Can anyone help me? I've looked up and down the boards and can't find anything. :(
When you installed, did you choose a FULL install? You need to install all the files to your hard drive so the game doesn't try to access data from the CD.
It asks for the first file listed alphabetically in the audio directory of CD2 right? Well, I have the purchased retail version of GTA Vice City and I entered D:\ obviously change the drive letter accordingly.
this happened to me to - the crack in the d/l doesnt work, i got one off the net somewhere
just go to Suprnova.com and download off of there like i did months ago..i just use kazaa now for music downloads, i dont reccomend it for huge downloads due to the file is going to be either fake or its going to take fucken a whole month to download even on a damn cable connection..
Find a game rip website. I just downloaded GTA VC under 5hours.
And, as for mp3s, Kazaa wouldn't exactly be the best. It's hard to find kpop music using kazaa. Either no sources or you cant even find the song <_<
I installed everything from my HD. I tried both full and without the radio. Still same thing happens. Any other tips?
From what I know it only checks for the 2nd cd which .iso did u download? Another thing try installing from cd
how would u go about using supernova?? :)
go 2 HERE and download bittorent then go to www.suprnova.org and click on the link of the file u want to download and it downloads it 4 u
***MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR DOWNLOAD OPEN FOR ATLEAST AFEW HOURS AFTER YOUR DOWNLOAD IS DONE*** otherwise people will have no sources to download from
Yes, check the verified for the FLT-VCA/B versions, i have them.
is there? if so, where can i get it?
if there is one, and its needed, gamecopyworld
will have it
i looked on game copy world once, and just checked again, I am almost positive its not on there. There is a vice city page, but it just has cheats and saves
At the end of the install it asks you for the first CD again but it should never ask for it again after that.You just put the second CD in while playing it,mine works mint.
still dont work
any other ideas?
I dont put any cd's in when i play it.After my install it asked for 1st cd again to finish installing,have never had to put in any cd's since,to play it.Quote:

EDIT: For some reason my thread has been posted twice. Sorry about this. A mod will surely delete when he/she can.
In advance, sorry for adding the to building junk pile of Vice City topics.
I recently downloaded the two .bin files for vice city called "FLT-VCA.BIN" and "FLT-VCB.BIN" and, like many other people i've seen on this forum, I have had a problem installing the damn thing.
I load up Daemon tools, and select the VCA.BIN file, and voila, setup begins. It asks if I want to install the radio station, I click yes, and continue. about 40% into installation an error message reads:
Component: GTA: Vice City
File Group: App Executables
File: H:\data2.cab
Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)
So, I restart the installation, this time deselecting the radio station, and click "install". About 50% into installation and THIS message shows...again:
Component: GTA: Vice City
File Group: App Executables
File: H:\data2.cab
Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)
Many people have had the same problem, but no direct answers have been given.
If you are one of those with this problem, please reply. If you know the answer to this problem.....obviously....please reply :)
the BINS are probably corrupted!
download CDmage to scan for corruption
OK so it found 57 "errors".
what does this mean? can it be fixed?
EDIT: Oh and by the way the Bin files I got were from within the vice city verified hash topic HERE
scroll down and it should be there.
Does this not mean the files were verified and they should work?
use CDmage and iam sure ull fix ur problem i had same problem.
but i have another problem, when i install them usinf virtual drive it fine but when i burn them in cd and want to install it give me error about some README file i have try this on many pc and with diffrent cd's but same :angry:
allright then how do i fix it?
It showed me 57 errors, so i right clicked each error and chose "rebuild sector", which it then said successfully rebuilt 1 of 1 sector, and I done this for every error, then I "extracted" to desktop, and the new file was a .TAO file, I used this with Daemon and the error now reads "catastrophic failure".....even with the original FLT-VCA.BIN now?
how do i fix the file with CDmage people.
Start Cdmage> Click File> Open
Choose Action> Scan For corruption
once complete,
Click Action> Rebuild Sector Fields
once complete, close.
Now you should be able to mount - install. If no luck then your bin file may have been corrupted during download leaving the file useless. ;)
I'm not familiar enough with CDmage to tell you how to use it to fix the bin, but I do know that you can use KCF to redownload the sectors that CDmage reports errors on. Be sure to read the last paragraph of the page 'Finding Corruption' as well as the whole 'Using KCF' page, if you want to use it :).
Nah, forget this, U need knowledge on like 3 programs just to get a file to install...no thanks.
If anyone who has downloaded Vice City would like to give links to programs they downloaded it on, how to download vice city, the name of the files..... that would be great......all I want is to play this damn game and there is nothing but problems
I got my full Vice City isos off Supernova's Bittorrent site; http://www.suprnova.org/ . If you've never used Bittorrent before, just download the program, ( http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/ has a good one,) install it, then find what you need at Supernova or wherever else you decide to use, click on the link for what you want, and wait for it to download. The version linked on Supernova's site works perfectly with no errors.
can some one help me wiv this cd mage in, i badly wana find out how 2 get it 2 work
please please please some one go through step by step 2 it im stoooooopid :rolleyes:
bump

With cd mage i found 57 errors....and for each error (or "sector") I chose rebuild. and i ran the error search again and it found no errors, but now when i run installation it comes up with a "catastrophic error" now............I didnt even save the changes i made.....maybe I was sposed to make a backup first.....
Does rebuilding the sectors damage your file in anyway or cause it to not work?
i have the same errors but i have the copies of the both cd's..so i can't repair the disk 1 with cdmage..does anybody knows another program???

Maybe a mod could merge them if they get too much.
