Horion VS dxwrapper

fork horion https://github.com/horionclient/Horion

Just download an old version of Minecraft Bedrock from some shady site, your game will still work fine on servers and worlds. (only download Horion from https://horion.download/ most of the other downloads are BTC miners and viruses) (GitHub page is safe too https://github.com/horionclient/Horion )

Alternatively, you can research a bit to see if the client is open source such as Horion, then you don't have to try to hack it to modify it.

https://github.com/horionclient/Horion/blob/master/Memory/Hooks.cpp just change line 578 from horion to buy java, compile it, and you’re done

https://horion.download/ , spawning items only works on realms and LAN worlds though

horion: https://horion.download/

Then, download this and place the files inside the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity Classic).

There's also dxwrapper that implements old DirectDraw/3D interfaces with newer D3D9 api for better compatibility with newer Windows versions:

FYI: The Space Bar re-release features Elisha Riedlinger's DxWrapper (https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper), whose config file is otherwise stock with just FullScreen enabled. I strongly believe they didn't properly test it.

RTX Remix uses a custom d3d9.dll though so you additionally need another wrapper such as https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper to customize which dll should be loaded since by default d3d8to9 uses the default system file which will result in translated calls not being redirected to the path tracer used by Remix.

If you have a GPU that supports DXVK (Basically it forces DXVK to run the game in Vulkan intsead of it's usual DirectX 9, which the DX9 version hates GTA IV and while GTA IV hates DX9 back) and has more than 2GB of VRAM (DirectX Vulkan), then I HIGHLY recommend it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases (Use this guide to install it: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2020/07/gta-4-stutter-choppiness-fix.html. If you want aliasing AND DXVK, use this guide: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2021/01/antialiasing-with-dxvk-and-gta-iv.html. If your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, use DxWrapper: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases).
