Hi all.
I have noticed at the MTA:SA Forums that over time have been a lot of threads of people asking if they can run MTASA with San Andreas V1.01
and most of the time, it results in some random (Sometimes even Moderators) telling them to Fuck Off, and then shortly after the topic becomes locked.
Well, for all those people, i can gladly say that YES, MTASA WILL RUN WITH v1.01 of the game IF ceartian modifications are made.
And heres the walkthru:
For people wanting to Upgrade to V1.01
ok, its fairly simple, Make sure your v1.0 of san andreas is installed allready. Make sure MTA:SA is installed and runs.
Make a Backup of your ORIGINAL V1.0 GTA_SA.EXE file (Found in \Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\)
Then Install the V1.01 Update.
After the V1.01 Update is installed, replace the new .exe with the GTA_SA.EXE that you made a backup of.
Then load MTA and it will all work fine.
That is the method that i used to update to V1.01 to get rid of a LOT of the Sound Dropouts caused often by "Bounce Mines"
For people who allready have v1.01
You will need to get a Hold of an Original V1.0 GTA_SA.EXE (If you have patched up to 1.01 manually, then the gta_saexe that you want is on the CD/DVD) If you dont have the V1.0 Exe on your CD/DVD, then you can get one from http://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/c915890_0.htm *
(i reccomend the Hoodlum Version of this download as i have used it and it works fine.)
Once you have replaced the GTA_SA.EXE with a V1.0 GTA_SA.EXE you should be able to Install and Run MTASA without any problems.
I hope this solves many peoples Questions about getting MTA to work with V1.01 of GTA:SA.
