The new Grand Theft Auto 3 Dreamcast port is an astonishing achievement


A homebrew, reverse-engineered GTA3 port is available for Dreamcast - and it's a remarkable technical achievement.

| Image credit: Digital Foundry The initial release was optimized for use with the GDEMU optical disc emulator but I don't own one of those, so I opted for a burnt CD-R. After all, years later, the PSP game Liberty City Stories was ported to PS2 and there I made a pleasant discovery: the overall visual quality and performance was boosted significantly on an updated version of the GTA 3 map. The game is mostly playable as is, though there's currently a progress stopping bug in the Bomb da Base mission which makes it impossible to completely finish normally right now - but that will also be fixed going forward.
