## 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](https://web.archive.org/web/20070305050639/http://pdescobar.home.comcast.net:80/gta/saat/SAAT_release_1_10.zip) and extract it.
- Download [SAAF by nick7 build 239](https://gta.nick7.com/programs/saaf/saaf_build_239.zip) and extract it.
- Download [FFMPEG release essentials](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) and extract in your SAAT target directory.
- Download [ffmpeg_convert_gtasa.bat](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheOfficialFloW/gtasa_vita/master/scripts/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.
