IT WAS A HOAX (GTA Ported to PPC!!)

Yes, the game you have wanted to see on Pocket PC is finally here! Some guy just asked for the GTA source code and strangely got it, then ported it! I have run the game on my Toshiba e330, and it runs at an average of 30fps, only slowing down during crashes (but not to an unplayable state). Click on the link below the screenshot to go to the download page.

Whoa, this is good news.
I tried it. Very nice, but I don't like the control layout on the Jornada, so it's a bit hard to play, but otherwise very very cool!
Runs smoothly even with music and SFX turned on.

This is wonderful news for the Pocket PC community - and I'm surprised at just how well the game performs! I've posted a news item on my site announcing its release.

OH MY GOOSES!!!!1 Don't listen to Merril! He has the worst strike-out record in the minor leagues, worse than any other two players combined!!! This game runs even smoother than 30FPS on my iPaq H3955.

I just wish it were released for MIPS so I could play it on my old E-125. IT would look SO GOOD on that screen! *mips*
