Working GTA3, sometimes.

[Mike M. <che...@ya...>]

The game always(mostly) loads under cedega 5.1.1, but I only get a
working setup now and then.

Mostly the screen is black and no-one seams to know how to test what
'black' means.

I am able to play some times and the game workes just fine! Here is my
saved game folder...

-rw-r--r-- 1 cheako cheako 201820 Mar 10 22:49 GTA3sf3.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 cheako cheako 201820 Mar 10 22:49 GTA3sf2.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 cheako cheako 201820 Mar 10 22:49 GTA3sf1.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 cheako cheako 201820 Jun 23 19:34 GTA3sf8.b

The Mar 10 games are the ones that pointed me towrds 5.1.1.  I'm using
reacent video drivers, from DRI snapshot.
common-20060311-linux.i386
r300-20060306-linux.i386

I seam to get some luck removing gta3.set from the saved game folder,
but with how unstable everything is luck is all I get.

I'll try and compare a working run with a failed run, but what would I
compare?

The screen is black for the title page and the menu.  Moves are only
slow and are visable with sound.  I hit space twice as cedega recomends
to skip the slow movies.

Even the cedega memory-usage overlay is not shown.
