thats the shit now all i have to do is get the game

Actually its not the shit… it is shit. Not being able to use MP3 files that are already on the stick is retarded.

#2, what do you mean mang i dont get

They really fucked up by doing that… At first, I was always telling people that this is the one game worth buying, and that we shouldn’t pirate it.

First we found out that it only runs on 2.0, and now it can’t play mp3s, but only files converted from store bought CDs. Fuck that. As soon as someone figures out how to run the game with 1.5, I’m buying a two gig stick and downloading that bitch.

I downloaded the program and loaded a burned cd into the cd drive and it reads it and all. I dont own the game yet (Having trouble deciding if 1.5 should go for awhile) so i dont know if it will convert it but it most likely will.

How the hell do you get that peice of crap to work

hey guys i thinks theirs away around only using cds and being able to used backed up music but i don’t have any of my cds with me so i need to know if anyone used it what directory does the music go to?

You can’t use burnt CDs because official CDs have some kind of signature that says that it’s an authentic CD, and not a copied one.

all u have to do is wait and some1 will find a way around using the .gta music files (.gta files r the cutom tracks) and then we can use mp3’s off the mem stick :)

um…dont you guys know that you can just use that wab thing to trick it to be a 2.0…and use your 1.5 to play it….(this was directed to number 4)because it sounds like you didnt know…

and oh yea! fuck psp! im getting a nano, i dont play games, what am i a child? i use my psp for music, and its only 1gb, and it costs about 100$ for that? and the volume is low as hell? eh. im getting a nano bitches. you guys needa get off games!

that sucks that you can’t use mp3’s but im sure someone will figure out how to use them in the future. meanwhile does anyone know how this works. what folder do i put the music in and how do i get it to run with my gta lcs?

where do the .gta music files go???

#10 u r a n00b becasue by know every1 knows that u need version 2.0 to play gta
im not going to explain it to u so stfu

Someone figured out how to use downloaded tracks!

How about making a music cd image then loading it up with Daemon tools and then converting from there. I dont see why it wouldnt work.

crap, 15’s link beat me to it ;__;

Heres a tip everybody. view the readme in the zip. Buy a cdrw. burn a cd with songs u like on it. convert the songs onto ure psp. and repeat. it works

i just tryed the iso way of putting music into gta and it doesnt work
when u make ur iso and then mount it then select the drive in the custom music converter it says “no audio cd in drive”

but at least the burnt cd way works

i used some mp3’s from my computer, burn them to a audio cd form and they worked well. i look to see where their going. they r put in the save data folder for gta witho its own custom tracks folder.

#15 is a way to do it… but it takes A LOT MORE WORK…. I found a damn fast way to do it…

take a read….

you can get the applications at this site as well as read the instructions i wrote

i get an unhandled exception error at 0060867D -> DIVIDE_BY_ZERO

ecc says “Can’t Open Selected CODEC”

02 Give it away -red hot chilli peppers.wav even though the file is mp3

#8 ur a fucking moron, of cource u can use the copied cds, i just did that with 2 copied ones

If u don’t want to burn your songs on a cd try this:
Programs needed:
Nero
Daemon Tools
Rockstar Converter

Steps:
Use Nero to make your CD.
Do not burn the CD, just create an image of it.

Load the image with Daemon Tools

With the Rockstar Converter, choose the virtual drive that has the CD image and convert.

!!EVERYBODY READ!!
This program is the same exact one as the
EAC PSP program from codemasters. TOCA 2 also supports custom tracks. But the good thing about the codemaster one is that it supports mp3s from your hard drive..I tried it and it works!!

OK what you do is go to your PSP Game Save folder and create a NEW FOLDER called ULUS10041CUSTOMTRACKS this is where the custom tracks will be located. Then get yourself a hold of the EAC PSP edition..I got mine at psp-spot.com, I think they also have it here but i didn’t check..

Run the EAC PSP program and there should be an option to convert mp3’s from your hard disk. It will then ask you for an output folder, choose theULUS10041CUSTOMTRACKS in your psp. It will now convert the mp3 files you chose and convert to the proper
format. The program converts the mp3s to .toc files.

Lastly, after conversion is complete go to the output folder and rename all your music from .toc to .gta (make sure you are able to view file extensions in windows or else it won’t work)

After all of that boot up GTA and go to the audio options and turn on custom tracks, then get in a car. and ENJOY!!

#25 nope it doesnt ACCEPT mp3s , only wav files get an error about codecs read post #21

Paul,
It must be your computer cuz I just converted a whole bunch of my mp3s and they all worked fine.

i love you number 14!! thank you for making me feel bad!!! psp sucks hairy sack, fuck gta, fuck psp, you idiots need to get a life, video games are for children, im going to blast out some old ass system of a down, have a nice day people

Im using “Bought” CDs and its not allowing me to burn or w/e

Theres some real nuckleheads at rockstar I say

Yup they are knucklehead. I got over 400 songs on my mem stick thatI CANT FING USE!!!!!

no use for me i beat it now gonna downgrade

i am converting them now but if this works it is freakin awesome because i haate the radio stations that come on the game, unlike sa i got used to them but there really isnt any music to the game all talk shows, i dont het how u said that u can use mp3s to convert what it the program to use for that?

why are people trippin bout goin to 2.0….just downgrade back to 1.50 when u want…duh.

help i cant downgrade no more

Yo!!!! I jus used a burnt cd and uploaded it to GTA!!!

u can just burn ur music on a cd-r and then convert dumb stupid newbs firmeware 1.50 sucks anyways no good hacks are out
and if u still want to play old games buy the systems u gotta be retarded to play super mario or other bull shit on psp

actually #8 … burnt cd’s can be used….i just tried it and it works!

so far iv tryed 3 different way of getting the music on gta and only the burnt cd way works

so hackers this is an open opertunity for u to start making this work without a cd

PEOPLE ….stop bein so mean about this stuff. Just chill and have fun. 36…who cares what people want to play….chill out. They arent all little clones of you. People like differnt stuff…so stop with the hate.

ok listen noobs… first of all to the ppl who are like O yea u can just use to WAB tricker to make it think its a 2.0.. Ultimate noob right there. if you READ like you should you need to have the 2.0 with the video player,thats the reason GTA on the stick isnt working. Secondly, Sony loves to screw you over, this isnt Rockstars doing, Sony actually MADE the game have this “pirate safe” software. What you dont understand is how easy it is to manually go into the iso file and take out these files that are making you have .. 1) bought cds 2) making you have a 2.0 psp. and 3) these crappy stations.

If 90% of the people on this site wernt friggan retarts then you would have half a brain to just rebuild the iso and take out the files needed.. they pretty much are self explanitory.

And another thing… Homebrew kicks ASSSSSSSS

umm when i start the program, it says - ATRAC3 codec not found on your system! Refer to the documentary! - what does that mean!? How come this is working for you guys lol.. Please help

Hey i Just posted an easier method on fart_sniffers thread go check it out it is super easy to put your own ripped mp3’s theres a link to where i found it also give the person credit were credit is due also you can thenk me later when you are plying your own music instead os those song in the game. peace out my friends

# 43 ….what are u talkin bout? what is fart sniffers?

Arg…I have a mac! Now i have to wait like a month or more(maybenever) for a mac version. or I can always go over a friends house and do it there.

Oh…its at the top….im sorry. Mabey I should read before asking questions. Got it workin fine and love it.

*This way is an easy way to put you own MP3 in GTA LCS Coustom Radio

*If this does noy work tell me I have another way but with one extra step

1. Connect you PSP to your computer

2. Go into “PSP”

3. Now Go into “SAVEDATA”

4. Make A new folder called “ULUS10041CUSTOMTRACKS” (If this did not work go to the bottom)

5.Now you must convert you MP3 into “.gta”

6. So Download and install (after it install choose manually restart computer) -

http://www.mobiledeviant.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=149

7. Open the program

8. Drag an Drop the MP3 you wish to use

9. Once that is done get you file that the program converted it to

10. Change the end of the file to “.gta”

11. Now put this in the folder you made in step 4

12. Start Up GTA LCS and go to “audio” and change the options so it suppots Coustom soundtracks

THE END

**If this proseses does not work go back to step 4 and do it over again**

Step 4 - In “SAVEDATA” go and find your GTA folder

Now make an new folder with the name of you GTA floder in “SAVEDATA”

Now add delet the last to numbers or leters in the name and add ” CUSTOMTRACKS” to the end of it with no space

example- #########CUSTOMTRACKS

And add your “.gta” files to it

THE END

me again u can use this instead of the program rockstar provided u ;)

HEY # 47 !!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

i get an unhandled exception error at 0060867D -> DIVIDE_BY_ZERO

ecc says “Can’t Open Selected CODEC”

#11 Seems you wasted 350 dollars you dumb fuck no one cares for ur pos nano # 12 if u have a usb cable and ur psp connected they go directly to ur psp

HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP PLEASE!! LOL SRY BUT IT’S JUST THAT WHEN I INSTALL IT N TRY TO OPEN IT I GET THE ERROR “ATRAC CODEC WAS NOT FOUND ON YOUR SYSTEM. PLEASE REFER TO THE DOCUMENTATION.” I ALREADY INSTALLED THE CODEC AND IT STILL GIVES THAT ERROR. PLEASE HELP!!!

THANKS.

SRY I MEANT “ATRAC3 CODEC”

Hey, all, I’m an enlightened soul so don’t brace yourself for a dumbass question or fanboy bullshit, here: I use the EAC Codemasters mp3-converting whatever to make a bunch of custom soundtrack songs and they work FINE (Seriously, you guys with codec problems prolly don’t have the software you need to encode mp3s, aacs, whatev… go get divx, lame, even iTunes, it DOES work!). Here’s the problem, and I’ve seen it noted elsewhere — some songs, in-game, just display the title for a second, then skip to the next one. I haven’t been able to figure out what it is about ‘em that makes the game not play them. Any well-informed ideas about why this might be happening? Thanks!

What does the CODEC error mean? I’m getting them when I try and open the GTA program and the EAC program.

“The ATRAC3 Codec was not found on your system.”

How do I correct this?

Argh! I went to free-codecs.com, downloaded the ATRAC3 codec and I still can’t get the Rockstar program or the EAC program to load.

WHAT THA FUCK R U TALKING ABOUT I JUST GOT THA CONVERTER PROGRAM AND ITS WORKIN WITH ALL MY BURND CD SO I GUESSE THA REST OF U LAMERS R OUT OF LUCK LMFAO

BBM, why the smart ass comments? It’s not called for and not appreciated.

Speaking of “LMFAO”, have you ever taken a grammer course? Solid use of punctuation there ass wipe. :D

This is bullshit. My comp also says that there was no atrac3 codec found. Rockstar is so fucking shitty. They have no support for people with my dilemma. It would of been logical for those fucks to allow gta to load mp3s from the mem. stick.

shut the fuck up nostradumbasses;the psp is the only place you will find gta portable besides that shitty gameboy advanced gta.just do a project with magic zip of making mp3 into .toc files*

hey i’m glad to play my tracks when i play gta

thta shit was soo simple first i got the game stared playing then on options i saw custom tracks.So iwas like okay my mp3’s should work then they don’t so i check the instruction manual nope nothing.so then i google “eac psp”then tada*i going to see if the nero way is better though

on cheating…on gta if you want to change character skins with out the game messing up by only going foward and not being able to turn.First do the weapons set with the minigun ,stay equiped with the minigun ,do the character skins cheat.And you’ll still be able to turn.

This message is for Doug; After your aneurysm, try Google “ATRAC3 codec” and then download the driver. It’s a simple two minute procedure.
