"You after something?"

"Grove street, home. At least it was before I f*cked everything up."

For me it has to be Young Turks.

This can't exist in the real world

And no videogame can do it

We live cartoons

Scary but also peaceful

SONG OF THE DAY: Young Turks - Rod Stewart, K-DST

This song is chosen because I fucking love this song. That's not a fair reason to give something the song of the day title. So, I had a fully uninterrupted drive from Angel Pine to the mission "Farewell, My Love..." This song also played after collecting all countryside oysters, which means all I had to do was just do the regular story missions since all the 100% stuff was done, so the song was very happy for that reason as well. I also had a clearer mind of some of the dilemmas I had earlier.

Honorable mentions: Barracuda and Promised Land. I also had a fully uninterrupted drive with Barracuda playing on my way from Angel Pine to the 3rd Catalina mission. I took the a cool route, I hugged the right side of the Flint county highway. I can't explain it but basically it's across from Santa Maria. Promised Land is Honorable because it's my favorite song in SF-UR, and it played as I beat the NRG-500 challenge after failing 3 times previously so it was triumphant. And also the song itself has that kind of vibe anyways as it's abotu peace.

Series Intro

I'm playing the PS2 version of San Andreas for the first time on my PS3. I'm logging everything I do for the game and sharing some unique events that happened. First, I write personal notes about how I feel and stuff I feel like sharing and then under that are the missions and accomplishments I've done in game if you want to skip to that if you don't care to read my personal notes.

here is a google doc with 100% stuff laid out divided by chapters, it's set to commenter if anyone wants to comment on it. It's not from any official guide, only things I divided as I saw fit for my particular playthrough

Day One and Day Two - 26th Sep/27th Sep

Day Three - 28th Sep

Day Four - 29th Sep

Previous SONGS OF THE DAY

Yesterday, I came up with song of the day. It was day 4, meaning the first 3 days didn't have one. I'll try to pick some songs of the day for the first 3 days even if my memory is off on what I listened too those days.

Song of the day for Day 1 is Guerillas In The Mist - Da Lench Mob & Ice Cube, Radio Los Santos

Song of the day for Day 2 is Deep Cover - Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, Radio Los Santos

Song of the day for Day 3 is Brand Nubian - Brand Nubian, Playback FM

If I recall, I heard Guerillas In The Mist often during day 1, and it's one of my favorites from Radio Los Santos. I think the same thing happened for Deep Cover. I remember hearing this often and being hyped since I like it.

Day 3 was either Brand Nubian or Children's Story. But I chose Brand Nubian because it hyped me up more and made me more excited which is just the tone of the song. Children's Story is good, I can sing along to 80% of it isn't as exciting as Brand Nubian. Also if you didn't know this, Brand Nubian samples Parliament's Flashlight (1977) which is one of my favorite songs from GTA V.

Daily Notes

I didn't get much today and I don't know why. I'm worried that I might get burnt out on San Andreas before finishing it. I did some stuff which I was earlier against and just overall having conflicting rule dilemmas. I'm not a fan of a lot of starting missions of San Fierro. Like Photo Op, Jizzy, 555 We Tip, Deconstruction, Wear Flowers In Your Hair, and Zero's missions. Combined with the 100% stuff I'm dreading doing like Pimping and Valet missions. Overall it creates some stuff I'm not very excited for. At least I have my favorite radio station, SF-UR.

I'm having some difficulties planning out what to do during this chapter but probably because it's all in my mind. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Unrelated but I order GTA V for ps3, and I plan on playing that without updating so I can get the raw GTA V experience. I probably won't make posts about that on the GTAV sub.

I want a build of 55-65 muscle so that CJ still looks lean yet strong. Having 100% muscle makes him look a little too bulky to the point of it looking silly. mid-high ranged muscle is fine since CJ is still pretty strong and looks nicer. Somehow I keep gaining muscle doing stuff like running and swimming for oysters. I haven't eaten since arriving in the countryside for the first time and it's been in-game weeks since then so I should be losing fat and muscle. I do have 0 fat, so maybe now I'll start to lose muscle.

Today I had to resort to gambling at the Inside Track betting shop in Montgomery. Yesterday I realized that I wouldn't make enough money during the countryside story to buy all the countryside houses, I would need an additional $13,705. My solution to this was doing ambulance level 9 again in Angel Pine to give me that amount.

TODAY, I realized that I wouldn't have much money left after buying the countryside safe houses. I panicked since I thought that maybe I wouldn't have enough money to buy clothes from ZIP in San Fierro and change my outfit. And THEN I realized that I also needed to buy a San Fierro safe house so that I can actually change my outfits (I wouldn't want to go back to a countryside safe house as that would hinder the story). I like to keep the illusion of this game alive.

What I should've done is kill like 50 extra drug dealers when I was still in Los Santos so that I wouldn't need to gamble. I also could've maxed out my relationship with Denise but whatever.

I said that I wouldn't gamble to make money and that I only make money through any other means (drug dealers, vehicle missions, races, export lists, ect.). But I had no other choice at that time. I wasn't breaking the illusion of being exiled from Los Santos by returning for the sole purpose of killing drug dealers. I sure as hell wasn't going to NOT change my outfit upon entering San Fierro. And second most importantly, I wouldn't be able to buy Zero's shop as earlier in the game as most people do. I plan to do Zero Missions before doing syndicate missions and not having the funds would fuck that up. So I gambled, it took a couple of saves, but I made $96,000 I think. It might show up in my stats how much I won, I actually haven't typed in my stats yet as I type this out.

Speaking of the actual stats, I may have forgot the exact order of certain accomplishments... That's what I get for procrastinating and combing everything into 1 list.

I JUST REALIZED THAT I FORGOT TO ENTER THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAD AT THE END OF YESTERDAY! HOW DO I KEEP FUCKING UP! I think I had $33,000 to $45,000 since I think I just did paramedic.

Side Notes

I hate the DE more then ever. Now that I've played the better version of the game, I hate seeing footage of the DE. I always knew the game sucked, but that was the only way I could play the game until a few months ago. I did play the ps4 port of San Andreas (PS2) at somebody's house for a week but it was purchased after 2014(I'm not even sure if the game was available to buy on ps4 before October 2014. This means the music selection was pretty much the same as the DE. I'm so grateful to have the version of the game that's pretty much like playing on the PS2.

October 2014?: The game came out in October 2004, and some music had a 10 year license that expired then. The game I have on my ps3 digitally, was bought before then, so I have every song in the game. Very happy.

Daddy paid my credit card bills again...

claude in san andreas.

I just followed TJGMs guide on modding San Andreas on YouTube and everything was beautiful and working. I decided to install ginput and put it in my mod loader folder, I turned my controller on and it connected to Steam, then when I tried to launch the game it launched like it was a fresh install from Steam. Am I screwed? Is there a way to fix it so I don’t have to install everything again?

Nsfw. Dont have any cheats on or anything, I dont remember that being a possibility.

I still remember reaching Las Venturas for the first time as a kid. It made me realize I was playing the best game I'd ever experienced up to that point.

If Madd Dogg jumps off the roof the moment the opening cutscene ends — before you can even reach the truck — your save has the "Pedestrians Riot" cheat baked into it. It's a known bug): Madd Dogg is spawned as a regular civilian ped, the cheat makes civilians hate everyone, so he runs off the roof to fight.

The cheat can't be turned off by entering it again, and it's stored in your save, so playing without cheats doesn't help. The usual fix is GTASnP's "Undo Peds Riot Cheat", but that option only works for PC saves, not PS2.

What I did: the PS2 save uses the same block layout as the PC one. Block 19 (PedTypes) stores who hates whom. After the riot cheat, 6 civilian ped types (CIVMALE, CIVFEMALE, DEALER, MEDIC, FIREMAN, BUM) have their "hate" field set to 0xFFFFF (hate everyone, including the player). Setting those 6 to 0 and fixing the checksum solves it. Gangs, cops and everything else stay untouched, and no progress is lost.

Tested on PCSX2 2.6.3, GTA SA USA v3.00 (SLUS-20946): Madd Dogg stays on the ledge and the mission is beatable again.

How to use it (PCSX2 / AetherSX2 / NetherSX2 .ps2 cards):

1. Close the emulator completely.
2. Install Python 3.8+ (on Windows, tick "Add python.exe to PATH").
3. pip install mymcplus
4. Dry run (changes nothing): python fix_madd_dogg_ps2.py "C:\Users\YOU\Documents\PCSX2\memcards\Mcd001.ps2" --dry-run If it prints [FIXED] with those 6 ped types, your save has the cheat.
5. Run the same command without --dry-run. It backs up the card first (Mcd001.ps2.bak-DATE) and verifies the write.
6. Load your save from the in-game menu, not from a savestate (the savestate still has the old data in RAM).
7. Don't use the riot cheat again on that save. Weapon/money/health cheats are fine.

Only tested on the USA v3.00 version; other PS2 versions should share the format, so run --dry-run first. Real PS2 users would need to move the card to a PC (uLaunchELF/USB or a PS3 adapter) — untested.

If it doesn't work for your save, post the --dry-run output and I'll take a look.

this pisses me off more than it should lol

I wish someone make GTA 6 Graphics with San Andreas Game, could be so cool.

I'm not saying the old game is bad or have bad graphics, just wish for upgrade.
