Custom tracks in VC Stories work very similar to LCS.

Here we go:



Find your VC Stories save folder on your mem stick. Usually, it is named ULUS10160S92F0.

Now, you're going to create a new folder, and name it ULUS10160CUSTOMTRACKS.


There are two ways to get your music into the proper format(.gta) so you can listen to it in VC Stories.

CD's-
Download R* Custom Tracks(if you don't have it already) at http://www.rockstargames.com/libertycitystories/gta_lcs.html
Install it, and insert the CD with the music you want in VC Stories.

Convert your tracks, save them to the desktop. Insert these new files (.gta files) into the ULUS10160CUSTOMTRACKS folder.

PC Music Files-
Download Exact Audio Copy PSP Edition from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=46HIYRIQ
or here(you have to register first).Install the app, and drag your music files onto the client.

It will convert them to .toc format. Now, make sure Window's allows you to see file extensions. If it doesn't, go to Tools>Folder Options>View Tab> and uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types". Now, click the .toc file that EAC created for you, and change the extension from .toc to .gta. Insert all your converted files into the ULUS10160CUSTOMTRACKS folder.

Either way you choose to do it, your ULUS10160CUSTOMTRACKS folder should look something like this:

Note: Your file icons will vary, most of them will be the default "Windows Unknown File Format" icon.

Now, run VC Stories. When you load your game, pause. Go to audio options, and change the Custom Tracks option from OFF to ON.

Well, that's how you do it folks. Enjoy.

Nice guide, but since a lot of people's folder will be different, it might be a good idea to explain that you take out the S92F0 at the end of it and put it CUSTOMTRACKS. That could loose a lot of people. good job though, it's the exact same as LCS, but hey, I didn't know how.

Nice little guide. I'll have to use this when I get back from class. Thanks.

[topdogkiller]

[GTA3Freak-2001]

thnx bro

Wasn't there a custom tracks program to use mp3's ?

[ScoobyDoo82]

when i put custom tracks on my game the first song will play all the way through but the second song wont start playing. the name of the song will show up on-screen but its just silent, the songs works so i dont know what wrong.

[migokalle]

cool, thanks! but can you use mp3 songs with one of the programs? i mean, so you don't have to buy a cd with the songs? if not, maybe someone should make a ''homebrew'' rockstar custom tracks....(that do not need cd's)

You don't need a CD... With Exact Audio Copy you just drag your MP3s onto the conversion screen, and it converts them..

I can't get EAC to work. I drag my MP3's to the client and it gives me a series of errors then EAC closes. Anyone else experience this problem?

[Kanney]

Its not working for me. I have converted and put them into the right folder, and they come up in Custom Tracks but they are silent then.

in R*CT the PSP to CD icon is still greyed out even though I have my PSP in USB mode and is correctly connected and a CD is in and recognized by R*CT.

ze bump lol soz im just like that i cant fix it

[plunkett]

im so sorry bumping again but PLEASE the EAC has same problem HELP

[plunkett]

ughhh

[XschecterX]

I have a problem with doing this. I upload my songs and when i go to enable them it says its unavailable. And under saved data on my card, it says its corrupt data. I have tried re-installing RCT and it still does not work. Whats the deal?

[plunkett]

at least you can convert and save.. EAC and R*CT dont even recognize that the PSP is plugged in...

[TheDude5000]

The client should recognize your PSP. If not, it's a problem with your PC or PSP, not the client.
