RPCS3 not booting up GTA IV and the emulator technically crashes

[TheVibster]

Quick summary

For some reason, when I try boot up GTA IV, it just wont work, I don't know what's happening. I don't know if its my PC itself, I don't know if its because the game is stored on a different hard drive, I don't know anything.

Details

What happened is that when I would boot up GTA IV, it would try to boot up, but it would just hang, and if I would try to close it, the emulator would essentially crash, it could be that the game is on a different hard drive, but I don't want to move the game to my main since I barely have any space.

You are using 1.00 FW, which is not supported, you need at least 4.80 FW. Also duplicate of #14194
