GTA: LCS .IMG Extractor allows you to change in-game images - Image 1Out of Liberty City nowhere, homebrew coder Dustcrazy suddenly released pet application GTA: LCS .IMG Extractor Beat v1.0.1. Need we say more? But just in case some people are quite new to this, let's continue.

In a nutshell, Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories has a main location where all .IMG files are stored. This tool allows users to extract and replace the textures and the models found in that location. All you need are a PlayStation Portable (PSP) or a PlayStation 2 (PS2) image file and Visual Basic 6 Runtimes.

Also, please be sure to have 40 MB Free RAM, or the size of the IMG. Please take note that having memory twice larger than what's required will definitely increase the speed of the process. The current version of GTA: LCS .IMG Extractor Beta takes a good amount of time to finish the build. This is due to the slower reading and writing speed of Windows file as oppose to the Windows API version.

Anyway, after securing all the needed things, installing the program and running it are pretty easy. But you still need to access the ReadMe just to be sure you're doing the correct procedure.

Lastly, Dustcrazy mentioned that this has only been tested with the main PSP/PS2 image files. It currently does not read a DIR type file. He plans though to release an updated version soon, with tons of improvements of course, as well as the program's source code.

Only one problem

Just one problem with this program: VERY, VERY slow. It's about as fast as my dial up internet connection was at downloading stuff (about 5kb per second)
