Gta Vice City on Linux

Home     GTA San Adreas On Linux
First let's make sure you do have either a dual boot  machine, or and hard drive with your install  of each game , on it.

I of course am doing this from my windows partition, but do not doubt using usb type portable thumbs,which is kinda cool.

 I will work this week with grand theft auto vice city .
Ok, Let's go get some    Wine . you are going to need it.


 Next you might need what I needed Flex , I use RPM Bone because I am not going to spend a day trying to learn how to build a package when I can 
just do a search. Well whatever. If you get a notice that you need to install anything, the bone will help you, just select the right distro and you are
 good to get.. another File i needed was BISON.. two seconds  three tries the rpm went well.

 Now when you begin the wine install with this command " ./tools/wineinstall " go get a soda or beer  or what ever, you might wanna grab a
 couple, this sucker takes a while, but look up from time to time it asks a yes or no and asks you to type in admin pass.

 You now need the no cd crack, I can not legally point you there, but if you are resourcefull you can find it.. Please do the world a favor and scan 
the file with THIS and THIS, just to be sure you are not an idiot.

 When you navigate to the location, which for me is /disks/C/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto Vice City where I have the game 
installed, the command is "wine gta-vc.exe" and your screen will go all win 95 looking in the crummy resolution sense. It will take a few
 minutes, you might want to hit the enter button to get it to start, it's a tad freaky.

When game starts, look at the cars and think about vice city stories and liberty city stories and how amazed you where about the glossy cars...

Do you now see how cheap it was when they did it? LOL.. cool ehh ?

 Will update later when I get done transferring the audio files from cd to install directory.. not all audio is working for me just yet.

Ok you might get an error like this one

err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Please run winecfg, open "Audio" page and set

"Hardware Acceleration" to "Emulation".

wich tells you that you are not getting car motor sounds and peds sounds... well.

If you do that you will get those sounds back.. but at a cost... no radio and when you exit game.. dear god it's a loud noise Screen Shot in game

Man I swear debian and rockstar should cut a deal. a disc with all gta games on it current from

gta 1 - gta vice city stories all bundled in a linux distro disk full blown o/s skinned to reflect gta with all

games installed during the install, but teh disk costs 200-250 dollars, and fedora gets 10% or some shit. and wine gets 5%.

Three months of hype ad pre-notification that let�s everyone know that they need to have a fresh hard disk or freshly formatted harddisk or a

large enough disk to duel boot.. because you know the idiot factor �..

Hell I am sure some people would buy the grand theft auto computer

for $200 more than market price because it has the games preinstalled.
