What is the best patch for GTA 3?

Hi,
Is there a considered best patch for GTA 3 to be able to fix the game to look and play as well as possible?

DEP is good, but have a number of issue caused by problematic or conflicting mod.

I played the game with the DEP patch but have to do some modification :

-removed the googgangs script (it's like cheating and make the game easier and less fascinating by removing the gangs that shoot you).
-changed a line in the burstabletyres script to make the tires of police and fbi cars bulletproof, otherwise the vigilante missions are a pain.
-removed the passsengers script. Make stealing cars more difficult.
-removed the classic axis script. It's broken and cause problems shooting in the right direction and make first person weapons to jam often.
-removed the MWRC scripts. It add a mouse wheel radio selection, but make the game use 100% of a CPU core, overheating it.

Also there is an issue with the sharptrail script. It cause issues with the internal timers, making the gauge fill fasters in missions and the cars less resistent. I'm still investingating this issue.

If you want vanilla III, VC, and SA experience, just get Silent Patch [gtaforums.com] and Widescreen Fix [thirteenag.github.io].

If you want to play with enhanced graphics and other features, check GTA III Definitive Edition or GTA III Classic Edition in guides menu.

Then you might want to check about manually readding to the game, the removed songs yourself. And keep an eye out for vanilla restorations, like Vice City censorship points.
