If you have a dual analogue controller you should try this little piece of software.

(It says its pre setup to work with the original s-controller for box but it's manually configurable)

It uses some weird voodoo memory hook tricks to perfectly emulate the original control system as it was on the ps2.

I don't know if it works with the steam version but it really is worth a try.

kb and mouse will not do the game justice.

Tallon

Well I can just use my PS3 pad, but since I'm playing on the PC. I wanted to keep it legit :P

CrinkElite

Fair enough but as far as I know there is no working controller mapping facility in the pc release.
maybe steam added some but I doubt it.
the game was made for for dual analogue and the original ps2 control system was pure genius.
with the pc version and saac.exe you get the best of both worlds.

on a side note. I assume you're using motioninjoy driver for the ps3 controller?
I had problems with constant disconnects but I suspect this may be due to my crappy bluetooth dongle. how do you find it?

Tallon

Yeah I am.. And DS3tool

That was gas, I used to spend hours just arsing around in it looking for interesting cars and doing insane stunt bonuses too.

Btw you have to unlock those areas across the river with missions or else you get a high wanted level like that.

If you want to get into the airport, park your car beside the security hut at the gate, climb on top of the car & from there onto the roof of the hut.

The gate will open from the inside & you can go back out for the car if you want.

Everything was coming back to me within the hour but now about two weeks on and I'm still remembering stuff and even finding stuff I didnt notice the first time around! :eek: The game is just epic in ever sense of the word.

I downloaded this off xbox live the other night for 1200 points (about €13) and i'm totally addicted again !!!!
what an epic game, really makes GTA4 look like the piece of un-fun crap that it is !!!!
MW3 is gonna be collecting dust now for a while !

I'm playing San Andreas again too on Xbox. It's amazing. It has all the great ingredients for a great GTA. I mean, having a home and a community was a great feeling. Grove St. Hanging around with your homies while they smoke doob, drink booze, drive bys etc.

I'm now currently doing missions in the Badlands, laying low, keeping a low profile. I always wear the proper attire for each area I'm doing missions, to make it more immerseve. For example, I'm wearing wood camo trousers with the hunting jacket instead of looking like a full blown G, standing out like a sore thumb.

It's brilliant. Also, CJ is pretty badass. He shouts the most ridiculous things at people when he's driving it has me in stitches.

Dammit I'm jealous - I have GTA SA for my old laptop, but I've since got a new one, and I'm not sure if I still have the CD code for the game.

I'll have a look though, cause I really enjoyed that game!

It took me ageeees to get past the motorbike/train mission, which nearly put me off the game for good.

I found the story really good for the game, and loved the ending.

The GTA series is amazing, I can see why they went down the more serious road for GTA IV, but tbh I didn't enjoy the characters and story as much.

Just started playing chinatown wars (DS), doesn't look the greatest when compared witht the 3ds games but still amazing fun

That mission, was the hardest when I first done it. I did it recently and it was easier. Trick is not to turn the bike left or right so much so the bullets hit level with the guys on the train.

I spent hours doing that before accidentally finding a very easy method. There is a bridge support beam fairly early. I got ahead of the train to try get it from the other side since I couldnt get it the way I assume was intended. Ended up going up the bridge support and almost landing on top of the train. Tried it again, got ahead and waited then simply drove on to the back of the train and it was done before I even got to the scrap yard place
