How to install?

1. First you MUST HAVE an original game, which can be obtained at GOG.com.
2. Copy all the contents to install folder.
3. If you have a non-GOG version, do not copy the gangster.exe or gangster-cheats.exe executable.

Cheats/debug executable gangster-cheats.exe

This mode is specifically designed to facilitate debugging or testing. Custom debug flags are enabled, and intro videos are disabled to streamline the process. It includes the following cheats to assist with testing:

• Shift + $ Your balance becomes one million dollars.
• Shift + # All gangs get 1000 dollars, including you.

Graphics Fix

To run the game on Windows 10, the vast majority of graphics issues can be solved with DxWrapper credits to elishacloud and narzoul. You can get an already set up version here: Tools/Misc. It's configured and ready to use, just extract the content in the game's installation folder.

For debugging it is highly recommended to run the game in windowed mode: Change the configuration file dxwrapper.ini to the following:

[Compatibility]
Dd7to9                     = 1
[d3d9]
EnableWindowMode           = 1
