Here's how to bypass the 2nd gen iPod Touch Requirement (For GTA Chinatow Wars)

First try failed. iTunes says that the resources were modified. Hmm...hope, it'll work this time.

 

I guess you need to manually do it :\.... Too bad for the 1st gen

 

Hmm ... qasim ... good .. hafiz ... bad .... hmmmmmm

 

im trying with the instrutions but itunes lags the whole time
im just angry because i could have done other more important things today instead of failing
and you dont sound like a teacher,at least not like one of my teachers

 

I don't think there will be many updates. I mean, how many updates of the Gameloft games do you remember? Such big games are not so often updated like Doodle Jump or Pocket God, I guess.

 

Yea!!!!! Thank you for your first impression, I was impatient to see it!! I can now follow my course in peace, thanks!

Hope it will work well on mine too

THANKS FROM QUEBEC!!!!!!

 

Another question:

After you've moved the file over to the applications, it ha;s no icon, does it have an icon when it is sync'd to the ipod?

 

Yeah, it does. Same thing during Zombies, in iTunes there was no icon but the app had an icon one installed.

 

Yep, game runs fine on my 1st gen ipod not jailbroken.

 

Alright thanks for the responses guys, I tested the iSamurai lite and that worked, so, I'm gonna give this a go too. Just wanted to say thanks for biting the bullet and trying it out for us!

 

Is there any way to do this on a Mac?

 

Yeah, just use whatever Mac users use to open .zip files. .ipa's are just .zip's with different extension names, nothing more.

 

Wow!! Thanks! Now it works. Totally smooth graphics on my iPod Touch 1G! Buy it!!

 

Oh yea i figured to use The Unarchiver... thanks!

 

So since the game runs smoothly on a 1st gen touch, the question is, why did Rockstar impose the limitation, and will it go away? Considering other strange aspects of the launch (using old screenshots, which they have since fixed) maybe it was a mistake?
