Im not sure, i use to also be able to play MTA about 6 months ago, but when i retired a week or so ago i couldn't, it said


Invalid EXE:
Reinstall GTA or buy it if you are using an illigal version.

MTA basically checks a hash of the real legal EXE, and if you are using anything different it will refuse you to play. If you do try and use the legal EXE the game will stop you playing, if you use a cracked EXE MTA will stop you playing. The only way you could get arround it is by mounting a mini image or a clone or buying the real thing.

how do i mount a mini image or a clone?

and what do you mean by mounting a mini image or a cloan?

A clone is a non cracked version of the game that has been copied in a certain way, it means that a crack is not needed to play the game, although they are hard to find on older games if not impossible and usually arn't even released if a cracked version has already been released. I've searched for a clone of GTA for a while and gave up as there was never one released, making that path impossible. Meaning your only option left is to buy it, i saw it down the shop a few days ago at £5.99 which hardly breaks the bank.

saving every little scrap for x800xt graphics card, also iw ould go out and buy it if it was impossible to get around it, but its obvious there must be a way.
so what about this mini image, how does this get it to work?
how do i make a mini image?

A mini image is a clone basically, so thats out the window as well. UK Pay is about £6-8 an hour which is about $12-$16 so its less than 1 hours work, hardly going to break the bank on your little X800XT bank saving mission.

lol, no it aint £6 an hour (thats not the national minimum wage) its like £3,50 or somthing.
also i got around it, just apply a v1.1 no cd crack to original unpatched game, then change version to 1.1 in mta, i think that works, it worked for me on one server.

Must have been an unoffical server. Either way i never said the minimun wage was 6£ i said the avarage UK pay is between £6-£8 (I remember it was somthing like £6.32 an hour. Minimun adult wage is something like £4.56, for a minor its £3.56 i think.

Although if you want to continue playing it i would susgest buying it for a few reasons.

1) Its a class game
2) MTA have said they will continue to improve and include extra features that will stop pirate copies working.

i have got a propor copy today, i bought it from gamestation, the game works perfect on single player, but when i try to play it on MTA it will not start, it says somthing about the executable.

i press start game, and, i hear a beep again, and i cant get onto the game.

Have you applied any cracks or anything? Maybe you need to update the game?
