| Upgrading your Firmware to Play the Game |
+============================================================================+
First and foremost there is one issue which must be resolved for people who
have not upgraded their PSPs, and that is the firmware upgrade to 2.00. For
those who don't know, firmware is upgraded to keep security on the PSP tight,
and allow additional features (such as web browsers and wallpaper) to be used
by the system. Those who run homebrew code and pirated software will likely
find it a lot more difficult, if not impossible to continue playing those
games after updating, but unfortunately it's a requirement, so they have to
decide which is more important to them. Obviously this guide assumes you are
one of the many people happy to purchase your games legitimately, and are
eager to play Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. And so we begin.
For those who already run the 2.00 firmware, you can get started right away.
For those who don't, select the upgrade option below the game icon in your PSP
menu screen. In order to update you must have the AC Adaptor connected, so be
sure you do that before anything else (The reason for this is that they don't
want the battery dying in the middle of altering the core system software.)
With this upgrade completed you are now ready to play the game.

+-- (_/ ROLOGUE ---------------------------------------------------- 01.01 --+
The game begins with a cutscene sequence, and your main character Toni
Cipriani. When the scene is over and you have control, fans of the series
will obviously first notice the familiar location and overall visual feel of
Grand Theft Auto 3. This game does extremely well to bring back that feeling
and offer something new in the process. There should be a car beside you with
a blue arrow floating overhead, you must get in this vehicle and take your
passenger to his destination. Nothing too complicated. Press the triangle
button to enter the vehicle. Once you are in the care, you can drive with the
X button, reverse and brake with the square button, and use the handbrake (for
skids) with the R trigger. Radio stations can be changed by pressing either
left or right on the D-pad. You may have heard that this game supports custom
soundtracks by importing MP3s from the memory stick. You are correct, however
that feature is not available to you right away. Just have patience.
Drive Vincenzo to the safehouse is your primary goal. On your minimap you
will see a yellow icon, either a square or a triangle. Square icons mean that
the target is at approximately the same height (altitude) as you. A triangle
icon means the target is either above or below your current location. While
driving and walking you can control with the analog stick. In the controls
menu this can be swapped for the D-pad if you wish. Unfortunately, driving
with the D-pad and running with the analog is not an option, so you will have
to get used to either one or the other (I recommend analog personally, anyone
who has played San Andreas will already be used to driving that way anyway.)
It's time to begin driving. The road is populated by many motorists, and the
sidewalk is populated by dozens of pedestrians. Driving without hitting
anything is going to be difficult (especially if you're just getting used to
the game) but bear in mind that your passenger does not want to use any other
car, and if you wreck this car you will have to start the mission over again.
Your destination is actually only a mere block or so away. Just make a right
out of the driveway and go around the curve. Near the bottom of the hill here
on your left there's an alley leading to a marked position. When you park
your car there you'll be forced to get out and get changed. Walk toward the
yellow marker in front of the door and enter your safe house. There is a save
point icon here (looks like a CDR) and a clothing icon. Collect the clothing
icon first to change outfits, and walk onto the save icon. It will tell you
about saving (which can be done while not on a mission, yours still isn't over
yet.) Leave the safe house and get back into the driver's seat.
You have to drive a little further this time, and remember that you can't
change cars, so go slowly and carefully to avoid damage. The location you're
trying to get to is on the south side of the map, in Atlantic Quays. You'll
find a big yellow marker in front of the warehouse. Drive onto it and after a
quick scene, you'll get your first reward, a cool $100. At this point the
mission is over, so you can get out of the car and explore the city if you
want to. It might be a good idea to save now of course. Notice that two new
icons have appeared on your minimap. The CDR is the location of your safe
house where the game can be saved, the letter V stands for Vincenzo, the man
you just dropped off. Return there to start up some new missions for him.

UNLOCKED WHEN: Automatically unlocked after the game's first mission.
This is a relatively simple mission they start you off with. It seems a
dealer is really doing his job to well, and it's your duty to give him a
little helping hand. Find yourself a vehicle, any vehicle, and make your way
to the dealer's location. He actually found just across the street from the
mansion where you originally began the game. Drive there now and speak to
him. After doing so the dealer will get into your car, and a new destination
appears on the map. Drive him to that destination and you'll get $100.

UNLOCKED WHEN: Vincenzo mission "Slacker" has been completed.
It seems that dealer didn't fare too well after all, and your new task is to
dish out some revenge. Find a vehicle and drive it to the location marker on
your map. Get out of the vehicle and step onto the marker. You'll be
introduced to hand-to-hand combat here. Hold the R trigger to target your
opponent and tap the circle button to punch. It's pretty simplistic, and
you're virtually guaranteed a win if you just follow those instructions. Note
the colour of the targeting arrows indicate how much health the enemy has.
With the first guy dead you'll notice that a couple more red icons appear on
your minimap. These are people you have to kill as well so hunt them down,
and pound them into the ground. They're easy to find given they have large
red arrows above their head. For killing the next two dealers you are
rewarded with $500 and the mission is passed. A note will appear on screen
saying that Capitol Autos in Harwood is looking for a new salesman, perhaps
you might want to follow up on that offer. Since it's not marked on your map
I'll tell you how to get there. Harwood is located on the north end of the
city. When you get there look for an enormous blue sign which reads "Autos."
In front of this building there should be a yellow marker. In order to begin
this mission it must be between 08:00 and 18:00 on your clock. Note that
since this is not a Vincenzo mission, you will find it in the Capitol Autos
section of the walkthrough, this section continues with Vincenzo.

UNLOCKED WHEN: Vincenzo mission "Dealing Revenge" has been completed.
Finally time to equip yourself with a firearm. The local Ammu-Nation takes
care of everyone's gun needs, so that's where you're off to on this mission.
The Ammu-Nation is indicated by the yellow marker on your minimap, get
yourself a vehicle and drive down there now. When you get inside you'll find
a marker to stand on in front of the counter, this is the usual way to buy
firearms. They're selling both the Pistol and the Micro SMG but
unfortunately, they've got no SMGs in stock. The Pistol normally costs $240,
but it's free for this mission, be sure to pick one up. Leave the store and
get back in your car. Notice that a gun icon now appears on your minimap,
this will always tell you the location of any Ammu-Nation stores.
Drive to the construction site which is once again, the yellow blip on your
radar. Get out of the vehicle and step on the marker while on foot. There
are a couple of guys here that you have to kill, and it's your first real
opportunity to use that gun. Target using the R trigger like you did for
melee combat and press the circle button to fire. While holding the R button
you can tap down on the D-pad to aim manually. Kill the two guys, at least
one of them should drop a Pistol (which you can pick up to get more
ammunition.) Head through the tunnel and when you pop out on the other side,
hold R and tap down to aim manually. Fire at the red barrels rather than the
people for an instant kill (since they explode.) Once all the enemies are
eliminated in this area, enter the car on the other side with the blue arrow.
For the final part of this mission, your only goal is to locate the pay-n-
spray which is highlighted on your map, bring the car there, and get it
repainted. Once you do this the mission is passed and you get $500.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Vincenzo mission "Snuff" has been completed.
For this mission you'll need a four door vehicle. In other words, something
with a backseat so at least three other people will be able to hop in. Find
yourself a car that fits these specifications and head off down the road in
the direction of the indicator. Notice the blue bar on the screen, this is
the health of the Leone members that are fighting against the cops right now,
it acts as a timer pretty much. You have to make it there before it runs out.
When you arrive with the car at the gas station, you'll find it surrounded by
police. Try to sneak in between the cars and avoid running over cops to keep
your wanted level down at least for the moment. Drive up beside the three
Leone guys and all of them will pile into the car. Now your wanted level
automatically increases to three stars, and that's not going to go away by
itself. Ram your way out of the gas station and make tracks for the nearest
Pay-n-Spray (the spray can icon on your radar.) With a three star wanted
level, police will throw spike strips across the road which pop your tires and
make it a lot harder to drive. Get to the Pay-n-Spray as fast as you can.
Now with your car painted you will notice that the three wanted level stars
are flashing. This means that you currently don't have any wanted level, but
if you commit any offense whatsoever before they stop flashing, the police
will recognize you and it will return to three stars. Once they stop flashing
then you're pretty much okay. Your goal now is to just get back to the
Vincenzo warehouse will all three guys and the reward is $1000.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Vincenzo mission "Smash and Grab" has been completed.
There's a Banshee parked reasonably close to Vincenzo's warehouse, just get
yourself a normal vehicle and follow the indicator. When you find the car,
get out of your and into that one. There will be a quick scene transition and
suddenly everything is going wrong. Turns out the car was trapped by the
police and you now have a three star wanted level (just like last mission).
You have to get to that Pay-n-Spray on the other side of town without
destroying the vehicle. Get there as fast as you possibly can.
After the car has been sprayed and the wanted level has returned to normal, a
new indicator appears at the garage where you are supposed to deposit the car.
Drive over there now and park the vehicle. There is a scene here when you
answer your cell phone. Following the scene you've got one final objective.
It's time to show that bastard who's boss by doing a little number on his car.
Just north of the auto lot there is a car crusher shown on your radar. Park
the car in the large yellow marker and get out. Your mission is complete.
With that unpleasantness out of the way , you obviously won't be working for
Vincenzo again anytime soon. There should be a call that comes in on your
cell now, from your mother. Answer it with the L1 button. When the call ends
a new icon appears on your radar at your mother's location. You can go to
either JD O'Toole (marked with the J) or your mother Ma Cipriani (marked with
the C.) The walkthrough will continue on with JD O'Toole from here.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "The Made Man" has been completed.
Back with Vincenzo again it seems, he wants you to meet him on some kind of
ship at the end of the dock. Make sure you check your map first because it's
in kind of an odd location. When you get there, get out of any vehicle you
may have taken there and step on the yellow marker. Run down to the end of
the hall after the short scene and make a right to find a revolver. Head down
the first set of stairs and look on the left to find some body armour. Now
once you've got them both, keep going to the bottom of the stairs for a scene.
Tons of guys equipped with chainsaws chasing you down! This can get really
dangerous. There are a couple of health items scattered around here and there
but since the chainsaw can virtually kill you instantly with a single direct
hit, it's not going to be of much help. Here are a couple of tips that will
help you get through it. First and foremost, the revolver you found works
great. It kills the guys with a single hit. Second of all, if you jump while
running you move a lot faster here for some reason, faster than sprinting
even. Keep this in mind when trying to escape. You pretty much want to run
around the room, turn around and kill a couple of them, then run to another
corner, turn around and shoot etc. One very important thing you have to keep
in mind is how many shots you have fired. If you go to shoot when you're out
of bullets and start reloading, it could quickly lead to your death.
Once all of the chainsaw guys have been killed, Vincenzo will enter the room
equipped with a submachine gun. This is where those health items will come in
handy, though more than likely you will not need them. The best thing to do
is fire one revolver bullet into him, this will knock him down. While he's
lying on the ground, run up to the body and pull out a chainsaw. This will
finish him off no problem. Leave the boat to complete the mission, unlock the
overalls clothes, and net yourself $3000. Before long your cell phone will go
off. Salvatore Leone once again has a mission for you to do for him.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Vincenzo mission "Snuff" has been completed.
As I mentioned in the description, those who played GTA3 will remember going
here right off the bat, it's Luigi's place. This time however you've got a
fat guy in a gimp suit giving you orders, things have changed. The mission is
to get into JD's van and drive around the Red Light District, collecting money
from prostitutes. There are no indicators on your radar, basically all you're
doing is driving around the neighborhood until JD spots one of his hookers and
tells you to pull over. At that point the hooker will give him an amount of
money which will be subtracted from the $700 dollars that he is owed.
The catch is that you only have a certain amount of time to collect the money,
so make sure you keep your eye on the clock. The majority of hookers are just
standing on the sidewalk however there are a couple of complications.
Sometimes one of them will be "busy" with a customer in a car in an alley.
Drive up behind the car and she'll get out to give you the money. The other
complication is when another pimp tries to steal some of the hooker's money.
In those situations you have to run him down and collect your due from his
corpse (get out of the van and pick it up yourself. Once this task is
complete then just drive the van back to JD's to get a $500 reward.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "Bone Voyeur!" has been completed.
Right at the very beginning of this mission there is a car in front of you
that you need to get into before the cops can bust you. Salvatore Leone is in
this car and it is of the utmost importance that you get him out of there
safely. First of all you have a two start wanted level, meaning you're going
to have to make a quick stop at the nearby Pay-n-Spray. Once you have done
that, then all that remains is to get the Don home again. His house of
course, is the large mansion where you started at the beginning of the game.
Finishing this mission unlocks a couple of things. You can now take part in
Salvatore Leone's missions (marked with an S at his house) since Vincenzo is
now a little below you. Second of all, the Ammu-Nation now stocks the Micro
SMG gun that you were unable to purchase before, you might want to check it
out. Since there are still more JD missions to do, let's stick with those.

+-- (_/ VOLATILE SITUATION --------------------------------- 03.03 --+
UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "Don in 60 Seconds" has been completed.
There's a reason the previous mission unlocked the Micro SMG at the Ammu-
Nation, and that is because this is the first difficult mission of the game.
Basically what you have to do in a nutshell is protect a casino from being
blown up, but the Sindaccos are quite persistent, and it's going to a lot
harder than you think. After speaking to JD, get yourself a car and drive on
over to Ammu-Nation. Grab at least one Micro SMG but I'd say go for two. One
quick note about buying guns here. The circle button is the "quit buying"
button and it's also the fire button, so accidentally shooting the shopkeeper
and then being killed by him in response happens... more than it should.
Take your powerful arsenal and head over to the casino. When you arrive there
is a short scene and then a red indicator appears on your radar. There are
more than a couple ways to take on this mission, so I'll cover them as well as
I can. You're trying to prevent the people in the car (the red indicator)
from reaching the casino and setting the bomb. You can chase after them now
to get them early, but you risk screwing up and if they get past you, nothing
will stop them. With that option less preferable you can either wait by the
casino on foot or wait in a car. I prefer to wait by the casino in a car (or
better yet a motorcycle) for the people to show up. At that point you can
both run them over and perform drive-by shootings with the Micro SMG (drive-
bys are performed by holding the L trigger and pushing left or right on the
analog nub then firing. You must use a submachine gun to do this.)
When the gang members arrive they will not just try to kill you, at least one
of them will only concentrate on trying to reach the entrance and setting the
bomb. If you see a gang member crouched by the door it means you only have a
few seconds to kill him before the bomb is set. Fortunately, one bomb can be
placed and it won't quite destroy the casino, it's only when the second bomb
is placed that you fail the mission. There are three waves of gang members,
the first two in normal cars and the third wave in a Patriot (Hummer.)
If you manage to hold off the gang members for at least two out of the three
times, there is one final part of this mission. A truck rigged with a large
explosive will come out of nowhere headed for the casino. You may be able to
hunt down the truck and destroy it with drive-by shootings, but that's pretty
risky. There's an easier way to do it. Wait by the casino until the truck
appears and make sure you're close to it. When they park the truck the timer
is set and the truck is abandoned. At that point you have twenty seconds to
climb into the truck, drive it forward for a good five seconds or so, and then
once the blue bar reaches full you're safe to jump out and run for your life.
Twenty seconds doesn't sound like much but it's more than enough to just move
it a couple of metres. When the mission is over, you're rewarded $1000.

+-- (_/ ( LOW UP 'DOLLS' -------------------------------------- 03.04 --+
UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "A Volatile Situation" has been completed.
The mission is to blow up the competition and make things easier for JD. To
do so you have to find yourself a vehicle and get it fitted with a bomb, then
park the vehicle outside the place. Sounds easy enough. Since the Dolls will
only trust Sindacco vehicles you'll need to find one for yourself. Sindacco
vehicles are pretty common. They are compact white cars (similar to the
Blista Compact if you remember that but slightly longer) with a low roof and
three windows on the side (rather than two.) In my case and likely a default
for the mission, there was one parked on the sidewalk just out front of JD's
club waiting for you to pick it up. Bag the vehicle and head over to 8-Ball's.
8-Ball's bomb shop is on the north side of Portland, around behind the used
auto lot. Drive into the garage with the car and it will be automatically
fitted with a bomb. Once there is a bomb in the car you have to drive
carefully in order to avoid accidentally setting it off. A damage meter
appears on the side of the screen showing how close it is to blowing up.
Drive the car to the indicator on your radar. When you arrive there a bunch
of Sindacco guys will let you pass through. Wait for them to move out of the
way and then park your car in the garage where you see the large yellow

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Leone Salvatore mission "Contra-Banned" has been completed.
Salvatore has been kidnapped from JD's club and he's really going to get it if
you can't rescue him. Luckily the kidnapper is just leaving the area and JD
catches a glimpse. Find a car quickly and begin to tail the driver from a
distance. This time he appears on the radar so you should be able to keep a
good distance without losing him, though you don't have to travel very far.
Soon enough the car will pull into the garage and your objective changes.
The car is going to be crushed with Salvatore inside of it, your job is to
stop the car, kill the occupants and save Salvatore. The car moves slowly at
first but moves quickly once it spots you, make sure that you're first attempt
to ram into the car is a good one. Keep ramming into it without letting the
car get away and eventually the people inside of the car will get out and
start firing. Your car won't last very long against a barrage of bullets,
make sure that if it is going to explode, you drive it out of the way and dive
out so the blast doesn't kill Salvatore. Kill the people inside the car and
then hop into it yourself. You need to drive the car back to Salvatore's
mansion and park it in his driveway for a scene and a $1500 reward.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "Salvatore's Salvation" has been completed.
Your mission is to protect Salvatore from a distance. JD has left you a
sniper rifle, you'll find it on the roof of the building across the street.
There's an alley around behind the building and when you get back there you'll
find a staircase you can climb. Pick up the sniper rifle at the top and get
yourself a good vantage point before he arrives. By "good vantage point" they
actually mean a specific vantage point, around on the other side of the
structure on the roof here you'll find a yellow marker to stand on.
Salvatore and his gang of thugs will arrive and meet face to face with the
Sindaccos. Your job is to pick them off from up here on the roof. The
analog nub on the PSP isn't the most accurate thing in the world, but when
zooming in all the way with the square button, it's more than enough to pick
off all the enemies at a reasonable speed, and the game is pretty forgiving.
They'll pop out of alleys, streets, vans, you name it. Keep taking them out
until Salvatore and his ground reach the corner, at which point I would
recommend you move down to the ground. Still keep your distance but keep
taking out all the gang members which appear as well as the cops too. Your
wanted level will go up, but that's no matter. After the cops have been
killed Salvatore runs into the club and the mission ends, you get $3000.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The JD mission "The Guns of Leone" has been completed.
There may be a rat amongst the ranks, you need to follow Massimo to see what
he's up to. The catch is that his chopper is leaving from Salvatore's place
is just over an hour, and you're way on the other side of town. Grab yourself
a vehicle and shove off. I would highly recommend you make a quick stop over
at Ammu-Nation along the way, this is one mission you're going to need guns
for. Lots of guns. Grab a couple of Micro SMGs and head up to Salvatore's.
When the helicopter takes off, abandon whatever vehicle you took to get here
and jump onto the PCJ-600. Your objective is to follow the chopper wherever
it goes. Don't worry, the chopper doesn't move too fast. It'll make one stop
first at a fenced in area, all you have to do is stay close and the scene will
take over automatically. With that out of the way you're back to following
the chopper again. Follow it closely here, it will eventually move over the
roof of a building and land. You need to be close by or you will fail the
mission. After it lands then yet another cutscene will trigger.
There is an area in the middle of this building where you'll find a staircase
leading to the roof. Listen in to what's going up there until one of the gang
members spots you. This would be a good time to whip out that Micro SMG I
told you to buy. Kill all of the Triads up on the roof here. When you�ve
done that you might want to run around to the opposite side. Where all the
Triads were there is a drug icon that might come in handy (while on drugs it's
like a temporary bullet time where you slow down, but the enemies slow down a
lot more.) Run back to the stairs where you came up and run down them. Be
ready to kill a few more Triads at the bottom. If you're running low on
health you can find a heart icon behind the stairs. Gradually make your way
out of the area, looking at the radar for any remaining Triads. Once all of
them have been killed the mission automatically ends and you get $1000.

the way you'll be attack by a few Sindacco gang members. Crash into their
car and get them to hop out, then you can easily just run them over. The
little "ceremony" actually takes place at the car crusher. When you part in
front of it, a scene will occur. Afterward you get a new objective, drop the
guy off at his house and then dump the car. There are a few problems however,
since there is now a body in the front seat, the cops are going to come after
you even if you get the car painted. Just ignore them (since it's only a two
start wanted level) and make your way to the guy's house. Once you've dropped
him off all you need to do is find a beach or something, like the one behind
Salvatore's house (I don't recommend the docks since there is a low wall
around the edge everywhere.) Get to the beach, drive toward the water, and
hit the triangle button to dive out of the car. When the car sinks the

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Vincenzo mission "Hot Wheels" has been completed.
You've got to show your mother that the man she thinks is a better son than
you, is actually no damn good, and you're going to need your camera to do it.
The camera is located back at your safe house which is fortunately only a
couple of blocks from here. Head there now and pick it up. Once you have the
camera in your inventory, leave your safe house and find a vehicle. Drive
over to Casa's Deli which is indicated on your little minimap.
When you arrive there you'll see Casa, taking a little break to go and pick up
a couple of prostitutes. Follow him in your car but don't get too close.
Unfortunately he doesn't appear on the radar so you have to stay close enough
to see where he's going, and far enough not to spook him. When you start
getting too close you'll get a little warning message each time, don't be too
spooked by it, just let off the gas and keep your distance. He'll pick up a
couple of prostitutes and then be off again, you still need to stick behind
him and keep your distance. Eventually he'll lead you around a large curve
and then turn off down a dirt road. At this point it is VERY EASY to get too
close. Don't follow him down there immediately, stay on the road and wait for
a few seconds before slowly driving in. A scene should take over from here.
After the scene you need to get out of your car and photograph this guy
wearing a diaper, chasing around some hookers. The "don't get too close"
factor still applies equally here, and since there are so many trees it can be
hard to get a good photograph. I find the best thing to do is stay far away
from him, but run toward the concrete wall overlooking the water. From here
there should be a clear view toward the guy (who is indicated in red on your
radar.) Equip the camera with the left and right D-Pad buttons and hold the R
trigger to aim in. Hold square to zoom in and X to zoom out. Zoom in and get
yourself a nice picture. Once you've got it then you've pretty much passed,
all you have to do is bring it back to your mother to get $100.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Ma Cipriani mission "Snappy Dresser" has been completed.
After starting this mission a couple of red icons will appear on your radar.
These are Triads, your mortal enemy! Basically one of the icons is a group of
Triads standing around, and the other is a Triad fish truck. Both of them
need to be taught a lesson, but we'll go for the truck first. It's a lot
easier to find the truck anyway since it's impossible to reach the group of
people in a car (there's a barrier forcing you to get out and walk.) Find
yourself a fast but sturdy vehicle (okay, any vehicle will do pretty much
except a motorcycle) and drive to the indicator. When you find the truck
start ramming into it as hard as you can. There are a ton of boxes in the
back of the truck that will fall out and slow you down as you run over them.
For this reason it's better to stick to the side of the truck rather than
behind it, ram it from the side when it goes around a corner or something.
Eventually once you've done enough damage to the truck, the Triads will get
out and the truck will set on fire. Make sure you get a good distance away
from it before it explodes. After that just run over any Triads who may have
survived and if you don't have any firearms, collect one of their pistols.
Next you need to reach the other Triads. Park beside the poles blocking you
from heading down the road and take off on foot. You'll find a butcher's
cleaver here but the pistol is a much better weapon. Keep your distance from
the ground so they don't notice you, then target with the R trigger and begin
picking them off one by one. When all area dead then the mission is passed.

UNLOCKED WHEN: Ma Cipriani mission "Big Rumble in Little China" is complete.
In order to prove your worth to your mother, you need to race against a man
named Sucho who just so happens to have a really fancy car. This will be your
first checkpoint race of the game. Basically what a checkpoint race is, is a
race around the city through a number of predetermined locations marked on
your map. You need to find yourself a car and get to the start line indicated
on the radar. The car you choose is up to you. I beat it on the first try
with a Kuruma, which is a pretty crappy normal family car, so if you find
something better you'll probably manage even easier. I don't think that
motorcycles are allowed in the race, otherwise a PCJ-600 would easily win.
When the race begins, you and the three other competitors are set off toward
the first checkpoint (marked as a bright yellow icon on your radar, and a
large yellow light pillar on the screen.) You don't have to pass through the
light pillar exactly, but you do have to at least get close to it. Inside the
light pillars is an arrow which tells you where to go next, so you would see
an arrow pointing right if it meant you should turn right at that
intersection. Also note that on your radar, icons that are dark yellow are
"future checkpoints" that will be coming up after the current one, so you can
prepare in advance. I'll outline a few tips for winning these races.
For the most part, these cars have much better handling skills and cornering
skills that you do, and you're much more likely to get fishtailed than they
are. For this reason your best chance at getting ahead comes on long straight
paths, make sure you take full advantage of these opportunities. Also when
you're behind another car and have to go around a corner, rather than slowing
down try turning at full speed and ramming the car as you turn. Hopefully
that will slow you down enough to make the turn, as well as knock the other
car out of the way. It's a single lap that will eventually end up back at the
location where you started. Just before the finish there is a long straight
path so even if you're a bit behind, don't give up until it's over.
Upon winning the race that still doesn't quite take care of everything.
You've humiliated Sucho, but that doesn't seem to be enough, now you've got to
kill him. His fancy car is indicated on your radar, chase him down and ram
the car until Sucho gets out. At that point simply run him over and then the
mission is complete. For doing this you are rewarded with $1000.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Ma Cipriani mission "Greased Sucho" has been completed.
Remember the guy you photographed running around in a diaper? Well you've got
to head back there again but this time with a different agenda. Get yourself
any vehicle and drive it on over to Casa's place. Park it out front and offer
to take the man for a ride. Your destination is going to be the sawmill on
the south side of Portland. Drive the car there and stop at the yellow marker
out front. When the gate opens drive it around back and park on the marker.
There's a scene here and then soon you'll find yourself inside the building
with only an axe equipped, and Casa running for his life. The goal is to
prevent him from escaping but I've had him running around this room for an
extremely long time and as far as I can tell, he doesn't have any way of
escaping. Since you don't have a gun you'll need to use the axe to take him
out, but it's difficult since he keeps running. There are two ways to do
this. You can wait until he stops and see what direction he's facing, and
then sneak up behind him and axe him in the back (this is what the game
recommends.) I found it easier to just run toward him and as you get close,
start sprinting and tapping the circle button. Regardless of how you do it,
don't bother targeting with the R trigger, it will just slow you down.
After about three hits the man is dead, and the cops arrive to bust your ass.
Jump into the vehicle parked beside you and drive to the nearest Pay-n-Spray.
You need to get the vehicle repaired and repainted so that the cops won't
recognize it. With that taken care of your final goal is to drive it back to
the deli, and show the kid there a new type of meat on the menu to get $500.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Ma Cipriani mission "Dead Meat" has been completed.
You have here another extremely difficult mission. There is now a hit out on
your life so all sorts of hitmen are coming after you right here at Ma's
place. Start off the mission by picking up the shotgun right in front of you
and blasting the guy on the stairs. Run down the stairs to the bottom and
begin targeting the three other hitmen here. When you hold the R trigger and
a whole bunch of people are around it will automatically target the most
"dangerous" person like the hitmen for example, or gang members.
The first four hitmen are nothing to be worried about, simply kill them using
the Shotgun. Before the second wave arrives you should note there is a full
recovery heart at the bottom of the stairs (it may be a good idea to save this
for later) and beside it is a submachine gun. When the second wave of enemies
arrive they are more or less the same as the first wave. A few shotgun blasts
are more than they are willing to take, and they'll go down easily.
The third wave is where it starts to get hard, these enemies have submachine
guns. Equip either the shotgun or your submachine gun and stand at the bottom
of the stairs. The instant they jump out of the car, target one of them and
fire, then tap left or right on the D-Pad to target another and fire. Keep
doing this over and over until all four of them are dead. The fourth wave of
enemies is without a doubt, what makes this mission so dreadfully difficult.
The fourth wave is similar to the third wave, however they are equipped with
more powerful submachine guns that shoot faster, and basically if you try to
stand out in the open, you'll be dead before you can finish them all off, even
with full health. There are a couple of strategies you can try here. The
first is waiting at the top of the stairs for them to come up, but even one at
a time their powerful guns can overwhelm you. Personally my strategy ended up
working quite well, you might want to give it a try. What I did was get into
one of the black cars after the third wave of enemies and wait for the fourth
wave to show up. When they did I drive up to them while they shot at the car
and tried to run over at least two of them standing beside the car. They will
continue to shoot until the car sets on fire. At that point you need to jump
out quickly and run like hell. You should be able to avoid the explosion but
the enemies won't, and the exploding cars will take out the final wave of gang
members. There's no reward for this mission, and obviously you won't be doing
any more work for Ma Cipriani. It's finally on to Salvatore Leone.

Salvatore's first mission has you heading off to the Portland Docks. You can

there is a PCJ-600 super motorcycle parked in his driveway, I find that to be
a more stylish way to travel. When you arrive at the docks, stop on the
yellow marker and watch the scene. This mission is short, but not easy. What
happens is a number of thugs start to attack you, and there are dozens of
others scattered around the docks here. Your only goal is to reach the street
without being killed. Don't bother trying to fight back. Maybe if you have a
submachine gun or a lot of ammo for any gun it might work, but personally I
was running low so I had to just run for it. The best thing to do is run in a
southwestern direction (check your map to see where you're moving.) Now this
is very important, DO NOT SPRINT THE WHOLE WAY. Run at normal speed and
sprint when you think you're in danger, but you need to save your sprinting
power for near the end when you're running between the buildings toward the
other thugs. These guys throw molotov cocktails and a mere two of them will
kill you. While sprinting you should be able to avoid them, so make sure to

let's get to work. You've got a strict time limit here, it will tell you what
that time is at the beginning of the mission. You have to pick up a total of
six hookers and bring them to the picket line before the time runs out. The
hookers are marked on the radar with a blue icon, and there are a lot more
than six of them so take your pick. You'll need a four door car to make it in

for a total of six.) I would recommend you just take the black car that is
parked in Salvatore Leone's driveway, it will seat six people comfortably.
Drive it to the first and nearest blue icon on your radar. There are two
situations you will face when approaching a hooker. She may be wandering the
street minding her own business, in which case you can just pick her up. The
other case is that she will be busy in the car with a customer. When this

This is a scare mission, meaning you have to scare the crap out of your

a nearby payphone. That is where you will get missions from him. When you're
ready to continue with Salvatore missions, look for the Salvatore section of
the guide under the Staunton Island heading, rather than below this one.

UNLOCKED WHEN: Salvatore Leone mission "Frighteners" has been completed.
Just a simple introductory mission for you to do here. When you arrive at
Maria's house she'll say that she wants to go shopping, which is fine. Find
yourself a vehicle and get on it. Drive to the shop marked with a yellow icon
on your radar. When you stop there she'll go in, and an alarm will sound.
Your job now is to shake off a one star wanted level, nothing too difficult at
all. After this she's still not tired of her crime spree, so it's off to
another store. When she comes out this time it's no joke, and the wanted
level has increased to three stars. There's no need to stop and the Pay-n-
Spray, your only goal in this mission is to get back to Maria's house and park
out in front of it without being wasted or busted by the cops. Reward is $100.

Maria needs to make a visit to her drug dealers, they're location is marked on
your radar so find yourself a vehicle and get Maria over there now. When you
stop on the marker behind the other car there will be a short scene, and your
new mission becomes very clear. You have to rescue Maria from the Sindaccos
and keep them from getting away at all costs. The car is located on your
radar in case it goes out of sight, but that won't help you if it gets too far
away. Use whatever vehicle you are driving to catch up and ram the Sindacco
car with Maria inside. Eventually once it has taken enough damage, two
Sindacco gang members will get out of the car and start to shoot at you. All
you have to do is run them both over and then Maria will get back into your
car. Take Maria home and watch the quick scene when you arrive to get $500.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Maria mission "Taken for a Ride" has been completed.
Another checkpoint race awaits you with this mission, and Maria has put
herself up as the first prize. Unlike the previous race however, you must
find yourself a motorcycle. It's no competition which one is the best, the
PCJ-600 is the fastest (by far) motorcycle around. If you can't find one on
the streets then it's well worth the trip to Salvatore's Mansion to get the
one out front. Make your way to the start of the race and get ready.
This is a two lap race so you'll go through all the checkpoints throughout the
city once, and then a second time. It's more difficult now since you can fall
off your motorcycle but don't fret, when I took first place I actually fell
off a total of three times during the race, twice in the second lap. When
coming up on turns I recommend going at top speed and then braking at the last
possible second holding both the square and R buttons at once to really jam on
the brakes. Follow all of the checkpoints and hit the finish line first in
order to win the race. With that, you finish the mission. No cash reward.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Maria mission "Booby Prize" has been completed.
Maria's boyfriend isn't such a nice guy after all, so it's your job to go and
rough him up (and by rough him up, I mean murder him). You'll find him in
Chinatown past those short barriers so you'll need to dump the car if you're
driving one. When you arrive there is a short scene and then Wayne takes off
on his bike. What you need to do is grab the nearby submachine gun, kill the
two guys who are left behind and then nab a bike and chase after Wayne.
While on a motorcycle not only can you perform drive-bys while aiming left and
right, you can also shoot forward over the front of the motorcycle with the
circle button, this will come in handy. Chase him down while firing your gun
(he goes extremely fast.) If you can't manage to kill him while chasing him
all over the city, he'll eventually end up back in Chinatown again and get off
the motorcycle. At that point you can easily pop his ass. If you happen to
lose him during the chase then you fail the mission. The reward is $1500.

UNLOCKED WHEN: The Maria mission "Biker Heat" has been completed.
Arriving at Maria's house you'll find that she has taken a heavy overdose of
all kinds of crazy drugs, and you need to get her some "zap" to deal with it.
She thinks she left the zap over at the diner by the park, so get yourself a
vehicle and head there now. Maria can't really walk so you'll have to get the
vehicle and bring it to her. When you arrive at the diner of course, she
changes her mind about it being there, but not before Wayne's gang remember
that guy you killed last mission?) sees you. From this point on the gang is
going to be chasing you down, shooting at your car and whatnot.
When you arrive at the new location Maria told you about, it turns out to be
wrong too, the whole time her "zap" was back at the apartment. Turn around
while still avoiding the biker gang and make your way back there. When you
stop on the yellow marker in front of the apartment, the TRUE location changes
to Salvatore's mansion. Fortunately it's not very far from here. Drive up
the long driveway and park on the yellow marker to complete the mission.
Maria's missions are now done and there aren't any other missions available.
In cases like these it's best to get out of your vehicle and just stand
around, you'll inevitably get a cell phone call from someone. Salvatore Leone
will phone you, saying he's got some more work to do. Head on to his place
when you're ready for the next mission (up in Salvatore section of the guide.)

UNLOCKED WHEN: Salvatore mission "Driving Mr. Leone" has been completed.
The mission is to take out mayor R. C. Hole primarily because Salvatore
doesn't like him very much. The mayor talks a daily run in the nearby park,
and it's almost time for that right now. The park is filled with both police
and secret service, and if you enter the park while brandishing a weapon you
will be fired upon. Make sure to conceal any weapons that you may have before
entering the park. You'll want to quickly locate the mayor and kill him. The
instant you do of course everyone will begin shooting at you. Your goal is to
collect the mobile phone and then get the hell out of there.
Another tactic which I like to use, is grabbing a car right at the beginning
of the mission, and waiting for the mayor's red icon to get as close to your
side of the park as possible. When it reaches that point, drive into the park
(they'll be onto you right away) but you'll have plenty of drive to crush the
mayor and his guards, then quickly hop out and collect the mobile phone. Once
you have it in your inventory, take it back to Salvatore who is located at the
exact same place he was before, you'll get $1500 for your efforts. Completing
this mission will also unlock the Sweats outfit at your safehouse. The next
mission for Salvatore is located right there inside your house.

driving off toward the location of the icon. When you arrive there you'll
find the hearse puttering along at a normal speed. All you really have to do
is ram your car into it a few times and the driver will get scared and bail
out. Once you get into the car suddenly you'll have a three star wanted
level. You can do anything until you shake the cops so this mission forces
you to familiarize yourself with the Pay-n-Spray which is located in a back
alley. Drive the hearse there and have the car sprayed and repaired. Now

as well. The missions is to collect a total of five locations before the
timer hits a certain point, but it will be made more difficult since his vans
can reclaim locations already taken. When you eventually get all five of
them, it's time to take O'Donovan's vans out of the picture. They are located
on your radar with a red blip, drive up to each of them and smash into the
vans. A single good hit is more than enough to set them ablaze immediately.

UNLOCKED WHEN: After completing the Vincenzo mission "Dealing Revenge"
Head to Capitol Autos in Harwood at the north end of Portland and stand on the
yellow marker between 08:00 and 18:00. When you do this a number of cars will
appear in the lot with blue arrows above them. Each car must be test driven
by you in order to complete the mission, but there's more. You must impress
all of the customers individually, and they have different opinions as to what
constitutes a good vehicle. The cars themselves are somewhat randomized, but
the order of them is not. We'll begin from the right side and go left.
The person standing beside the car on the right is looking for an off-road
vehicle. It just so happens that beside the auto lot is a garbage compacting
ground with all sorts of hills and bumps. Driving over bumps is not only
dangerous (I.E. risks flipping the car) but it's also not very effective for
raising up the sale meter. The best thing you can do is go down the hill
north of the auto lot and hit the jump that is leaning against the school bus.
The more air time you get, the better your chances of satisfying the customer.
Once the meter reaches the top you'll be instructed to drive back again.
Successfully completing one of them adds more time to your timer, and makes
that vehicle disappear from the lot. The next one on the left is quite a bit
more relaxed. This person is looking for a dependable family vehicle that
will be safe to drive. How do you impress them here? Drive on the road,
around the block and a slow speed. Tap the X button at an average pace to
keep the car putting along and this will impress the customer to no end. When
all is said and done, drive the car back to the lot to finalize the sale.
Next we have someone looking for the complete opposite. This car will most
likely be either a Banshee or a Cheetah, two extremely fast cars. All this
person is interested in is how fast the car can go, so get on the road and
start driving. If there's a lot of traffic it can get quite frustrating.
Don't be afraid to brake if you have to, crashing into something will lower
the sales meter much more than slowing down will. There's a special catch
with this one as well. If you damage the vehicle at all, you'll have to get
it repaired first. A Pay-n-Spray icon will appear on your minimap, drive
there and park your car in the garage to have it repaired and resprayed. From
here you need to get it back to the car lot without even so much as a tiny
scratch. If you manage to do this there's only one more customer to satisfy.
This customer likes to live life dangerously and wants a good getaway vehicle
more than anything. You'll be able to raise the satisfaction meter by taking
part in horrific pedestrial genocide. In simpler terms, the more people you
run over the happier this person will be. Furthermore there's an even better
way to raise the bar. Once you've got a one star wanted level and a cop on
your tail, drive out of there as fast as you can. If you can get rid of the
wanted level, the customer will be overjoyed and it will almost max out the
satisfaction meter (note you cannot simply run away from a two star wanted
level or more.) Bring the car back to the lot and that person is happy.
This completes the first level of the Car Salesman missions. Subsequent
levels have the same customers, however they aren't quite as easy to satisfy.
The rewards are as follows: completing level one gets you some money.
Completing level two will place a Kuruma inside of Capitol Autos. Completing
the third level gets you some more money. The fourth level will switch the
Kuruma in the showroom with a Sentinel. The fifth and final level will make
Capitol Autos start generating money that you can collect for yourself.

|_||_______||____________________________________________________||_______||_|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a brief period only a few days after the games release, of people
struggling to learn exactly whether or not Rockstar's PSP installment in the
Grand Theft Auto Series actually supported the custom soundtrack feature. It
was only the "Custom Tracks: Unavailable" option in the audio menu of the game
that kept people going despite no indication that they exactly existed. Early
today Rockstar finally made an announcement and released a program which would
take audio directly from an authenticated CD and place it into the game. What
follows is a step-by step explanation of how to get your own music onto the
game. Despite the CD authentication feature there does exist a method to
import your own MP3s, it will be described after the legitimate method.
______________________________________________________________________________
~~ Legitimate Method Using Audio CDs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that before you do any of this, you must have a saved game file pre-
existing already or it will not work. If you have an audio CD ready that you
wish to import into the game, then you're already half way there. You need to
download Rockstar's new program which takes audio off of a CD and converts it
into ".gta" music format. For those wondering, no you cannot simply change
the extension of an MP3, you must use this program. When you have the program
installed then reboot your computer, and open it up when you get back into
windows (sorry, no Mac support as far as I know for this.) At the top left
corner of the program you will see a drop down drive selection bar. Choose
the drive which your CD has been inserted into and a list of tracks should
appear in the main window (though there is a good chance they won't be named
correctly here.)
Tracks can be renamed by highlighting them and then single clicking once as
you would with any other file. If you're not sure what the track is then
press the play button at the upper left corner to sample it. Once all the
tracks have been renamed don't forget to set the name of both the artist and
album at the upper right corner. With all this done you are ready to transfer
them onto your game. Connect your PSP to your computer via a USB cable (I am
unsure whether this can be done by putting your memory card into a card reader
as I do not have one.) Once the USB is plugged in, select USB mode on your
PSP and then the button on the left side of the program showing an image of a
CD, arrow and PSP should light up. Press this button to transfer the music.
When all that is complete then you can load up Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City
Stories and begin the game. Load your save file and then go into the menu.
In the audio submenu select custom tracks and change it to "on." Now whenever
you get into a vehicle and the radio comes on, it will play your music and
show the song title, artist and album name where it would normally show the
station name. Songs can be changed the same way you change radio stations, by
pressing left and right on the D-Pad. The custom station will always come on
automatically in every vehicle and always take over from where the previous
song left off. If you want to listen to the radio again you must go back to
the menu and turn off custom soundtracks. The game does not insert a DJ or
commercials between you music, it all just plays straight.
______________________________________________________________________________
~~ Sneaky Method to Use Your Own MP3s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that before you do any of this, you must have a saved game file pre-
existing already or it will not work. I'm going to try and be explanatory as
possible, and I'm going to do a perfectly good job of it. Even if you have
very little understanding of computers you should be able to follow this. The
reason I say this is because I want to make something very clear. I do not
want emails regarding this subject, you read it here and you learn how to do
it. If you cannot figure it out then it is no fault of mine, all the
information is here and I have nothing else to say. I do not discourage email
(in fact I love to receive it) but not regarding technical issues on how to
get MP3s to work. I'm going to explain it all here so listen close.
You will need the following programs to get this working. One is the Rockstar
Custom Tracks program I mentioned in the previous description, look above for
the link, you need it for both methods. The other two programs are Nero
Burning ROM and Alcohol 120%. Neither of these programs are free, however
both offer downloadable trial version that go for at least 30 days. I see no
need to link to these, searching Google for both "Nero Burning ROM" and
"Alcohol 120%" will easily bring you to the sites where you can get and
install the trial versions. Once you have everything installed on your
computer then you are ready to begin this not-too-difficult process.
First you will need to open up Nero Burning ROM. When it opens, select "Audio
CD" from the list of possible burning projects on the left side of the window
that pops up. After choosing Audio CD click the "New" button on the right
side. Now you will have a large white area on the left, and a browsable list
of folders on the right. At the top middle of the screen is a drop down menu
which should have something like D:, E:, or F: etc listed there. Click the
drop down menu and there should be something called "Image Recorder" in the
list as well, choose that, it's the one that you're going to want.
Now note the list of folders and stuff in the middle called the "File
Browser." What you want to do there is browse to the folder which has the
MP3s that you want to use in it. Select all of the MP3s you want from the
right side where you see them, and either drag them over to the empty left
side or right click and choose "Copy to Compilation." Both of these do the
same thing. Once you've got all the music you want to use on your custom
soundtrack there on the right side, go up to the "Recorder" menu and choose
the "Burn Compilation" option. You can also just hit Ctrl + B to bring up the
burning window. All the default options should be fine so click the "Burn"
button on the upper right side to start creating this compilation.
Assuming you selected the "Image Recorder" instead of a drive on your computer
like I told you to, a window will pop up right away titled "Save Image File"
and will be asking you where to save a file called "Image" of file type
".nrg." Save this file somewhere where you can easily find it like the
desktop. Don't bother changing the name, and make sure not to change the
".nrg" extension either. When you click "save" now it will go through the
burning process as if it were burning a real CD, but it's not. It's actually
burning a CD image instead. If you're interested in learning why we have to
do this, read the next paragraph. If not then skip the next paragraph.
Rockstar's Custom Tracks program reads a CD and checks to make sure it is
authentic. It checks simply by seeing if the music on there is in compressed
MP3/WAVE format, or whether it is actually true CD audio. When we burn an
audio CD from MP3s, even if we convert them to WAVE format before doing so, we
still don't burn them the same way real CDs are burned. This is where the
image file comes into play, the one you just created with Nero. Rather than
burning the songs to a CD, we burned them to a disc "image" which basically
contains the entire disc in one single file. If you were to take this image
and burn it to a CD now, it would be read as a real disc by Rockstar's program
and you could use it just fine. What follows however is a better method that
makes sure you don't have to waste a disc. This method is obviously also
better for people who want to have custom music, but don't have CD burners.
When the disc image was been created (most likely called "Image.nrg" on your
desktop, it's time for the next phase. I told you to download Alcohol 120% if
you didn't have the program already, we're going to open that program now.
Once it's open go to File, then Open. Locate the image file you made and load
that up, it will appear in the big white area in the middle. Now right click
on the image file and you will see an option called "Mount on Device" and
perhaps a few devices to choose from. If you know which drive your CD-ROM
drive is (D:, E:, F:, etc) then that's the one you want to choose. What this
does is make your computer think that image you created is actually a CD with
all the songs you put into it, and that it's in your CD-ROM drive right now.
With this out of the way, minimize Alcohol 120% and open Rockstar Custom
Tracks. At the top left corner of this program there is a drop down menu
where you can select a drive. Choose the same one you just selected to mount
the image on and when you do, all of the MP3s you burned to the image using
Nero should suddenly appear in the middle here. You can press the play button
to make sure they are all correct. The hard part is long over, all you have
to do is rename everything, then plug in your PSP with the USB cable. Select
the USB option from the PSP and then hit the highlighted button on the left
side of the program to transfer the music onto the game's custom library.
Before doing anything else you will want to "Unmount" the image from your
drive. Close Alcohol 120% first to get it out of the way, but the image will
still be mounted. Open up "My Computer" and right click on the drive you
mounted the image to. There should be an option there that says "Unmount
Image". Select this option and everything will once again be back to normal.
When all that is complete then you can load up Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City
Stories and begin the game. Load your save file and then go into the menu.
In the audio submenu select custom tracks and change it to "on." Now whenever
you get into a vehicle and the radio comes on, it will play your music and
show the song title, artist and album name where it would normally show the
station name. Songs can be changed the same way you change radio stations, by
pressing left and right on the D-Pad. The custom station will always come on
automatically in every vehicle and always take over from where the previous
song left off. If you want to listen to the radio again you must go back to
the menu and turn off custom soundtracks. The game does not insert a DJ or
commercials between you music, it all just plays straight.
______________________________________________________________________________
~~ Note for Anyone Having Trouble With Alcohol 120% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For people who have CD burners and extra CDRs handy, there is another option
you can use instead of Alcohol 120%. You still need to use Nero Burning ROM
to create the image file with all your music, but once it's created you can
try the following. Open up Nero Burning ROM again and this time click the
"Cancel" button on the right side when the window pops up. At the top in the
middle is that drop down menu that still probably says "Image Recorder."
Click the drop down button and choose whichever drive is your CD Burner drive.
Now go to "File" and "Open". Load the "Image.nrg" file or whatever you called
the image, another menu should pop up. At the bottom right there is a button
called "Disc Info," click that button. Click the drop down menu and choose
your CD burner drive from there. Make sure you have a blank CD in the drive.
Click the "OK" button and then once everything is set, click the "Burn" button
to burn the image to a CD. After it's done that CD will have all of the MP3s
on it that you put into the image file, but it will read as a real authentic
CD when you put it into the drive and use it with Rockstar Custom Tracks. If
you can't figure it out from here, use the same method described at the top.
One final note for this, unlike the other one you cannot make a CD image with
a size greater than 700 megabytes since you will be burning it onto a CD and
that's the largest amount of data that one CD can hold. You can make multiple
CDs if you want, but you'll have to make multiple images too.
