Press Left Ctrl + M to open the menu. Doesn't work in multiplayer

Introduction

A mod menu for Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City & San Andreas which allows a large set of modifications/cheats to be applied enabling a much more easier & amusing gameplay. This is NOT intended for use in multiplayer, I won't be responsible for any form of bans. Use it at your own risk!

Get stable binaries from here. Beta binaries are available at the discord server.

Installation

Only these versions of the game is supported. I highly recommand installing the menu on a fresh, non-modded game first.

• GTA SA v1.0 US Hoodlum
• GTA VC v1.0 EN
• GTA III v1.0 EN

If you have those mentioned versions installed follow the steps below,

1. Install DirectX9, Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 x86 & Ultimate asi loader (Necessary).
2. Download CheatMenuSA/VC/III.7z and extract everything in game root directory. The CheatMenu folder & .asi file must be placed in the same place.
3. Install SilentPatch (For GTA III don't install the ddraw.dll component)

For III & VC

3. Install D3D8to9 wrapper. Sometimes the asi loader blocks d3d8.dll file. Just delete the Globals.ini file and you should be good to go.

Incompatible Mods

GTA SA

1. ENB/ SA_DirectX 2.0 FIX: Disable Effect/ Enable water
2. MSI Afterburner FIX: Enable Stealth mode in rivatuner
3. GTA Underground

GTA III

1. SilentPatch ddraw.dll component. FIX: Delete ddraw.dll file for now

Let me know if you mind more.

Things to do on crash

1. Delete the CheatMenuXX.toml config file and try again.
2. If it's happening after installing a recent mod try removing it.
3. Try on a fresh installation of the game.
4. If still doesn't fix your issue, go ahead and report it.
