[NOTE: the [gnat] replaces the "@" symbol in the e-mail address. It is
to thwart spambots looking for email addresses to send spam to.
Simply replace [gnat] with "@" when responding. I chose [gnat]
because it rhymes with "at" and is easy to remember. Same goes

>>General Notices
***************
NOTICE: This guide may only be distributed and/or posted in its original
format (and, most importantly, UNALTERED in any way).
If you wish to post or use excerpts from this guide, PLEASE ask for my
permission before doing so (especially if you work for a magazine or
website). A lot of time and effort was spent putting this thing together
and that should be taken into consideration.
And remember.....
"Respect is everything."
Besides, contacting me will also give me an opportunity to hook up and talk
shop with fellow GTA "thuggers".....
I truly want to thank those who have written to me about this guide even if
you haven't received a response. I tend to read my e-mail late at night and
sometimes I'm too tired to respond right away. Mainly because I'm either a)
updating my other GTA (plus Riddick) related documents, b) hacking up a
console or doing more RGB experiments, or c) I've had a rough night at work
(I work retail you know....).
I've received a lot of nice e-mail about this guide from people around the
world saying how good the guide is and offering suggestions (many of which
made it into the previous revisions). I intend to continue updating and
polishing this document for as long as possible.

0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA).
I also own multiple systems such as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I currently work at JCPenneys at one of the malls here in San Antonio, TX.
Retail isn't the best job in the world but JCPenneys is a very stable company
unlike some of the other places I have worked for in the past like internet
service providers or web programming companies.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. I have extended the
play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many times over
plus I have received many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB enthusiast. I hack my game consoles to try
to get the best possible video from them and that usually involves tapping
into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on the right monitors to
achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of the GamesX.com mod forum
and I post regularly on their "RGB + Video Discussions" forum area.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
www.Atariage.com and Digital Press, and I am also a member of the MOFAT (a
members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" players
who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include Godzilla (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and Red Dwarf (I own all eight series on DVD).
As far as favorite sports teams go my teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
[the local team], the Denver Broncos (NFL) [although I live in Texas I am
originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado], and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA
Football).

| I.2. My Setup |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This guide was constructed using BBEdit Lite 6.1 and a Power Mac Workgroup
Server 8550/200 (with a G3 card running at 330 MHz). It is now being
maintained using TextWrangler 2.1.2 on a 1.5Ghz Single Core Intel Mac Mini. I
view my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and
correct format errors.
For this particular document I placed the PlayStation 2 (Original) version of
Vice City into my Mac's DVD-ROM drive. From there I copied the file called
"american.gxt" to the hard drive. Then I opened it up in BBEdit Lite and
removed most of the weird garbage with the Find and Replace feature. After
that I went through the document and found the stuff I did not recognize from
all the hours spent playing Vice City. That stuff was copied to another
text document for further sorting and processing.
