GTA2 Radio Modpack: GTA1/GTA3/LCS/CTW

Post by wolfenator »

I imported radio-audio files from various GTA games into GTA2, some were easier to import and some were harder but in the end it was worth it! Each radio station was tailored by me to what I thought was the best fit to maintain the original feel the developers were going for, like electronic music in a Miara. Oh and now you can turn off the radio whenever you want, just scroll through the stations with F1 or F2 until you reach the fifth-blank slot.

GTA1:

Since GTA1 has an insufficient amount of radio stations, I had to keep the 3 unique district stations from GTA2 as well as importing 1 radio station from GTA London. Can you guess which? [krishna]

GTA2 Dreamcast:

For some reason the Dreamcast version has better quality than the PC version.
Note that you cannot turn off the radio here without doing some tweaking.

GTA3:

GTA Liberty City Stories:

LCS is set in 1998 and the radio reflects that era, complete with commercials about preparing for Y2K! :lol:

GTA Chinatown Wars:

Installation:
Simply extract 'gtaudio' folder from the .rar and place it in your GTA2\data folder
(Make sure to backup your original GTA2\data\gtaudio folder before doing anything)

Credit to DustedandBlue & Halley's Comet Software for helping perfect the conversion of the Dreamcast sound files!
I would also like to thank gtamp crew & the modders who are still keeping this gem of a game alive - keep it up \m/

Hi Wolfenator! I'm noticing that there's some serious distortion, popping and hiss in those GTA2 Dreamcast station rips. When I first realised that the Dreamcast versions of the stations sounded "cleaner" (circa 2020), I ripped them myself using a program called VGMStream. I recall having the same issue, so much - much later down the line I eventually reported the anomaly to the developers of the software (circa August 2023) and they fixed it in the very next update! I do suggest re-ripping them using the latest version of VGMStream to remove that frequent popping sound. :-)
