Downgrading GTASA to 1.01 and 1.0, legally! [GTASA 3.0]

[PhantomGamers]

I made a tool for the Steam-Powered Users Forum (SPUF), to downgrade to versions 1.01 and 1.0 legally without downloading shady cracks that could possibly be trojans.

This uses binary differences, as I do believe the 2.0 version does.

It's made for the 3.0 version of the EXE, so Steam owners of SA can also play MTA with 1.0 and use 16:9 resolutions with 1.01!

The thread on SPUF:

Hey guys, I put together a quick program that patches the Steam (3.0) version of the game down to version 1.01/1.0.

This uses binary differences, and I am in no way distributing the game files.

The readme file provides instructions on how to run it.

But basically you just put the gta-sa.exe file Steam downloads into the folder of run.bat, and you run the batch file.

It will then create a gta_sa.exe, which is the 1.01/1.0 version of the game.

This will allow you to play in the 720p and 1080p resolutions.

One of the members of SPUF suggested I post this here, so here I am.

Enjoy the tool, and if you need any help or have any suggestions feel free to post them here!

I did indeed read the forum rules here, and I see this:

° You shall not advertise non-MTA related products, services and websites on our forums and other pages.

I am unsure if linking the the steam thread is violating this?

I will remove the link if necessary

Also sorry if this is the wrong section, out of all of the options it seemed best to post this here.
