My first experience with GTA was the ripped version of Vice City, no radios and no cutscene audio. And I finished the game like that countless times, same with San Andreas. Boy I was BLOWN away when I finally got the play the full versions of these games and realized how much I was missing out.

my first experience with GTA SA on PS2 was a shitty one, my disk had an error that made the game freeze at a random time, could be after i left the grove st. home or later. I didn't have the chance to play it fully until i got my first laptop, where i downloaded a heavily ripped version of it (Kapital)

So you are probably young. In 90s there were "ripped" versions of games that you could buy on floppy discs (later CDs). Dunno if it was the case in a different countries, but in Poland you could buy any game at market. Of course floppy discs were expensive. So they "ripped" all the games. What does it mean? Game had zero sounds, zero cutscenes, no pictures in loading screens etc. Crazy times but that was a standard and you see that sort of in that video.

Impressive work from pirates to actually fit the games in tiny disks, just goes to show you can't really stop piracy because its not a choice in most countries where piracy is popular. Especially back then, buying games outside of certain parts of Europe and America was extremely hard, they would be overpriced due to conversion rates, tax and profit margins from the sellers. It was hard enough to buy a console, so buying games on top of it was an impossible cost for many, anti-piracy software eventually gets cracked and only hurts people who can't really afford the game.

When I was a kid all my games were pirated because was more easy and less expensive then getting the original, all my ps2, xbox 360 and pc games were pirated and I only got my first original game like in 2016 on steam because it was less expensive than buying a ps4 or xbox one and then the games... But even now are still people that consider pirating games around here because some games price are almost half of a minimum wage. Sorry for my broken english ^^'

I'm willing to bet that most of the entire GTA fan base worldwide are actually playing pirated copies. If you ever see someone play GTA on a PC in a Third World Country, 90% of the time, they are using a pirated copy to play the game. It's why Rockstar Games always releases these games on consoles first where cracking them is much harder than on PC.

I think now I understand why the old scene releases of the GTA Trilogy never had any music or voice. It was always something that bothered, I had bought San Andreas on PC (physical) but I wanted to mod it and couldn't because it was the 2.00 version. So I went for a scene release but they all had missing music/voices. Vice City was the same. It seems like they were meant for CDs after all.

The funny thing about anti-piracy measure is companies will spend a bunch of time and money adding in all these measures to stop pirates but in the end 99 percent of people who pirate the game will never even experience them because they get patched out almost immediately before the game gets uploaded online. I remember when Sonic Mania was actually delayed so they could add in more copy protection measures.....it was cracked only 8 days after launch! lol

Finding a very broken file that's sorta readable will most often still have the measures able to read that the file is labelled properly and in the right spot, it just keeps missing little bits. The anti-piracy measures aren't just looking to see if it can't read it, it's looking to see if the disc originally said those things should be in those spots basically, by reading headers. Your PS2 knew that was a good disc, it had the headers saying "All this stuff is here don't worry boss" but when it actually goes there, it misses things. If it never found that message saying "Stuff is here" it would assume its pirated.

I have the PC bootleg release of GTA 3 somewhere in my parents house. It was basically a whole game tucked into CD you had to copy and paste to your Computer, and it came with no cd crack. It had no radio stations (to be expected), and the intro movie didnt work (had the sound, but no video played). But! Cutscenes worked, and had sound, all characters had their voices, and the game had Nothing else cut. Best thing is, all files were less than 300 MB, I believe around 260. The Vice City bootleg from 2003 I had (for PC) was simply distributed on 2CDs, Just like official release. Had Nothing cut from the game, all of the videos, music and speech was there. Even had to keep CD2 in the drive to play. Sadly I dont believe I still have it, since a few years later I bought an official re-release on DVD. Had never any San Andreas bootlegs, owned OG release since the beginning.

The first one I saw was a Sonic mod which replaces CJ with Sonic but the model was do stretched out to have the same height as CJ but you can still able to change his haircut and clothes to have CJ. There's even a cheat code to have Super Sonic with a flying script included. In some countries such as Mexico also sells modded GTA SA for PS2 because there was another one that had Vegeta for a odd reason since modding videogame consoles and pirated Physical Media are legal there

The first measure (game speed tied to CPU performance) is also the reason why some old games runs sped-up in modern hardware, the CPU is too fast! There were turbo buttons in some PCs to combat this, it slowed down your CPU in order to resolve such inaccuracies.

I know Rockstar failed hard with these measures, because I pretty much played bootleg copies of the 3 GTAs in the year they got released with no cuts like these CD versions, it was pretty much a dvd r with the entire game, I never even heard that they had a pirate version on a cd before this video.

I remember playing a version like that of GTA SA but in PC, no radio, no audio in cut scenes, that was at least 16 - 18 years ago.

if i was sony i would do one of 2 things to optimize instead of redundant files. 1. custom design the drive to be much higher speed than what was out there for the pc. 2. design the laser assembly to be a bar like the scanner bar on all in one printers where they can switch lasers without having to move any pickup. 3. add a generous size of ram (since the console is already expensive the larger buffer could be justified) 4. have an internal hard drive in witch the game would be copied to and streamed off the hard drive but still require the disk for authentication so you could not buy the game and pre load it and return it if it was a rental (yes some movie rental stores had video games too). or the checksum corrupter was removed because of outcry among the internal beta testers.

My first experience of GTA VC was a bootleg as well. No cutscenes and no audio and a drastic reduction of the storyline. (The final mission will be unlocked after you finished mission 'Rub Out'.

I wonder if Rockstar failing to actually test anti-piracy measures is why they're so legally aggressive with modded stuff now.

It's funny that even Badger knows that some European and Arab states/province back then got 99% copied games. I guess I now know why I was only getting those PS2 games real cheap... It was fun anyways :D

I remember these game rips, back in the day i downloaded a gameRIP of Sonic Adventure for PC. It had only 1 song playing for the entirety of the game, i think they do that for both fitting on a CD and for people with slow internet (which was the majority back then).
