waste your time with it just yet. people saying "needs love from their devs" or posting buggy screenshots don't realise it's still wip, that produces a very negative view for something that's clearly still work in progress and it's sad to see them judging the current quality which is not playable. news sites talking whatever stuff out of their asses (apparently some "eradicatinglove" dude now did the port and not me) don't help in this regard. there's a reason why it wasn't ported, please respect it.

    It ran "smoothly" on my first boot but now it has reverted to the 1-3 frames per second state.

    It was good while it lasted ^_^

    I think the possibility of VC on Switch is getting people worked into a frenzy and willing to tinker to get it working, but that shouldn't be happening here in this thread or viewed as a reflection of your hard work. It's been recognized *on that one site* that you are indeed the creator of the Switch decompilation port of GTA III, which is how worldwide most people will probably find out about this amazing feat. You have done a great service to the Switch scene and I know that myself and many, many, others thank you and eagerly await any updates/bug fixes to GTA III and obviously, when the time comes, Vice City. Patience is a virtue ladies and gentlemen.

    the game won't work for me
    i am trying to use it on my modded lite with SXOS 3.0.4 and emunand 10.1.0
    i go to album ,homebrew menu and the game is not even showing up in there
    i only have 3 homebrew .nro's on here
    gta nx, retroarch and tinfoil ,
    the guy on here who installed my SX lite modderfokker619 put tinfoil on here and i just noticed that it does not work either it shows up though but it throws an error when i try and launch it
    i use strictly xci on here so far
    tinfoil is ver 8.10
    is there something wrong with my SXOS homebrew ? because GTA NX does not show up and i put the re folder in root/switch folder and there is no icon for it , i just see tinfoil and retroarch icons, retroarch works but tinfoil don't work
    also i noticed the guy who installed my chip has been deleted here anyone know why?

    Personally i'd recommend switching to Atmosphere instead since you'll have less problems there and has much more support.

    Thanks for this!

    So, I tried it and it worked really good, three missions and saved game. But now, every time I try to enter, I select "load game" and the load screen shows, but that's it. No response. When I close the NSP it crashes. Tried it with forwarder and with title override. What could be the issue? It worked flawlessly.

    well i figured out why it wasn't showing ,somehow it was inside another folder inside my switch folder
    but now i deleted that one and am using rev 2 with fixed audio
    but now the game will not make it past the intro it crashes every single time right after they show the paddy wagon and police car and i get the error 2168-0002 SX OS crashed and i need to restart my switch lite

    PC version (GTA 3, VC, SA) is a "downgraded" / broken mess technically and with alot of bugs/glitches compared to the PS/Xbox consoles (graphics are the only good thing about the PC releases) and it gets worse if the games (yes, all of them are affected) are running above 25-30 FPS. Even GTA IV is affected to some degree but thats another story. Only with GTA V its a proper GTA release for PC......

    It would be cool if we coould implement all the fixes/patches from Silent:

    First we need to fix as most issues as possible with port-related stuff. Then someone can fork it and make modded version with implemented tweaks

    I'm getting random SX OS soft crashes on this GTA3 port and error code 2168-0002. The console then soft reboots. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My game files are from the Steam version which I legally own and I did run the audio conversion script.

    Amazing work. I swear the Switch is just becoming a portable PS2 what with all the official and unofficial ports, but that's not a bad thing.

    Make sure you run it by holding R and launching an installed title, then run it from HB menu that way. You may be running out of memory.

    Thanks but if I press the R button on the SX OS Homebrew menu then it goes to the SX OS options screen (to enable the FTP server etc, OTA update SX OS etc).

    I can believe this is an OOM error though because it seems to happen after a few minutes of gameplay.
