QUOTE I've used your SA Version Checker and it says that my gta_sa.exe is unknown. Have you used any patches? Could you send me a copy of your executable through PM.

Oh, I just noticed something. Firstly, my gta_sa.exe is "modified". I've used Alexander's vehicle audio aditor tool to change some vehicle sounds, etc. Yet, I had made a backup of my original gta_sa.exe which then I checked with the SA Version Checker and it said Version 1.0 US HOODLUM. As conclusion, I'm mostly sure that the cause the SA Version Checker at first didn't successfully checked my version was because I've changed some sounds within the executable, and so, basically, I own a modified Version 1.0 US HOODLUM gta_sa.exe.

@ above: Same here. I think I have the HOODLUM exe. It's a US v1.0 install, the disc on my dusty shelf getting...dusty.

My hash - 4c6fa3b270e7028b31381761d08656d9

I have the FPS hardmodded. Not too many of these though, so I doubt it matters. Just wanted to see how it works.

Can we include this with SAS4? Might cut back on the "WHY WONT IT WORK" messages.

Go ahead , Just scan the MD5 when first injected into memory (maybe ), or just before you hook into SA

Hey sacky, great tool, it works for meh. I'm using a US hoodlum 1.0 But I edited the exe with Alexander's menu editor to add more languages and it now shows a unknown exe, what should I do? send exe via PM?

The reason why it does this is the following:

MD5 is (like CRC32 or such things) a checksum-algorhytm. So this means it is an mathematical polynom which is used to compare files or other types of data (Strings,...). If you change an single bit the whole polynom will change and this gives another hash. So if you patched your EXE with Alexander's menu your exe is not exactly the same as the US 1.0 hoodlum. The polynom changes cause there are some bits diffrent and that's what gives another hash.

So Sacky's tool just calculate these hashes and compares them to these people post here. If it found something it will show you to which EXE Version the hash belongs.

Pretty simple I think ^^

So I don't think that you need to send the exe through PM to Sacky

Yeah, I know what it does, i readed the whole topic. Just if he wanted my exe so it can be added to the list or something

[Sacky]

Thanks Jost_Vice but that hash should be fine, I'll add it now

If you use one tool - use it up to the end... If you use tools Sacky - use only them...

Hi all! My number is: 99166d25f941355a866b14d427c927d1 (1.0us gta version) Sacky, can you help me with this unknown version?? I've noted that with gta_sa.exe version, run correctly the Alexander's tools (Vehicle add and up&down light). Unfortunately doesn't work correctly the SA limit adjuster. If i use the gta_sa.exe 1.0 EU run the Limit Adjuster, bat not the alexander's tool. Thanks.

Hi sacky!

sorry for the delay
Now i've a 1.0 Us HOODLUM version and i haven't any problem.

(i've forgot that my old version 99166d25f941355a866b14d427c927d1 was modified by patch)

TNX!

But What Is This Even For? JUST compatibility? Is this for developing some kind
of app that will bridge the gaps in versions?

I'm not sure if you've noticed the amount of version issues that stem from tools that alter memory addresses, but its a lot. I made this so when people reported an error on my SA Limit Adjuster topic I would know that they had the right EXE, and prevent stupid bugs from being reported.

[mehmetali]

anybody has that tool.pls upload it.

[TiaS]

Can you re-upload please ? . . .

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Dude, you bumped a 2 year old topic, for a download link.
Also now i have something useful to add, Sacky you should add support for:

- Version 1.01 EU
- Version 2.0 EU
- Version 3.0 US

[Deji]

You don't have to use this tool to check the MD5 hash...

MD5-Summer

Here is the topic on my forum for matching .exe versions. It contains sizes and sums and is being worked on so that hopefully we can list the most common .exe's that someone might have.

At the time of writing, here is what that list contains:

1.0 US Hoodlum - 14,383,616 bytes
170b3a9108687b26da2d8901c6948a18
4c6fa3b270e7028b31381761d08656d9

1.0 US Hoodlum (no intro patch installed) - 14,383,616 bytes
c8a31567f7279889cff09e49f3b8ce7a

1.0 EU - 14,386,176 bytes
6c6160da9b175b66cf9127c86be57bf7
49dd417760484a18017805df46b308b8

1.1 US - (?)5,189,632 bytes(?)
667f799c4ba8c9e1054fccaea6d4259b


These are just some that I've managed to get. Other people will need to post theirs in order to make any confirmations.

i cant download

link broken

[Toschu808]

Pls: Please put in a new >Download-Link<. Or is there another solution as SA Version checker?

I learn to mod on this old game (GTA SA) right now and need to know which version of SA I use.

I know the treat is old but newbies don't care how old the infos are! Thanx 4 reading
