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.

having the same 3 songs playing over 7 stations is a startlingly good prediction by the pirates, at least in britain, anyway

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.

@@Raymations Similar situation here lmao the only people I've ever seen with official copies of GTA games where I live were the rich kids with high end PCs (at the time) who would buy a new game each month whereas kids like me would have to save up lunch money to buy cheap pirated games and I would play them over and over again till the CDs were literally falling apart.

As a kid I remember playing a copy of Vice City in an internet cafe where all of a sudden the game went into slow motion, the camera turning by itself and I recall hearing that same laughter from that soundback. Scared me hard and to this day I didn't dare to finish VC. Glad I now know the cause of that demonic laughter. For the camera/slow motion thing though I'm still lost.

About the bootleg GTA SA games... Those are frequent in PS2 rentals in Indonesia, since both the console and the game are popular there. Also, most of the bootlegs have the entire story removed and CJ being replaced with pop culture characters, in particular Kratos, SpongeBob, Naruto, Goku and Avatar Na'vi.

Wow, that completely explains why my PS2 copies of VC were always more susceptible to scratches. All it took was for one of the duplicate .img files to be unreadable and the whole game was compromised.

I actually had the San Andreas CD version for PC (that was decades ago) and I remember the game had no voices & no radio sound, it's basically just sound effects. And I think the CD case actually labeled "GTA San Andreas 100% Working"

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.

Bootlegged SA versions are the most common back then and probably even now. My first GTA experience was actually playing the official releases of VC and SA lmao

As a kid I always wondered why the first couple of missions didn't have any sounds during cutscene... guess I know now lol

It's always a great day when Vadim M uploads a video. Always nice hearing Badgers awesome voice.

At the time of GTA3, there was no Modchip that allowed you to play DVDs. So pirated games were on CDs. But at the time of Vice City I already had Messiah2 which allowed me to read pirated DVDs so there was no need to buy pirated CDs

I remember my cousin who lived overseas always bought games from a local video game store and he bought san andreas armagedom, the only thing I remember was the amount of cleo mod scrips that you can find by typing various in button controls, you can spawn vehicles and shoot explosive projectiles, it was so cool but the only downside was that half of the radio stations had custom music while the other half was mute and there weren't any missions, I never tried the game itself on ps2 but I remember he would send me clips of him playing it.

very cool video i i especially like how you didnt only go into the antipiracy measures, but you went into which methods the pirate groups used, to spread the game

Awesome videos as always. Badger and Vadim dynamic duo.

I love this channel. Their videos take longer to be made but you know that when they release, the video will be a banger. Can't wait to see the future videos of yours, specially when GTA 6 eventually comes out.

i remember playing a bootleg version of vice city that had all the cutscenes and radio stations ripped out. i still enjoyed it because i didn't know that it was ripped and, well, i was 8

As an Indian, from our childhood nearly everyone in our country has played this cracked version in pc...no radio, no cutscene audio, etc. We added our own mp3 songs we got from someone else through Bluetooth or downloaded from pirate sites in mp3 folders to listen as radio while driving 😂😂.. We didn't cared about story or what they are yapping about we just wanted to do missions, kills pedestrians and steal their vehicles etc stuff

The first time I played GTA 3 on PC (2008) it was a downloaded copy without any radios whatsoever. I suppose it was done on purpose to fit in a CD. I'm glad that wasn't the case when I first played Vice City a few years earlier, lol.

Finally a high quality video to watch this week ❤

Great watch as always and nice research! Always a pleasure to follow you (guys) and hear about new old GTA things! Cheers.

Another great video, thanks Vadim & Badger.

I remember downloading VC for PC back in the day, and to get it down to something like 300 or 400MB, they took out plenty of stuff, to the point where ambient voices, Rosenberg's comments getting Tommy our of jail, and even police radio chatter was just a rather nasty static noise, ended up just buying a 2nd hand copy off ebay for next to nothing and patched it to not need the disc... :P

That flicking Vice City "You are here" brought me hella back to my childhood

12:03 correct.. there were plenty of cheap copies and mostly broken pirated PS2 games in the Arab States of The Gulf side note.. few modern piracy groups kept alot of games from disappearing. especially when alot of game studios have proven they do not appreciate their own paying customers at all GTA trilogy is one of many examples that shows even game studios would make worse games than the piracy groups you mentioned

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

Oh neat. Ive actually been replaying this on an emulator recently. Luckily i haven't run into any of these. I was unaware any of these even existed, great video!

I like how relentless Rockstar Games were....these pirates were really giving them hell. Imagine your game being cracked 1week before launch...I'd be pissed too😂

this is super interesting, and i believe that i may have had a disc that was so worn out, it failed some of these checks, because i remember my OG copy of vice city eventually became so worn that it behaved this way. I always just chalked it up to a dirty disc. absolutely bonkers.

VC is my favorite GTA game, so I'm always happy when we get a Vadim upload about it!!

Weirdly enough, I've definitely played with the game not being able to read some of the duplicate files. Had a very scratched disc that still worked, but the world barely loaded. I didn't experience the speed up or slowdown, but have fallen through the world into the water many times. Got to the race before the bank heist before giving up on the game.

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.

Another quality upload Vadim!

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.

So basically just Vice City Definitive Edition?
