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,

Install DirectX9, Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 x86 & Ultimate asi loader.
Download GrinchTrainerSA/VC/III.7z and extract everything in game root directory (NOT MODLOADER). The GrinchTrainer folder & .asi file must be placed in the same place.
Install SilentPatch (For GTA III don't install the ddraw.dll component)
Install D3D8to9 wrapper (For III & VC)
