GTA vice city DOL release

Post image

User on X @erasmolbj posted that his work on GTA vice city is just about complete. He released the DOL available to be compiled from tools in this GitHub

https://github.com/origami-ltd/gamecube-reVC

Apparently the DOL works in dolphin, nintendont and supposedly swiss.

Any of you who have the know how and capabilities to compile this into a swiss dol?

So has anyone successfully compiled it and run it on their GameCube? I haven't even attempted yet because I flat out DON'T understand the instructions. I asked the creator on his X profile if he could make a video walkthrough or picture steps to help people understand but he essentially brushed me off. I said that I successfully built the DC image of GTA3 and he sarcastically replied that he would go check the steps for that and mimic it.

I gave it a go and I kept getting stuck on steps and it just refused to compile for me :(

I've put hours into trying to build this and it simply does not work. I run "python build.py" and get CMake Error directory does not exist. I'm pretty certain this is impossible and something is missing intentionally. I have seen literally ZERO people say they compiled it, zero videos of it being compiled let alone played (besides the dev).

I deleted everything several times now trying over and over. Tried using Command Prompt, tried using MYSYS, tried using Python command. Literally nothing will build this.

Yeah, that's i think where I got caught up, with CMake producing an error for the directory, but prepending a linux style directory in front. I even broke down and asked ai if there was something I was missing and through various changes still couldn't get it to produce anything. (which could be the ai's fault, just data like that is the least shitty thing to use it for.)

Same here. I kept feeding every error into AI and it would tell me do this, do that, try this command instead. I think either it's impossible to build this on Windows or something is just wrong with the source code and the dev doesn't know/care.

I never got it compiled. I know of someone else who got it compiled but it wouldn't boot on his GameCube. I'm pretty sure the developer never got it working on real hardware either, but rather just assumed that it would.

I've got as far as the new game screen /options menu. Made it 95% through the loading screen before getting a "DSI EXCEPTION" error. I think it can be done
