So I recently picked up this collection and GTA 1 only played with the GTAFixer from here http://gtamp.com/gta1/
But GTA London 1969 doesn't work with this correctly.
But for London I can use a No-CD exe but there is no music!
But is there anyway to fix this and get music?
Anyone?
My copy of GTA London 1969 (not the Classic Collection one) works out of the box on Windows 8. It's CDDA and the game disc need to be present in the FIRST CD drive letter on your system. Is it? Don't use a cracked version.

Classic Collection is made to run on newer operating systems, well Rockstar screwed that up.
Does it or does it not use CDDA? If it does, make sure you're using the FIRST CD/DVD drive letter in the system.
No it doesn't. It reads music files off the hard drive. It just uses the disc as copy protection.
Seems to be a fairly obscure re-release, I can't even find any information about it. I would just buy another release without those "fixes" tbh.
Anyway, after a nocd crack will it play CDDA music from the first CD drive letter then? The nocd crack probably is an original exe that's not "fixed" and is looking for CDDA audio. If that's the case and the audio tracks are in an easily available format you can just burn them to a CD.
Alternative is probably finding out exactly what copy protection it uses and find some generic workaround for that.

Well, I can start London up but as soon as I start a game it crashes. The issue is that it changes a byte in the save file causing the game to crash. Gtafixer fixes this by changing that byte back. But there is no such thing for Gta London. I just ordered the original version of the game on Ebay along with London 1969. Waiting for it to ship. Also, I only have 1 CD Drive.
Not sure if you understood my idea or not, so to ask again:
You said you had a cracked exe that worked. If you try to play with that cracked exe, does the game try to play CDDA from the first DVD drive (just insert a random audio CD to test)?
It does.
At least in Win7 here they both work. Things should not be too different in Win8.x

Are you using the classics collection version?

GTA1 free modern version and London original version w/ crack (I don't really mind the music).

The modern version has issues on most PCs where it changes a byte in the save file after the 2nd launch and the game crashes, I linked to that fix.
The original version fixed it, using the Windows 95 version included with it.
