ByteMare, sorry I am wanting to backup a PC version (not playstation).

Krondike, reading your guide it seems Alcohol 120 is the best solution to my problem (but that presents another problem - $$ to purchase the software).

gh0sth@cker, you suggest I "update to v1.1 of GTA3". Does this involve using i6comp to replace the gta.exe in cab2 file? Most importantly, where do I obtain the update "GTA3 v1.1" from? Do you mean patch 1.1? Please explain to me if you can the GTA update.

Thanx

If you want to update to v1.1, just go to the official website and download the patch to 1.1. This will replace the exe with the new updated one.
Then the protection is removed.

If you wish you slipstream the update into the install (so that you dont have to apply the patch after you install it each time), then use i6comp to replace the old gta3.exe with the new one in the cabinet file.

Whether or not you want to go to this effort is up to you.
