I want to play gta san andreas, but the only version available at stores is the nasty remake that rockstar did a while ago, there is a way to play pirate games on linux?

    Jc141 1337x

    Jc141 repackage games with scripts and then upload to 1337x a torrent site. I would recommend looking through jc141 github page for further instruction.

    You can also.find links to they’re matrix chat on github or when launching one of they’re uploads.

    Added word of caution, you may want to post this query to the piracy group, feels like 70% of users are on Linux so you’ll get plenty of responses while incurring less down votes (if that’s something you care about) and also not sure of the rules but this post might get removed but again I don’t know.

    I mean you can add non steam games to steam. And you can then run them with compatibility tools such as Proton. Just right click the game and I think in preferences it’ll have an option to force the use of compatibility tools.

    You can run them with wine. It’s easiest to use Lutris or Bottles, but you can set it up manually if you want to.
    Use a separate wine prefix for each game. That way you can’t break one game while setting up another.

    Be sure to do a virus scan before installing the games. Some windows malware can still screw up Linux if run on wine.

    GTA San Andreas isn’t a pirate game. Did you perhaps mean Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, or possibly Monkey Island?

    FYI:

    “Pirate games” means games about pirates.

    “Pirated games” is what you are trying to say.
