7. Conclusion

GTA Vice City Deluxe exemplifies how modding communities sustain classic games. It achieves technical excellence while respecting source material, filling gaps left by official remasters. However, its reliance on unlicensed audio and reverse-engineered code poses ongoing legal risks. Future work could explore merging Deluxe with open-source reimplementations (e.g., reVC) for true independence.
