I kinda know, but you know... When it's greyed out, and unclickable it kinda doesn't work.

I would if I could, but I can't. Remember guys, I'm not new to this stuff.

I prefer OpenIv too, but it won't let me edit the resident file.

Locks up during start up.

Well GTA runs fine. Anyway I just extracted the files inside the resident folder, and saved a new copy of resident.rpf on my desktop, edited it there, and threw it back into GTA. Hopefully that'll work.

Alright, I'm no idiot with this, I just can't get it to work. I remember a few years ago I was able to use SparkIV to dump horns.ivuad into the resident file, but it doesn't seem to work now. It either gives me errors saying that the one I'm trying to throw in doesn't match the ones in resident, or it wont let me dump it in period. At one point I extracted the files in resident, put in the new horns, repackaged it, and dumped it into GTA, but GTA wouldn't start after that. Anyone have any ideas?

Look up bare bones kits on Newegg. They've got all the parts you need to get you started, you just have to put them together. Or if you do a little research to find out what parts work together, you can build your own. I have a friend with a $~300 dollar budget, and he's going to get a cheap AMD quad core AM3 socket processor (A decent one) (80-100), a cheap board (70-100), decent ram (50), and a decent video card (100-150). So, if you have 300, you can make it, but barely. 400 it's a lot easier, and 500 is an ideal range.
