A prototype of "Grand Theft Auto IV" for the Xbox 360.

Notes

  • Roughly 95% intact. The files in the "movies" folder, the common folder has no evidence of ever having existed, maybe they used remote file system (RFS) and the xbox360.rpf was overwritten
  • The build name is 78, while the retail EU version is 118.
  • audio.rpf and common.rpf were extracted via hex while componentpeds.img and nj_03.img were degrafmented and 1 corrupted texture that couldnt be recovered properly left in was removed from componentpeds.img to let it run in game
  • The xex file has a dongle, run "GTA4Final_xenon_patched.xex," which is a modified version of the original.
  • The unmodified xex file is fragmented. The second download link contains the executable.
  • Unfortunately, the build freezes at a certain point due to a lack of critical assets (script and xbox360.rpf)

Warning: No DMCA takedown notices were filed with the wiki, but given that the page containing the devkit has been removed for TOS, it was decided to remove these assets to avoid further issues.
