What does this program do?GTA: SA Censor Remover
Feel like you are missing something from your GTA: SA experience? Want to see and take part in the scenes that Rockstar took out of the game?
This program is all you need.
Compatabilty:
What does it do?
This program patches your GTA: San Andreas save to remove the inbuilt GTA censor which allows you to experience the removed 'Hot Coffee' scene when you 'get lucky' with one of your girlfriends.
It can also be used to convert the region of your Xbox save, PS2 owners wishing to do this should follow the guide at www.ps2savetools.com, PC owners have no need to do this.
Disclaimer
GTA: SA Censor Remover alters saves on every version of GTA: San Andreas, it does not add any new content or alter your save in any other way.
Technically this is a modification however no new content is added and no existing content is removed.
Be aware that this program unlocks adult orientated scenes in an adult orientated game and may not be suitable for young children.
(If you are younger than 17 you probably shouldn't be playing GTA: San Andreas)

Warning (read before use!)Warning:
GTA: San Andreas v2.0 is NOT compatible with this program and never will be. Do not use v2.0 saves with this program as you may damage your save.
On the PS2 and Xbox versions there is a small problem which highlights that these game sections are unfinished.
After the interactive coffee scene you reappear stuck in an invisible box and cannot escape, DO NOT jump at this point.
You have two options:
Escape the Box unharmed: (solution provided by Biggie)
Find a vehicle near you (most of the girls have cars) by pressing 'Y' (triangle on the PS2). CJ will start to run, but he wont move. Once you know which car CJ is locking onto, end the running by holding back on the L-stick. Shoot the vehicle until it catches fire then hit 'Y' (triangle on the PS2) to get CJ running at it again. Once the car blows up, CJ is free again.
Please note that you do not need to press towards the vehicle whilst it is burning just face it and press the Y/Triangle button and CJ will run towards it automaticly.
OR
Enter a suicide code:(not recommended, use only as a last resort if the first method is too troublesome)
Xbox:
and for those are interested, here's the PC version too:
PC:
Again, just enter them during playing to activate the effect.
You can remove the censor patch at any time by simply running your save through the program again if you so desire.
This program is designed to be run on saves for GTA:SA games that have NOT had the main SCM files modified etc, usage on such saves is not supported.
If at any time the program reports it's loaded a save for a certain system, informs you that the save is unsupported or damaged and you are sure it's for a different system or is a valid save please send the save to gothi including what version of GTA: SA you have.

Usage for PS2 OwnersRequirements:
You must have a save transferring device that is compatible with PS2 Save Builder (available from www.ps2savetools.com) such as:
You cannot use the 'homebrew' tools such as nPort or execFTPs to transfer your save, this will make the save corrupt, see below for more details.
Unoffical LaunchELF (AKA uLE and uLaunchELF) now has a compatible function to copy saves to non-memorycard devices called mcPaste. Using this function it is possible to transfer the raw GTA: SA save to your PC and drop the file onto GTA: SA Censor Remover, skipping the instructions involving PS2 Save Builder.
Usage:
Transfer your GTA: SA save from your PS2 memorycard to your PC using your selected device (note, users of Unoffical LaunchELF should skip this section).
Now open your GTA San Andreas save using PS2 Save Builder (available from www.ps2savetools.com), right click on the file ending in .b (there may be several, if so repeat on each file you wish to alter the censor level for) and select Extract, finally save them somewhere. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILENAME!
Once you have extracted the files delete them from within the save by right clicking on them and choosing Delete (note: only the files you extracted earlier should be deleted).
Do not close PS2 Save Builder yet.
Now simply drop the files, ONE AT A TIME, onto this program, choose the new censorship status, uncensored obviously, and then simply hit the 'Set status' button.
Repeat for each file you extracted earlier.
Now drag and drop all your changed files onto PS2 Save Builder and they will be added back into the GTA save.
Save in your desired format and transfer back to your PS2.
Please note: this process will alter the timestamp of your save when you transfer it back and this affects the last saved date shown in GTA: SA and cannot be avoided.
IMPORTANT!
PS2 owners cannot use the following devices/software for transferring the GTA saves: nPort, execFTPs, Xport (PS2 disc version 2.22 or below), Sharkport (PS2 disc version 2.22 and below), Action Replay (PS2 disc version 2.34 and below) - DO NOT USE THESE PRODUCTS WITH YOUR SAVE

KAdvanced features for Xbox savesConverting the region of your save
GTA: SA Censor Remover 1.4 added an extra option for Xbox owners, the advanced ability to convert their save to and from PAL/PAL German/NTSC format.
DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
If you are unsure what this feature does please do not use it, changing your save to the wrong region will stop it working with GTA: SA, you can of course change it back to the correct region to make it work again but it's easier to avoid this situation in the first place.
Xbox Action Replay, Xbox Max Drive and Mega X-Key saves:
Drag and drop your save onto GTA: SA Censor Remover (or locate your save using the File/Open menu command), a new menu item should appear labled Save Region.
Simply choose the region (PAL/PAL German or NTSC) that you wish your save to become, the program controls will be temporarily disabled whilst the conversion takes place but it shouldn't take more than a few seconds.
Your save is now ready to be used on the appropriate version of the game, you do not need to set the Censor Status but you may do if you wish :)
Working with the GTA_SA.xsv file
This is the file found within the GTA: SA save, if you have an Xbox AR, Xbox Max Drive or Mega X-Key you should use the above method.
Drag and drop your GTA_SA.xsv file onto GTA: SA Censor Remover (or locate it using the File/Open menu command), a new menu item should appear labled Save Region.
Simply choose the region (PAL/PAL German or NTSC) that you wish your save to become, you must now place the GTA_SA.xsv file in the correct directory in the UDATA section of the save or on your Xbox.
NTSC saves are in 54540082
PAL saves are in 54540086
German PAL saves are in 54540095
