Lost my DVD

I've got a no-cd crack, I actually want to run the game in its
original, un-cracked, un-hacked state to check whether a crash problem
is related to the no-disc crack! I genuinely /don't/ want any warez
this time!

Bah, that's what you get for faffing around with the PC versions.

Time to dust off & boot up the good old PS2 version again (+play with a
REAL controller)?

Though, after having posted my previous message, I remembered
having seen some sort of adaptor for the PS2 which lets you use a
keyboard and mouse for ego-shooters.

Here it is, the Smartjoy Frag:

The german magazine "PlayZone" reviewed it, found it working
perfectly and raised the question if this would give the users an
unfair advantage in online games.

You're right. I have PS2 and PC versions, as well as Xbox version. Right now
I play on the Xbox, but I miss the PS2 controls.. Helicopters are weird to
control on Xbox. And pressing white+black buttons to look behind, is really
hard (would require a big thumb, to do it with one finger). And doing
drive-by's, is also very akward - you don't have enough fingers!!! :-(

Can you use a PS2 comtroller with the Xbox, and have PS2 controls in GTA..??
Anyone?

I thought there exist converter cables. Auntie Google may help.

Can you get these for a PAL PS2? I was considering installing one due
to the load times on some of my existing games (And quite a few new ones
when it comes to that).

I'll have a good old look later on. I think there's a few documents on
Gamefaqs under the 'Hardware FAQs' menu about extra peripherals.

Oh, and I didn't spot that the keyboard/mouse wotsit plugs into the
*controller* port until after I posted. It's time for the wet fish
again for Robbo )


Cheers,
Rob

I'm sure R* has some media replacement policy for a low cost, as long as you
can provide proof of purchase...
