Recently, an enthusiast under the nickname Epic0522 released “REGTA”. These are unofficial ports of some classic games from the Grand Theft Auto franchise to the New Nintendo 3DS family of consoles.
The Grand Theft Auto III port is based on the RE3 project, GTA: Vice City – on reVC, and GTA: Liberty City Stories – is based on “reStories/reLCS”.
Epic0522 adapted the games for the console: the map and interface work – the second screen of the console is used for display. There is touchscreen control and an on-screen keyboard (you can enter cheats).
Epic0522 published the source code of the “REGTA-3DSPort-Complete” project in open access on GitHub. Among the supported platforms are not only New Nintendo 3DS and XL, but also New Nintendo 2DS XL. The developer also said that he fixed various technical problems with texture display, and also eliminated graphical glitches.
It is noteworthy that formally such experiments are prohibited – in the rules for modders, Rockstar Games noted:
Do not modify our games for the purpose of running them on consoles, hardware devices, or other platforms on which these games were not officially released by Rockstar Games.
