GTA widescreen bug

Just got the GTA collection (minus GTA IV) on Steam, and noticed that the
weapons shoot high and to the right in widescreen mode on a widescreen
monitor on GTA3 & VC (not tried SA yet). It must be a known bug because
someone's written a bug fix for VC:

Anyway, the bug fix at the same site doesn't work on the downloaded VC:
causes the game to hang. Apart from disabling widescreen, is there any way
to fix the bug? Setting widescreen to "no" centres the aiming, but makes the
screen contents too fat.

Well, turn off scaling/streching then, in video card of monitor
settings. You'll have black bars, but at least people don't look
distorted.
