Well I don't know I'm about 15 hours in & I'm fine no issues.. I would expect a few crashes as a new port
Yeah absolutely, I would rather put off starting a new game until any big bugs are ironed out, but what you said sounds good to me!

tbh, crash/bug regardless, this port is an incredible achievement. Absolutely no one would be in a position to complain if the port was even unplayable.

As long as you leave the configuration it won't crash at all.. It's smooth & definitely playable... Stop wasting time & play mate

id love to try this, is it like the switch releases (not sure if this came to the switch) where you just copy your game files to root and install a vpk.

i tried to find codes on the switch for gta3/vc/max payne but cant get pointers, was wondering maybe possible if it lets you use vitacheat for the vita.

i been having fun getting my driving skill up ,
got up to a 1min wheelie and endo's of like 10sec and
it seems to take too long to improve skills... so i googled

open T:\data\gtasa\data\ar_stats.dat with notepad++


There is a driving school at San Fierro near your Doherty garage and there is a bike school at Las Venturas.
You can increase your skills there unless if you're still stuck at Los Santos.

If you mind changing some of the data in the game's files, go to the ar_stats.dat file
inside the data folder of your main San Andreas directory and find the lines ,
which are these:
  • STAT_INC_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 25
  • STAT_TIMELIMIT_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 180
  • STAT_INC_DRIVING_SKILL 20
  • STAT_TIMELIMIT_DRIVING_SKILL 300

  1. change the 180 to 1
  2. change the 300 to 1 too
  3. Save and load up your game.
  4. Get in any car and drive around.
  • You'll instantly notice your stats rapidly rising.
  • The same will happen for your Motorbike skill when you rid a motorcycle.
This means that in normal gameplay time,
  • 3 minutes of uninterrupted riding of a bike would increase the skill by 2.5%,
  • while 5 minutes of uninterrupted driving of a car would raise the corresponding skill by 2%...



you can see i commented out the original
after i pasted it a second time
i went crazy just adding a zero('s) at the end of each
and changed time increments to 1

Did you check that the psm 2. 01worked on other ports? You might have to do the data copy thing

Does someone know how to obtain the file(s)

libGTASA.so

and the

assets

folder


I do not have a a
pk from the game just the installed variant on my phone. Thought it would be easier. Hopefully I do not spent the 10 Euros on the game for nothing.

--------

Also when I try to install the pkg files from the
Extract libshacccg.suprx

thread/instructions

I get the menu of the pkginstaller program. When I select the correct folder in which the packages lay I get only a black screen. The program itself can be exited via PS Button but it installs nothing (just a black screen)

I know that the instructions are there. I wouldn't ask I have not been there. So please help me to obtain these files from my phone as I do not know how an emulator would help when it downloads the same file from the play store.

i kinda misread.

you have two choices. find the apk. or if you are rooted with your phone follow this https://stackoverflow.com/questions...e-apk-of-an-installed-app-without-root-access

get and install 7zip on your computer. now right click the gtasa.apk and extract it.

but please dont ask for the apk here. its all over the web. easy to find. :)

OK that worked. Thank you for that.

Next problem is here Extract libshacccg.suprx from https://samilops2.gitbook.io/vita-t...t-libshacccg.suprx#installing-the-psm-runtime

I have put the pkg files into the desired folder on ux0\package. After that I start the pkginstaller app and select the correct folder from within it. And here comes the Black Screen and nothing gets installed. The app itself can be shutdown. I tried it after a complete reboot, too.

disable all your plug-ins which you don't need. i know its a long process but it needs to be done if you want to play San Andreas.

but be careful you dont disable what you need. like for sd2vita plug-ins or the like.
