Homebrew re3-wiiu - GTA III Wii U Port

[Deleted member 323844]

Here's a video, if anyone is wondering how it works.

@GaryOderNichts Awesome work thank you. I really hope some one like Modern Vintage Gamer picks this up and does a video! Have you got a list of known issues with GTA3 that you are looking to work through? Likewise do you know anyone that has completed the game on this port?

Keep up the great work - the WiiU lives!

I don't think there are significant issues in the re3 port, other than some framedrops and fixes that haven't been merged from the main repo.
Multiple people in this thread completed the game on the Wii U.
I will release an updated re3 build once the Vice City port is fully polished.

Yeah, re3 is in a pretty great state on the Wii U I'd say. You definitely have a handle on what you're doing. I'm hoping Liberty City Stories might be on the agenda next when you feel this build is polished? I know that it too has been receiving the same treatment that 3 and Vice City have seen in the homebrew scene over the last year or so.

reLCS is currently still being reverse engineered and is not in a fully playable state. I'll wait until it's fully stable and playable before I look into porting it over.

Ah, gotcha, guess I thought that build was already out for some reason. Wonder if they'll move on to Vice City Stories after that.

I hope GTAModding can add the Edison Carter's Cheat Engine features to the reLCS engine. They were a blast back in the PSP days. I still have the Pimp My Ride database and all the user-made content backed up.

Minor problems I have seen: LOD models in cinematics seem weird, I have to compare them with the original game, and sometimes particle alpha effects (rain on screen) are opaque.

I'm currently looking into fixing all the issues you mentioned. I don't really see the issue with LODs though. Any screenshots you could provide for comparison?

Hello I'm having an issue and I couldn't find any answer through the 15 previous pages, so here's my problem : the radio stations are all mute, with no exception. I'm playing gta3-re3 channel version on Wii U and I don't understand why I have this problem. Everything else works fine. I've tried copying the files from a legal and a "not so" legal version of GTA3, but every time, no matter the version I use, the radio stations have no sound. Can you or anybody help me ?

My apologies, you are right. Last time I played I must have been using some mods since I have checked a longplay and reVC models seem correct.

Good day Gary, are you will be able to give us the channel installation for reVC in the next release please. Thanks

Amazing work!

@GaryOderNichts Have you tried running it in 1080p? I wanted to change the resolution and build it myself but I've always been terrible at being able to build stuff and its no different with this project. I was really curious about the performance of 1080p or maybe even 900p.
Thanks for the hard work, the port is very nice! Looking forward to reVC-wiiu

Yeah, the full release will have channel support.

I'm thinking of adding support for changing resolutions in a future release.

That would be even better!

I got a problem. I installed the wup in the Nand and I got an error after waiting 3 hours to load the textures. The error says that I don't have enough space in my disk to save the settimgs or something like that. I have 2GB free on my Wii U.

You most likely don't have enough free space on your SD card then.

Due to a lawsuit by Take-Two against the main repository, I'm not interested in any further development and deleted the re3-wiiu GitHub repository.

Thanks for all the support over the past few months.
