Game description: From the decade of big hair, excess, and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and is the most varied and complete digital city ever created. Combining nonlinear gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with seedy opportunities and are given the chance to take it over as you choose. Take control of a variety of vehicles including high-performance cars and motorbikes, powerboats, golf buggies and helicopters. Browse through the radio stations, with styles ranging from rock to electro to find a sultry melody or pumping beat to suit your mood. No matter what type of man you are, Vice City is always full of surprises.

Trivia

• Original names: グランドセフトオート: バイスシティ (SLPM-65488) & (SLPM-66034) & (SLPM-66790)
• Widescreen crops the top and bottom of the 4:3 image, meaning less visible viewing area than when played in 4:3.

Known Issues

Trails

• Type: Not an issue
• Description: A trail may appear on objects such as car lights that looks like ghosting.
• Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.

Ghosting

• Type: Not an issue
• Description: When trails are enabled in display, subtle ghosting(By ghosting, i mean a small transparent refraction of the enviroment including NPCs and Tommy) is present, it isn't major, but it's really irritating when you look at it, this is likely intentional
• Workaround: Disable the trails

Fixed Issues

Hangs on loading bar

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Severe
• Description: First loading bar takes a long time to finish or never finishes.
• Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.

Slow FPS

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Minor
• Description: On certain areas of the game it slows down even with capable hardware. Reason: Invalidating the CLUT (what gives colors on textures) on the CPU can be expensive if it happens often enough. Especially considering CPU is limited in the number of indexes it can process at a time.
• Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
