Grand Theft Auto - Misc

Back to main menu

• GTA London probably had the internal name "GTA2", since in the EXE file we can find a reference to "gta2.pdb"
  
  
• 2. In GTA1 and GTA London, in the graphics pack, you can find some interesting unused graphics,
  for example an "petrol bomb". In the language files, the item is mentioned as:
  [petrol]Petrol Bomb
  Is this item really unused, or is there a secret?
  
  
• In GTA 1, there is a language file SPECIAL.FXT that contains the English offensive language variant.
  The offensive language can be enabled/disabled by the cheat codes "iamgarypenn" and "iamnotgarypenn".
  In GTA London 1969 and 1961, these files are named SPEuk.fxt and SPEuke.fxt
  But there is not cheat to enable them??? You can rename the files to get the offensive language.
  
  
• The female protagonists are only available if the language "English" is selected. Why???
  
  
• You can play GTA Retail & London without CD and still have your music!
  Here is how you do it:

1. Download Magic ISO
2. Rip your original CD into "UIF" files (using Magic ISO)
   Note: UIF files can have data and audio tracks. ISO files can only have 1 track, afaik.
3. Create a virtual Magic ISO drive. The drive letter must be BEFORE any other physical CD drives.
   To change drive letters of your physical drives, go into Disk management in the Windows control panel.
4. Before starting the game, mount the UIF file.
