gta san andreas: how do I make it save?

Hi there,
I was wondering how to make san andreas save. It always gives me an error and tells me to check my save directory. I know there is a save dir patch available on the site, but as it uses msdos and I'm running windows xp, it doesn't help me much. I thought it would be much simpler if someone who can save the game just told me what the save directory is ( I thought c:\ gta san andreas user files, but it turns out not to be ), and what files and folders it should contain. If so, I could fix the problem.

Thanks very much all of you

Marius Zebo

so, if I replace the current gta san andreas.exe file with the one given by hoodlums crack folder, I can still run the game and save it? Tell me if I got it right.

Thanks

You also can just reinstall the game from your original cd/dvd, to get the correct save directory.

I had to reinstall the game about 3 times before it worked properly!

Hi marius zebo,

Yes, my savegame dir patch is a DOS software but it works under any Windows. If it doesn't work for you, please, start a DOS command line, navigate to the game installation directory, copy the patch there and start it there from the DOS command line. If you get an error message or something, please, quote it exactly. Good luck!

Still doesn't work

I downloaded the Hoodlum's "GTA: San Andreas v1.0 [ALL] No-CD/Fixed EXE" from GCW, like i said, and then i pathed it with your save dir patch, but it still crash...
Oh, and this archive is the same that the one wich is in the Inspire's pack...
So, it's probably the same exe
That's also why it doesn't change anything, gta_sa.exe still crash when i try to load the 100% game save...

EDIT : It finally works !! The prolem was the High And Drunk Mod, i replaced this main.scm with the original and the 100% game save loaded !

Ty, for your help, now i'm gonna test if i can play with the mod. i saved now i'm gonna load but with the mod installed...

EDIT 2 : Ok, it doesn't work with the mod ^^ ! xD
