Before you start

Requirements

  • GTA San Andreas PC, version 1.0 US. Steam and Rockstar Launcher copies need a downgrade to 1.0 first. The Definitive Edition isn't supported.
  • Windows 11. K-YOU was developed and tested on it. Windows 10 should work but hasn't been tested yet.
  • A music player. Spotify is best; YouTube Music, a browser tab or any player in Windows' media controls also works.

K-YOU is in beta. It runs well on the setup it was built on, and other setups are still being tested. Found a problem? Tell us

  • Find your game folder: the one that has gta_sa.exe in it. Every step below happens there.
  • Back it up. Copy the whole folder somewhere safe. If anything goes wrong, you put it back.
Already run mods with CLEO, Mod Loader or SilentPatch? You already have an ASI loader. Skip step 1.

ASI loader

Lets the game load plugins. MoonLoader is one.

Skip if you already run CLEO, Mod Loader or SilentPatch.
  1. 1Open the Ultimate ASI Loader releases page (by ThirteenAG).
  2. 2The latest release lists many files. You need exactly one: vorbisFile.dll in the Win32 column. Ignore all the others, they're for other games.
  3. 3In your game folder, rename the existing vorbisFile.dll to vorbisHooked.dll. That keeps the original as a backup, and the new loader calls it.
  4. 4Put the downloaded vorbisFile.dll in the same folder.
The release page: vorbisFile.dll, Win32 column

MoonLoader

The script engine K-YOU runs on.

  1. 1Download the MoonLoader zip straight from the official site: blast.hk/moonloader/download.php?archive. The link starts the download at once, so you don't have to find your way around their Russian page.
  2. 2Extract everything in the zip into your game folder.
  3. 3If Windows asks to overwrite bass.dll and you already have one, answer No. CLEO ships a newer version.
Get the zip archive, not the setup installer. K-YOU was tested with MoonLoader v.026.5.
Open the downloaded zip, select everything in it (Ctrl+A) and copy it into the game folder

DirectX 9

MoonLoader needs one old DirectX file, d3dx9_43.dll.

Most PCs already have it. Try the game first and come back here only if K-YOU doesn't show up.
  1. 1Download Microsoft's DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer and run it.
  2. 2One screen offers to also install the Bing Bar. Untick that box. It isn't needed.
  3. 3Finish the installer. No restart needed.

K-YOU

The mod itself: one small text file.

  1. 1Open the K-YOU zip you downloaded.
  2. 2Copy the moonloader folder from it into your game folder. If Windows asks to merge folders, answer Yes.
moonloader\k-you.lua in place

Check your folder

Your game folder should now contain these, along with everything that was already there:
