The game is best played at 720x480. The App above will let you change the resolution temporary to 480p. To install in project eris copy the changeres480 folder to /media/project_eris/etc/project_eris/SUP/launchers
for Autobleem copy it to /media/Apps
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: /media/ is your usb drive.

To revert back to 1280x720 simply power off and restart the console. I also included a extra folder that has more resolutions to choose from such as 720x576, 720p and 1080p. You can move or copy the folders to the App folder

For Project Eris extract the re3 archive and copy the gta3 folder to /media/project_eris/etc/project_eris/SUP/launchers

For Autobleem users extract the re3 archive and copy the gta3 folder to
/media/Apps

Dump your copy of GTA3 into the gta3 folder. You can get the installed files from steam or from Programs Files if you installed it from disc. When it ask to overwrite files select "Skip these files".
Once done you can launch it from the Project Eris Carousel or Autobleem Apps menu.

For Project Eris extract the reVC archive and copy the gtavc folder to /media/project_eris/etc/project_eris/SUP/launchers

For Autobleem users extract the reVC archive and copy the gtavc folder to
/media/Apps

Dump your copy of GTAVC into the gtavc folder. You can get the installed files from steam or from Programs Files if you installed it from disc. When it ask to overwrite files select "Skip these files".
Once done you can launch it from the Project Eris Carousel or Autobleem Apps menu.

Note that if you launch it now it'll produce corrupt textures. it's a issue with mipmaps. to fix it I used a program called Magic TXD to reconstruct the gta3.img archive.

here's the settings I used to convert: https://i.ibb.co/gtrW9qv/magictxd.jpg

Basically create a temp folder on your PC and copy the gta3.img and gta3.dir files from the models folder, open Magic TXD and goto Tools, Mass convert. And point it to the temp folder containing the gta3.img and gta3.dir files. Set the Platform to PC and Game to GTA VC

Uncheck everything except "Clear Mipmaps", "improve filtering", and "Reconstruct IMG Archives.
Click Convert and it'll generate a new gta3.img and gta3.DIR file.

Copy the new gta3.img and gta3.DIR files to gtavc/models. Overwrite it if you have to. If the folder contains a txd.img and txd.dir file delete it. Now launch the game and it'll convert the textures properly.

Getting GTALCS to work is a bit involved. It's slow, has a lot of bugs and crashes often as it was left
in a unfinished state. If you want to mess with it, I got it to work by following this guide:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2665805954

Basically download lcs_dist.7z: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/lcs_dist.7z
extract and dump it into the gtalcs folder.

Then you need to copy the AUDIO folder from the PS2 disc over to gtalcs. I use daemon tools to
mount the ISO. After that they want you to copy some files from Vice City. So from your gtavc folder
copy "Mss32.dll" and "mss" folder to gtalcs, then finally copy "vbdec.asi" from the gtalcs folder
and paste a copy to the "mss" folder.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬
ctrl+m = debug menu
reset = exit game

I suggest using a analog controller. If you're using the standard PlayStation Classic controller, set the game options to "Classic" controls. You can also use a keyboard.

To play your own mp3s, copy your music in the mp3 folder and change the radio station to MP3 Player

Create a folder named RB_PATCH on the root of your Autobleem USB, place the mod file in there. It'll install when you launch Retroarch. The install directory is located at /media/retroarch/apps/compat
