GTA 1 Directors Cut - is set of complete games serie GTA 1 with all stuff included as one package inside.

This installer contains the original Grand Theft Auto, prepackaged with DOSBox and all expansion packs.

Just run "GTA1-Directors.exe" and select a game from the launcher program.

Features
~~~~~~
- Supports save states (ALT+F5 save ALT+F9 load)
- Working cutscenes in 1969
- Sharp, aspect-ratio correct output
- Smooth switching between fullscreen and windowed mode (ALT+TAB)

Notes
~~~~~
- Director's Cut Steam covers available on SteamGridDB
- Not compatible with nGlide. If you have nGlide installed and the game freezes, uninstall it.
(You can still copy nGlide’s files over to individual game folders by extracting them from its setup file using 7-Zip)
- You can only load a save state once you're in-game. Quick saves persist after closing the program, but trying to load one from the menu will result in a crash. Just start up any level first and your saves will work.

GTA by it's original authors: by DMA Design
Whole package work all-in-one: by original author.
Installer: by Sany023.

Yes, I was checked, using Xbox 360 Gamepad.


P.S. But still do not understand - what's difficulty to download installer and check by myself.
I tried it with my controller and it didn't work in the game. My controller "supports" XInput but it's a cheap offbrand one that doesn't work in a lot of games. So I wanted to make sure if it was my controller's problem or the game just didn't support XInput.

And even in such case my anwer can be useful just partially.
Because with using Xbox 360 gamepad - all is working, but with your's pad - no.

May be you are just decide to use universal for most amount of old games Xbox 360 pad instead of those pad, that you are have now ?

Need For Speed IV Modern Bundle - is modification with modern additions of game Need For Speed IV.

What's new?
Changes in the nfs4.exe:
- Based on the version 4.50 of the nfshs.exe.
- Fix for the "PatchRestart" problem (command line parser didn't initialize a local variable).
- Fix for "Your hard drive has less than 1MB free space" error.
- The game reads system settings from ini file now. No more registry!
- At first, the game tries to find the ini file with the same name as a executable file name (e.g. nfshs.ini for nfshs.exe). If it is not found, nfs4.ini will be used.
- Internal heap memory limit was extended from 26 to 64 MiB. It have to solve “Out of memory” problem on some rare cases. Also you can control it by OwnHeapLimitMb ini setting (it may be from 32 to 512).
- No more "Render_GetTm() raM out of raN" error for high poly cars. Corresponding buffer is increased from 2 MiB to 8 MiB.
- Suppressing of displaying Windows Error Reporting dialog on fatal errors is disabled by default. So if something go wrong you will know about it. But you can enable suppressing of error reporting via NoErrorReporting setting in the ini file.
- Don't change state of Num Lock/Scroll Lock/Caps Lock.
- Fixes for hardware detection function. Original game by mistake tries to simplify intro video graphics for modern computers because internal benchmark thinks that it is 166MHz processor (signed integer, result of benchmark too big and it is treated as negative). This benchmark was replaced to cpuid which sees processor family (i586/i686 or newer), support of MMX/SSE/SSE2, and in result calculates class of processor which is used by game for choosing default settings and deciding which level of video quality user will see.
- Compact cop's speeds table. Now it looks like the standard opponents list.
- Structure of files of renderers was changed. All renderers are stored in the “drivers” directory, each renderer in the own subdirectory, the name of which is used as a value for the ThrashDriver ini setting. This subdirectory have to contain DLL file of the renderer and thrash.ini file with information about this renderer (File and Type are required fields, type may be d3d, voodoo, or software). This change allows to save several different Glide API emulators to neighbour subdirectories and use them when needed without file replacement.
- The game doesn't try to make own window active permanently. It is very useful for the nGlide's windowed mode.
- NoMovies ini setting which allows to disable intro movie and demo movies.
- SingleProcAffinity setting which allows to bind the process of the game to one core of your CPU. Temporary solution for the problems with the deadlocks.
- All renderers can use any DLL wrappers from the own subdirectories on the Windows XP SP1+.

Changes in the menu files:
- The “NFS4 website” button was replaced by the options button.
- “Download car” buttons were removed (they don't work for a long time).

Changes in the dx6a.dll renderer:
- Based on the original d3da.dll from the NFS4 (uses DirectX 6).
- Fixed a crash when system supports too many texture formats. (Thanks Dege.)
- Restored fog support on the modern systems.
- Resolutions count limit was extended up to 100.
- Dithering is disabled by default in the 16 bit modes.

Changes in the dx7a.dll renderer:
- Based on the dx7z.dll from the Motor City Online.
- Dithering is disabled by default.
- Resolutions under 640×480 are hidden.

Changes in the voodoo2a.dll renderer:
- Based on the original voodoo2a.dll from the NFS4 (uses Glide3x).
- Loads glide3x.dll from the own subdirectory.
- Resolutions are sorted in order.

Changes in the softtria.dll renderer:
- Based on the original softtria.dll from the NFS4.

Few words from me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of my favourite games, do not matter, that it was raw, unfinished, much more weaker in many aspects then rival GTA or whatever, and want also mention "highest difficulty in balance of many missions", but still ... too much own time was spended earlier, while playing this "strange gem".
I am was glad to find, that modders do not forget this game and make a "Definition Edition" for Driv3r.

Sincerely want to share for those, who also has a few cool moments with game earlier ... And want to refresh this emotions again.

Just want to share with all mates in evoweb a bit better re-worked project of Need for Speed III for modern PC, called Need For Speed III Modern Bundle.
It's not my work, but I have a nice emotions, linked with playing NFS III earlier and want to make it available for all, who also liked this racing game.

What's new?

- Adequate support for widescreen and high resolutions. The game runs smoothly at 1920x1200 and other resolutions without distorting image proportions.

- Car graphics have been improved. At maximum settings, other cars now have twice the texture quality, wheels always spin, and mirrors and other elements never disappear (this was caused by displaying inferior models when there were more than two cars in the frame).

- The rearview mirror draw distance has been increased. At maximum settings, objects no longer disappear as early as before.

- The stunning fog effect and headlight beams now work when rendering via Direct3D 6. In the original game, these effects only worked on 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards via the Glide API or when using Glide API emulation with wrappers.

- Improved support for 3dfx Voodoo / Glide API. The Glide API didn't support widescreen resolutions at all, so to overcome this limitation, the Glide API was expanded in collaboration with the author of the nGlide wrapper. nGlide 1.04.2, which supports this extension, is included in the archive.

- Portability. The game no longer accesses the registry for settings; all system settings are stored in an INI file next to the game executable (it must have the same name as the executable file).

- Several optimizations have been added. For example, the game no longer copies music files at each launch and reads them directly from the source directory, saving time and 10 megabytes of SSD storage per launch.

- Dozens of bugs and shortcomings from the original version have been fixed. For example, the loading indicator is now much smoother.

- Many compatibility issues with modern Windows that interfered with the game have been resolved. New system settings have been added.

- Over a hundred changes in total. See the readme file for details.

FIFA 2005 initially gave me the graphics card acceleration error but dgVoodoo2 sorted that out. Still trying to get my controller working.

I wonder Sany, what kinda Winter Olympics games you got?
