README quick start
GTA: Liberty City Stories — PortMaster
An unofficial, community-tested PortMaster compatibility port of the Android release of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for AArch64 handhelds.
The port includes the compatibility runtime and installer only. You must supply files from your own legally purchased Android copy.
What works
- Interactive gameplay with sound effects and radio
- Autosave and manual saves across restarts
- PlayStation-position face-button layout
- Tested first mission with smooth performance
- Automatic extraction of user-supplied Android game files
Install
- Download
gtalcs.zipfrom the latest release. - Install the ZIP through PortMaster.
- Copy these files from your legitimate Android 2.4.379 ARM64 installation
into
roms/ports/gtalcs/gamedata/:base.apksplit_config.arm64_v8a.apksplit_data_main.apk
- Launch the game. The first start verifies and extracts the required data.
A complete APKS, APKM or XAPK bundle containing those splits is also accepted. Source archives are retained.
Optional desktop extractor
If the APK files are already on your computer, you can prepare the SD card before launching:
./extract_lcs.sh /path/to/apk-files \
/path/to/SD/roms/ports/gtalcs/gamefiles
Secondary audio from a rooted phone
LCS stores its secondary audio/radio pack (data_music.wad) in protected app
storage. Run this on a computer with Android platform tools installed and the
rooted phone connected:
LCS_CONFIRM_OWNERSHIP=yes \
./extract_music_from_rooted_android.sh \
/path/to/SD/roms/ports/gtalcs/gamedata
Launch the port again after extraction. Never upload or redistribute
data_music.wad.
Requirements
- AArch64 PortMaster handheld
- Legally purchased GTA:LCS Android 2.4.379 ARM64 installation
- Approximately 1.7 GB free for extracted game data, plus the source APK files
