Driver 3, is a 2004 racing, shooting, and adventure video game. It is the third installment in the Driver series and was developed by Reflections Interactive and published by Atari. Driver 3 was released in North America for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on 21 June 2004. In Europe, it was officially released on 25 June, although due to the way Atari shipped the title across the continent, it made its way into independent UK retailers before the release date, even reaching sixth place in the ELSPA chart for that week. It was also developed by Sorrent and published in North America, while it was published by Unique Games in Europe; the game was released for mobile phones on 23 June 2004. On 15 March 2005, it was released on PC for US customers, it was also released on Game Boy Advance 25 October 2005. At one point a Nintendo GameCube version and an N-Gage version were planned, but both were cancelled. Driver 3 brings back features from Driver 2 and adds the ability to ride motorcycles and boats, use weapons, swim, climb ladders, and enter certain buildings among other things, controlling more than one character, as well as entering and exiting cars.
There are two components for playing a gba Driv3r game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the gba OS and software.
The second component is the Driv3r game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest VBA-M – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading VBA-M, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the visualboyadvance-m.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Driv3r. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Visualboyadvance-m and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .zip file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
