So, if you really interested in SA PS2 modding, I can help. Here it is my tutorial:

 

====================

 

You need this tool (in browser replace .moo with .ru) and Winamp.

Here it is a simple list of stations:

CH.PAK -> Playback FMCO.PAK -> K-RoseCR.PAK -> K-DSTDS.PAK -> Bounce FMHC.PAK -> SF-URMH.PAK -> Los Santos RadioMR.PAK -> Radio XNJ.PAK -> CSR 103RE.PAK -> K-JAH Radio WestRG.PAK -> Master Sounds 98.3 

 

Copy chosen station and file "TRAKLKUP.DAT" into any directory, for example, "Radio_PS2". In the same folder you need to extract "Pack_Extract-Rebuild_Radio_GTA_SA". Now open "Streams_PAK.exe". In "Table File" choose "TRAKLKUP.DAT", in "Big File" choose station, which we want to replace (for example, "CO.PAK"). Now press "Extract LBA", and next "Extract Big File". Now in directory "Radio_PS2" will be created folder with VAG files "@CO.PAK".

 

Open "Radio Station Fichiers Batch", here it is 10 .bat files, every for every station. Copy .bat from station, which we want to replace (for example, "ÑÎ.bat"), in to folder "Radio_PS2". Now open this .bat with any text editor and see how much tracks station has (for example "K-Rose - CO.PAK" has 15).

 

Now run Winamp, add to playlist new music, which want to replace the standard in GTA SA (the number of tracks we look at a particular station bat file), then press Ctrl + P, and in settings we need a partition Plugins -> Output (Plugins -> Output ). Once there, select the plug "NullsoftDisk Writer Plug-in" and press the Settings button (Configure). In the window that appears, specify the directory where the program will save WAV files, and put daw to "Convert to format" (Convert to Format) and select PCM 44,100 Khz; 16 bit; stereo, click on OK and close the main Winamp window settings. Now click the Play (before you click Play, make sure that you do not include repeat) and wait until Winamp converts all the tracks from the playlist in wav format. Now we come to our main directory and give the names of all the wav files song1, song2, song3, song4, song5 ... in general, if the tracks at the station for example 15, respectively, refer to files from song1 to song15.

 

Now run .bat file of the station, you will begin to build a new radio, after each song with a message box appears "Wait for MFAudio to finish, then click ok". Click OK, wait, back window again and click OK, and so to the end. Once the process is finished, start again" Streams_PAK.exe". In 'Table File", as before, choose "TRAKLKUP.DAT", well, a Big File naturally "CO.PAK". Now, push the button Rebuild Big File, then click Rebuild LBA, after all this in a folder Radio_PS2 have 2 files "NEW-CO.PAK" and "NEW-TRAKLKUP.DAT", removing the original "TRAKLKUP.DAT" and "CO.PAK", a new offer, such as names, as original) Well now the finishing touch, go to our folder "GTA - San Andreas_PS2", when we come to a folder, "AUDIO / CONFIG" and change the original file "TRAKLKUP.DAT" and the same with file "CO.PAK" - go to the folder "AUDIO / STREAMS" and replace the original "CO.PAK".

 

Radio ready!

 

====================

Btw, I am making a tool for editing textures on PS2, do you want to test it? Unfortunally practically nobody interested in console GTA-modding, esepesially San Andreas. But it is great to play mods on your PS2.

Very nice, hope that tut is not very hard

Can you record video from your PS2? (by connecting with PC TV-tuner or somerthing like it)

[spikounet]

hello, I have a problem with the music in wav format, the program gives me an error during the conversion.

Do you have pictures or screens to complete the tutorial.

it would be perfect for the future.

because apparently, I'm probably an error in one step.

thank you.

I use a translator, because I'm French.

edit: it's good, I succeeded, I "find your program.

thank you for your tutorial
