    The only reason Gangstar is good... Is because of the graphics. The storyline is terrible, and on the ipad original (1), the graphics were so bad I just deleted the game because of it. I'm not sure if the iPod 4 has better graphics, but I'd steer clear of it unless you have an A5 chip or higher.

    I can't find the line to edit, in that link it shows 0x5D1 but it's not in my .set file

    Woot! Finished the game! Well, not 100% completion, but I have done all the missions, including the side ones... got all the hidden packages... Still need to do the rampages, unique stunt jumps, three more tiers of cars for Sunshine Autos, as well as the races for Sunshine Autos. However, I think that's it for Vice City for me, for now anyway. Now time for Baldur's Gate!

    0x5D1 is the location of the value to edit. Your hex editor should have an indicator of what position your cursor is at, find location 0x5D1. It's called an offset.

    FWIW my .set file has 66 66 06 starting at that offset (iPhone 4S).

    Mine too, but that wasn't one of the values listed in the guide, so I was hesitant to change anything.

    How well does this run on an iPhone 4G?

    I don't think it's worth it to play even on the iPhone 4. The lag is a bit too much such that I keep crashing into things when I drive. We all know driving is a huge part of the game and it kinda ruined the experience for me.

    The difference is clear as day when I tried it on higher end device like iPad 2, no lag and I stop crashing the vehicles.

    I don't know if it's just me but the colour seem duller on the iPhone 4 as well. It just seems more vibrant on the iPad 2 - the aesthetics of the game is why I like Vice City so much.

    Really want this game but the draw distance and all the negative feedback about it is putting me off. How bad is the draw distance on an ipad 4?

    Such a pleasure playing on iphone 5. Draw distance isn't bad at all.

    Runs at a rock solid framerate, looks actually great, and the draw distance is a helluva a lot better than Gangstar Rio. About the same as the PC version.

    Probably people moaning about the draw distance are playing on older devices.

    It really is an issue I think even on the iPhone 5. I mean, it's there right. It's like the draw distance issue is baked into that rockstar modified middleware game engine they were using back then, can't remember it's name.

    iPad 3. Draw distance sucks. GTA 3 was way better.
