Grand Theft Auto III mobile supports PC mods

Both the Android and iOS editions of Grand Theft Auto III support user mods originally made for PC, cunning players have discovered. It's a bit wonky, but people have had luck bringing in new cars, textures, songs, and more.

The Tech Erra has a video tutorial on how to mod the iOS version, while a member of the xda-developers forum (via Droid Gamers) shared the Android secrets (also available in video form.)

Certain mods don't entirely work, suffering graphical glitches, but such is the nature of experimentation. If you're looking for mods to try out, GTA Garage is full of 'em.

Here's the Android edition with a few custom textures and cars:

      I have a hard time believing the iOS version is also able to use external files... Apple has their platform tied down pretty tight.

      Anyone got the links for the iOS mod instructions? Not that I own an iOS device, just curious as to how convoluted the process would be. I'm relatively certain there's no functionality in iTunes to copy files into an app's working directory?

      phones are hard as hell to play 3d games on, I don't see why anyone would want to. I have quake for my android and it's more frustrating than fun to play.

      Man if the guys who made multi-theft auto could get that working on here that would be pretty sweet.
