[PS2-VC] Vice City Beta Edition

14 Jul 2023, 06:19

For PlayStation™2

Hello everyone, for some nostalgia vibes i saw some beta clips about Vice City, and they looked very interesting. I was wondering what would they look like on real hardware so i tried to convert the Kalvin' Vice City Beta Edition mod to the Sony Console. I have not made it completely so far, but this is a good start, it also demonstrate that VC on PS2 can be modded too.

Currently it's not working on real PS2 hardware, if someone could help and find out what's wrong it would be appreciated.
For now it's working only on PCSX2.

Build is made on the 1.40 NTSC version.

things added:

-The image weights now only 3.1 GB. This is reducted because the game reads 6 identical copies of gta3.img, making the game slower to mod and with bigger size.

-Carcols are the same in Kalvin's Beta Edition mod.

-Wheels were restored, still have to make changes.

-Hud icons are restored along with radar map. I'm still working on the weapon icons.

- MP5-k is now usable in game, even though it has some bugs while shooting.

- Original blue Tommy shirt. Only textures since peds conversions are crashing.

- Original pink-yellow suit of Ken Rosenberg.

- Blue plant pot near Ocean View Hotel

- Beta Cheetah and Cougar (for some reasons those are the only cars working correctly).

-Personally i have never seen proof of it, but it seems Cops had a different texture, i restored it.

-Original vehicle names.

The PCJ 600 was originally simply called the Bike.
The Blista Compact was originally called the Civic.
The Virgo was originally called the Cougar.
The Cuban Jetmax was originally simply called the Cupboat.

The Sanchez was originally simply called the Dirtbike.
The FBI Washington was originally simply called the FBI Car.
