    The problem is that, if you have like 300 +games you have too look for every specific game (already have a few tpks) and its kind of a pain in the ass, if they could have them all on a id server just scan, like the emulator does when it boots up then download the p with the emulator for the game it'd be a lot more convinient

    For those interested in playing San Andreas on an Android Phone or Tablet, the PS2 version is by far the best option, using the NetherSX2 patch for AetherSX2, which is a port of PCSX2. It works brilliantly and looks great, but keep in mind that hardware requirements can be a bit high for lower end devices, especially if you decide to crank up the resolution (which isn't that necessary on a small screen). Touch controls are supported, but I would recommend using a controller. You can even use a real PS2 controller with a PS2 controller to USB-A and a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Unwieldy with a phone, but quite nifty on a tablet. A modern 10 or 12" tablet is probably of similar size as the little bedroom TV that many of us experienced this game first on back when it came out.

    For me the PS2 is the first. I think, it's still the best version of the game. IF you considering to play more seriously the game, then the PC version. The XBox is an interesting one. It was a kinda mixed port. It never was a huge succsess, and that's why this is the most unknown version of the game. And lastly the Def. Ed... no... never... Stay away everything SA related, that was made by the Wardrum, later GSG studio...

    Good video. It's a shame it's not easier to find the perfect way to play this game. A rom for the game is getting harder to find to emulate. The game has been removed from Steam, and the DE version is still not fully fixed yet. I've been playing the DE version for now, it's OK but still needs more fixes. I've tried modding the Steam version before, but I couldn't stop it from crashing. That's one reason I like the DE version, it looks a little nicer and doesn't crash.

    I kind of missed the GTA bandwagon. When the original game came out, I didn't have either a PS1 or a DOS computer to run it. I had an Amiga until I got a system with Windows 98 on it around 2000. When GTA3 came out, my system didn't meet the requirements. Bt the time I had one fast enough, Vice City and San Andreas were out, and I kind of wanted to play them in order. That never happened. The first GTA game that I actually tried playing is Liberty City Stories in PPSSPP. While I like the game over-all, there are things about the game design that I find rage inducing. Like not being able to instantly restart a failed level in a challenge, or having to start an entire challenge over again if I fail one level of it. Not to mention the braindead auto-aim that usually locks onto everyone BUT your preferred target in crowded locations. While I think a modded computer version would be the best looking, if it didn't have the ability to save and load the game at will, I would NEVER have the patience to play it. I would have quit LCS after about 10 minutes without save states. Plus, if I'm going to play a game on a system with a mouse, I want the ability to aim with the mouse.

    No offense but if I have to pick between sloppy AI crap and the original textures, I'll go with the originals. People should really study the process behind making textures that are faithful to the originals from scratch like Nerrel did for Ocarina of Time and other games instead of cheaping out on what should be a labor of love.

    Honestly for me I find the emulated PS2 version and the modded steam release is the way to go for a more close nostalgic feel. DE if they reverted the weird sims artstyle they went with could help it further I feel. Though DE is still just a disappointment overall to me since it could've been so great if they did one game at a time instead of all 3 at once.

    The way I see it, the best way to play it is via native PC port. And I'm not talking about the Steam release. I'm talking about OG physical release. I mean, I own one so it's not a problem for me. But if you want a PS2 graphics then there is mods that fit all your needs. And then you can buy and use PS2 controller for the PC, that you can plug-in via adapter or just buy a PC adapted version of it. There is also a fix that allows the PC version of the game to see the controller properly. But I personally play on Mouse and Keyboard so it doesn't bother me at all. But why not emulating the game, you may ask? Well, simply because the emulation can have it's problems. Like bugs, stutters, performance issues and stuff like that. So emulation is not a solution here. Also, native PC version can be played with resolution that you want and also in full 60 FPS and even 4K. And yes, I'm still talking about original PC port and not a remastered one.
