There's mod packs around, but I wouldn't really bother with them. They're often put together wrong and if you want to install anything seperate, you've to figure out which mods could potentially conflict or not. Plus there's the issue of some mod authors being overly protective of their mods, and don't want people "stealing" their work (lol). I'd recommend sticking to just learning how to install mods yourself :)
Hello, there were two editing mistakes when you were comparing performance: -At 30:37, it's supposed to be ' "dualpass=0" = 125 Avg FPS ' and the other one ' "dualpass=1" = 105 Avg FPS '. -At 31:03, it's supposed to be "grassBackfaceCull=1".
My man you don't know how important this video is. It's absolute gold mine for original enthusiasts who lived the ps2 era gta. You're a Living Legend my dude. Fellas, let's make this man's work get some respect. Get him million views and subs already.
I remember modding back when I was young, it was so disorganized and messy, now thanks to a few years of experience and also your guides, revisiting modding GTA SA is much more cleaner and organized compared to years back. That and also being able to learn some new technical things about a childhood nostalgic game is pretty neat too! Thanks a lot for your videos ^^
The effort you put into these videos and the huge amount of information/knowledge gain I experienced because of your awesomeness is utterly fantastic. You are great :1
Damn nice video, SkyGFX is literally the only mod I need to have installed all the time, it just changes soo much and I absolutely ADORE the orange tint of the ps2. In pair with project 2dfx is a must mod and thanks for pointing out things otherwise would have been really hard to discover by myself!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for this very informative video! SkyGFX was the mod I was least familiar with in terms of configuration and this video helped me better understand it and configure it to my liking. And my settings are actually very close to yours except with the blur values, because I think the blur effects gives the game the 90's vibes and I love it! Thank you once again and I'm looking forward to your next video!
Amazing guide, I've used SkyGfx for 5 years now and never bothered to test everything. Only one thing with Blood drops: I don't like them because they appear when you break wooden stuff like destroying fences with melee attacks or shooting at trees from up close
Your GTA SA Mod Showroom videos are absolutely incredible! I just binge watched all of them and adjusted my own GTA SA mod configuration accordingly. With the Definitive Edition being such a disappointment, I am glad that people like you keep the game and the modding community alive and accessible. Keep up your great work!
@@spiderman4538 the thing that the ps2 version does better is the graphical details like the heatwaves you can see on a hot day or around a fire and the heatwaves are different for example the ones from a fire are stronger
DE quality is not from R*, it's from Grove shit games, and it's with unreal engin. These plastic quality make your eyes hurts not good quality, original better.
Thank you very much for replying. And speaking of the Xbox timecyc, I can't say anything for sure about the day time but I've seen some unique sky colours during the night. I've seen a comparison video of GTA SA classic XBOX vs PC and a video showcasing a mod which ports the classic XBOX version improvements to the PC version in a Spanish RUclips channel STREETSKULLS. The Xbox version nights have a deep purple coloured sky just like PS2 during some specific time and it looks awesome. As you've mentioned that the Rainy Countryside weather at 8 pm is broken in the PC timecyc, in the same way some other weather effects are also not present or broken in the PC timecyc which are present in the XBOX timecyc like some sandstorms effects in desert areas during the day or afternoon. Also, as you have mentioned that the spectacular lightings on peds and vehicles are broken in the PC timecyc, but this time the light reflection on vehicles caused by the headlights of other vehicles are broken on the XBOX. I'm not sure that this effect is broken because of some flaws in the XBOX timecyc or because of any other reason. BTW this effects works perfectly on the peds.
I've seen the whole mod showroom series and you're the best modder out there. The way you explain everything you could become a great teacher. You deserve more love.
Damn that amount of information I received from ur video is 🔥. You should be working for Rockstar! Initially I didn't even know how different the PS2 and PC versions were. I always had this feeling something was different in GTA SA PS2 ver. It's sad that Devs didn't do a good job porting this masterpiece well for PC. I believe the orange sky effect and low shadows were added, to reduce the load on PS2 hardware. But it's the orange sky in SA is what made it nostalgic and was loved by everyone 😍. Great video dude.
This is a must have mod for the PC versions. Ever since I found out about it, I cannot play the game without these. Vice City especially benefits so much with SkyGFX/Trails option, it gives the game a new life basically.
This mod is something that can be a headache if you don't know what are you modifying. I'm very happy for seeing this really good content, I wanna thank you for your effort, your way to explain and giving us a chance to try this awesome mode for the game, keep on doing this please!
Could never decide whether I like the Original Playstation 2 version or the Original Xbox Version better. Each has their qualities/ pros and cons I love both versions. The Xbox version also doesn't have alot of the bugs that the PC port has. Amazingly on the PC version you can essentially combine the best features of the different versions with mods, get rid of of bugs, and have better frame rate and stability than the PS2 version.
Nice vid, i have this mod since months, make another one with SkyUI, z map + fixes, framerate vigilante, mixsets, org patch, Pre-lighting Fixes Pack, etc. Edit: 22:46 Thanks for fix, that issue was present in "vertical bird" mission, and i don´t have it anymore
thank you so much brother ive watched ur tutorial even after modding 10 plus years i have still learned so much! ur by far the best modding teacher out there !
disableGamma=0 I recommend to test it out in the desert on roads between Las Venturas and the abandoned airport. If set to 1, the nights are pretty dark, no matter how high you set the brightness. Car lights don't help to enlighten the environment. So the solution is either to set this value to 0, or using some additional lights-mods I think.
These guides are incredible! I cant imagine the time this took to make. Thank you so much. In the off chance you see this comment, I'm curious how this mod interacts with ROSA Project? The reason I would like to use SkyGFX is for the haze, building lighting, and orange sun present in the ps2 version of the game. But I would still like to be using the hd textures from ROSA Project. It seems like with this mod I cannot retain those hd textures.
@@TJGM Not trying to kiss your ass, but watching this again and I may have understated the quality. This is fantastic... perfect. Again, great work and thank you for this extremely in-depth video.
Am I the only one who doesn't like that orange glow from the PS2 ? The reason why I bought the PC version was because I found it better than the PS2 version...This was after I bought the PS2 version hahahaha, but I also liked the fact that you could improve the game much more with the pc-version and could do things with the pc-version that were never possible onb the PS2.
Hmm, I do understand why some people might not like it; but, as for myself, as soon as I started to notice that the complexity behind the atmosphere and differentiation/diversity in tones/colours were considerably much higher and varied than any other version, I started to look at it with different lenses, to the point that all the other versions of the game looked "bland" in my eyes. And, while those mods do restore much of the atmosphere for the PC, I still don't feel like it does the job exactly how the PlayStation 2 hardware handles it since it might be significantly less nuanced.
Thank you! I don't think so, I think I'd prefer to play on original hardware than an emulator for these games. Otherwise, I'd just play on PC with mods.
Hey TJGM please reply, it's important. You've very beautifully explained the differences between the PS2 and PC timecyc. I've understood that the PS2 timecyc is much better than the PC one. But, I wanted to know about the classic XBOX timecyc. I've seen a couple of mods in the internet which provide the classic XBOX timecyc. I would be thankful to you if you explain that it's good to use the XBOX timecyc or not.
What settings would you recommend to make SkyGFX as accurate as possible to the PS2? I know about the blur thing but is there anything else you would recommend? Love your content btw! :)
The default settings along with the blur is probably the closest you’ll get. Using the seabed.ipl file from the PS2 version is also better too, it lowers the draw distance which also increases sun size.
I wonder if people will do SkyGFX 2.0 for the Definitive Edition. Saw how wack this comment is so I gotta say. This video is so well done, I'm surprised you got so Little Subscribers. Can we get this man like 100k ASAP?
@@TJGM that'll be great bro, bro I have a request for you.. if possible then please make a tutorial on Open Limit Adjuster as there're so many things to configure and only you can give us the best configuration
@@Roy3.16 You don’t have to configure anything with Project 2DFX. If a mod needs a limit changed the author will say or provide his own configuration for it (like P2DFX).
@@mariobutoto534 PS2 seabed.ipl has lines under a section called tcyc (timecycle), which makes the sun bigger and I think increases the draw distance? I’m not 100% sure.
Hey man, great video, definitely helps alot! Thank you so much. One part i didnt get it is the grassbackfacecull Its already set as grassbackfacecull=0 by default with the Skygfx. Im wondering is setting as grassbackfacecull=1 will increase the performance or set as =0? Once again thank you for your videos bro, looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi. I have tested that when I install the SkyGFX mod, the wet road reflections when is raining didn't work. When I remove the SkyGFX, the reflections works if you have the Silent Path installed. Maybe the SkyGFX and the Silent Path have some conflict? Edit: I have discovered that this happens when are installed the SkyGFX and the Widescreen fix (2018 version) mods at the same time. If I have the 2021 version of widescreen, then this not happen and the reflections work well
Dual Pass is important, in comparison to Grass Backface Culling. Without Dual Pass, the Z-Index of the grass is wrong, and the closer grass renders behind the further grass. There's a mistake at 31:31 .. 0 + 0 = 183 FPS
I like to use the mobile color filter but in some interiors everything is totally dark and the same thing happens with the ps2 filter; does this have a solution friend? greetings✌
Hi, your guide is super helpful, but i have one question: So if the ps2 colour filter messes up custom timecyc, then should the colour filter be set to pc when using the ps2 timecyc mod? Any help would be appreciated!
Hi. Dunno if you’ll see this but can you give an educated opinion. Should I turn on YCbCr i the SkyGfx.ini. It makes the color even more accurate to the PS2 but I haven’t seen anyone mentioning this.
Hi. I'm trying to install "DirectX 3 Test Remastered" onto my GTA SA game. I followed your second video and installed the essentials. But when i install the Direct X 3 Test Remastered" files nothing happens. I press play, and it doesn't even boot the game at all. Nothing was overwritten. Do you know why this is happening? I really like the look of that mod and want to test it. Thank you.
Is there a way to link the ps2 timesyc so that it's used only when SkyGFX is enabled? Also, I'm using Silent's ASI loader, as I couldn't get any mods to work with the ultimate modloader. Edit: I found that the modloader actually creates options in game instead of only recognizing known mods. This way I can turn it off while still being ready in case I want to turn it on along with SkyGFX. Thank you for the video by the way!
How do I save the changes made in Skygy Effects? I saved them in the notes blog (on the skygy1) and when I play again, it goes back to being the PS2 one again
I don't know if it is skygfx or some mod to install, but it happens that when I installed skygfx with my configuration, an bug occurred that made the road signs and the routes that always appear when you leave a city, look empty Without the letters, could you help me find out if it is an option in the skygfx ini?
I had the same problem. I eventually figured out that the widescreen mod I was using from a San Andreas essentials mod pack caused the wet reflections from silentpach to disappear only when using skygfx. I removed that widescreen mod and installed GTA SA Widescreen fix instead and now the wet reflections work with skygfx.
Hi i followed through ur guide exactly as u said, but now in my game im getting a green flat texture in faraway objects like traffic light poles and trash cardboard boxes around the map. Can u help me ?

Edit: I found that the modloader actually creates options in game instead of only recognizing known mods. This way I can turn it off while still being ready in case I want to turn it on along with SkyGFX. Thank you for the video by the way!
How do I save the changes made in Skygy Effects? I saved them in the notes blog (on the skygy1) and when I play again, it goes back to being the PS2 one again
Plz make a tutorial for III and VC skygfx
I don't know if it is skygfx or some mod to install, but it happens that when I installed skygfx with my configuration, an bug occurred that made the road signs and the routes that always appear when you leave a city, look empty Without the letters, could you help me find out if it is an option in the skygfx ini?
When I put in the game using skygfx silent patch the wet reflections disappear
I had the same problem. I eventually figured out that the widescreen mod I was using from a San Andreas essentials mod pack caused the wet reflections from silentpach to disappear only when using skygfx. I removed that widescreen mod and installed GTA SA Widescreen fix instead and now the wet reflections work with skygfx.
