Prerequisites

• Firstly, you have to get the missing files. Use a disk version that has the cut songs, or downgrade your Steam/Rockstar Launcher copy. You can find how to do that online.
• Download SAAT 1.10 by alcy and extract it.
• Download SAAF by nick7 build 239 and extract it.
• Download FFMPEG release essentials and extract in your SAAT target directory.
• Download ffmpeg_convert_gtasa.bat (rightclick -> Save as) and copy it to your SAAT target directory.

Restoring The Cut Songs

• Once you have an older version of the game, copy the STREAMS audio folder to the saat folder you extracted.
• Use the command prompt on the directory you extracted the files to. Hold Shift and right click the saat directory, and choose CMD or Powershell. Then use the command .\saat_stream.exe -e .\STREAMS\* .\input in the oppened console.
• It will export them as track_001.ogg, track_002.ogg etc, to the input folder our .bat folder will use.
• Convert them with the ffmpeg conversion script, by copying both the script and ffmpegs exe files into the SAAT directory, and double clicking the ffmpeg_convert_gtasa.bat file, or running it in the open console window.
  • You can change Volume levels and MP3 VBR quality preset by changing volume=0db and -q:a 2 in the ffmpeg commands, but the defaults are solid. The mobile game only supports mono mp3s.
• After the conversion, compress the converted .mp3 files in the newly created output folder, into .zip files for each folder meaning CH, DS, RJ, etc, and compression set to "store" with 7z or WinRAR.
• Rename the file extension from .zip to .osw for each one of them but leave their original name untouched. For example: DS.osw, CH.osw, etc.
• Use SAAF by nick7 to open each .osw file, it'll create an .osw.idx file.
• Finally, after creating the .osw.idx files for each one of them, just copy all of the .osw with their .osw.idx files to the STREAMS folder on your vita in ux0:data/gtasa/audio/STREAMS and overwrite if asked.
