[Q] Grand Theft Auto III Handling.cfg

I have version 1.4 of GTA III installed on my XPeria Play but on the data folder there is only the save files now, the audio, cfg files and the rest are no longer on the sdcard/andriod/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/data folder, to be precise in the folder sdcard/andriod/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/ there is only the save files and nothing else. Any one has any idea on were these files are located with this version of GTA III?

If I'm not mistaken didn't that version become .obb format? I have 1.3 installed it still hase the files on sd card, if it is. Obb format, then just transfer the obb file over to a computer rename it from. .obb format to zip format then extract to a folder then modify and heres where its tricky for vice city modding .obb files we keep the unzipped. Obb file on the folder in the data part of android folder on our sd card so you would put the unzipped modified Obb file on sdcard/android/data/ com.rockstar.gta3
Then rezip the modified obb and place it in the sdcard/data/obb/ com.rockstar.gta3 folder or what ever its named rename the obb file from zip format to obb format then load game if modifed and works the ccame should load and the mods should take place, like I can have the world trade center in gta vc but the txd files aee hidden with no access so its only tan building with no color to them or definition

Thanks! (I hit the thanks button also) Indeed GTA 3 ver 1.4 uses the OBB that is the same as a Zip file. Time to have more fun messing around with the game that is already a lot of fun to mess around in. :silly:

I Copied the OBB to My PC
Renamed it from OBB to ZIP
Extracted the contents
Modified the handling.cfg
Added them with no compression again to the ZIP file
Renamed ZIP to OBB
Copied back to my phone
Started GTA 3
It wanted to download the OBB again :crying:
Replaced the modified OBB with the original OBB and GTA 3 worked again.

Did you place the uncompressed zip(all the folders them sefls) in sdcard/android/data/com.rockstargames.gta3 folder while keeping your original obb. File in the sdcard/android/obb/com.rockstargames/GTA3 FOLDER. In the obb section?

Thanks! (hit the thanks button) I copied over the extracted obb files to sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 folder with the modified handling.cfg (to test) and it worked! I tested with a modified handling for the taxi and it was really fast and it sent anything on wheels that it hit flying. :highfive:

How to delete .dat files

Im running ARHD 34 Lollipop and have some .dat files on the internal sd card.
It's mostly "leftovers" from deleted apps, e.g. TomTom navigation, where there is a Tomtom folder with a "currentmap.dat" file, so i can't delte the folder.
If i browse the phone storage from my PC i can delete folder, but it's back after reboot.
And if i open the folder i can't wiew the .dat files.
Does anybody know how to delete the .dat files?

Can't see xml file copied from system\etc folder

I copied a file named "mixer_paths.xml" to the internal SD card in order to edit it on the computer and save a backup, but for some reason I can't see it when going through the files on the computer.
Why? And how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Indeed, obb folder isn't in scoped storage, no need of root of whatever, you can normally write in obb folder without doing any manipulation

Try opening it with MiXplorer
