Additional Comments

GTA refuses to open

Some times gta may fail to start even when you haven't touched (modded) anything. In this case delete the file gta_sa.set inside  the Documents/GTA San Andreas User Files directory and restart the app. You will have to reset your gta sa settings.

CJ and peds are too dark

If cj isn't light correctly and appears very dark try disabling glsl. You can disable it using the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\UseGLSL > "disabled" Or use winetricks/playonlinux

Slow Play

If you have problems with slow play, go to your winecfg and disable support for Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader

Controllers & Keyboards

Joysticks and joypads will create a conflict with the keyboard keys making the character (CJ) uncontrollable. Disable all controllers before running the game to avoid this issue.

Load a saved game not work

Try this: winetricks d3dx9

Intro videos not work

In some cases this fix can backfire, doing that your game does not start anymore.Make a backup of your .wine folder or create new wineprefix for test before continuing.

1) Install the ugly plugins for gstreamer (the name of package depends of your distribuition)
2) Install the quartz and devenum: winetricks quartz devenum
3) Install ffdshow: winetricks ffdshow (during installation, check the box of MPEG1 and MPEG2)
4) Test your game.

If you can not start your game, restore the backup or back to original wineprefix. # 9127

Fonts Issue

If you have issues with fonts, try (type in the terminal): winetricks allfonts

this method extracts all audio from GTA San Andreas, includes all music, DJ chatter, ads, ­background sounds and cutscenes.

How to build

1) Get this archive: http://goo.gl/HRwGV

2) On terminal extract this archive with: tar xfv radio-free-san-andreas-0.2.tar.bz2

3) Go to extracted folder: cd radio-free-san-andreas-0.2

4) Type: ./bootstrap && ./configure

5) If a problem occurs, install the missing libraries and rerun the command ./configure until it runs without errors.

6) Build (type it): make

How to use

1) Go to src/ folder: cd src/

2) Create the folder where the files will be stored: mkdir ~/gta_sounds

3) Type: ./extract [your gta folder]/audio/streams/* [user folder]/gta_sounds ../metadata.conf

Do not use quotation marks or abbreviations (~), it will cause errors. If your path contains spaces, use a "\ " for a correct interpretation, for example:

./extract /home/mrk3004/Games/GTA\ San\ Andreas/audio/streams/* /home/mrk3004/gta_sounds ../metadata.conf

The first arguments are the files to extract from. Then comes the base directory to put the output files in, and lastly the file to read metadata from.

audio/streams/* extracts all the musics and sounds. To extract some in specific, follow the table below:

Filename	Station
audio/streams/aa	Police
audio/streams/adverts	Adverts
audio/streams/ambience	Ambience
audio/streams/beats	Beats
audio/streams/ch	Playback FM
audio/streams/co	KROSE
audio/streams/cr	K-DST
audio/streams/cutscene	Cutscene
audio/streams/ds	Bounce FM
audio/streams/hc	SFUR
audio/streams/mh	Radio Los Santos
audio/streams/mr	Radio X
audio/streams/nj	CSR
audio/streams/re	K-JAH
audio/streams/rg	Master Sounds
audio/streams/tk	WCTR
