Updated Fork Yim Menu v9.8 for Legacy GTA V 1.71 – Updated Fork – Full Stability

Since the Money Front DLC update (GTA V v1.71), users utilizing older/cracked builds of GTA V have struggled to find working mod menus. Yim Menu v9.8, as a fork, and update by Mr.X, now provides users a powerful, stable, and offline-safe option for the legacy /ps3 version of the game. If you are using version 1.71 and are looking for a fully functional menu that doesn’t freeze or crash your system, it is worth your time to check this mod out.

Why Should Legacy Players Care About This Fork?

Many mod menus have left behind the legacy builds of GTA V and update to support only the Enhanced or up to date builds. That prevents many users using outdated builds or cracked builds from having reliable tools – so in comes the updated Yim Menu v9.8 to fill in the gaps. This mod is based upon Yimura’s original open-source mod menu, and Mr.X’s interpretation/fork modifies the repository to also support the legacy structure and a DLL injection method while also improving crash handling and memory usage.

Installation Instructions

Download the updated Yim Menu v9.8 zip file from a trusted source

Utilize WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the zip file.

Copy all installed files including YimMenu.dll, into your GTA V root directory where .exe file exists.

Use your injector of choice (e.g., Xenos), and, after the game loads, inject YimMenu.dll into the game.

Once injected, press F8 (or F5 if you re-bound it) and the menu will appear in-game.

Note: This is a version strictly for GTA V v1.71 . Do not attempt to use this in the new Rockstar builds.

Main Features showcased

Teleportation: Teleport anywhere in Los Santos, including any custom location.

Vehicle Spawner: Spawn standard or custom vehicles of your choice.

World Manipulation: Change time of day, weather, and clear traffic or pedestrians.

Stat Editors: Edit player stats (cash, RP, unlocks…, etc), using stable offsets.

Script Loader, Luabased mod support and mission testing (offline only).

Performance and Stability

The stability of this fork is just remarkable. During tests and in the tutorial video, the menu was able to perform multiple tasks – spawn vehicles, teleport, load scripts – without having any frame drop or crashing. It runs really well on any rig with a lower amount of ram or older GPU. This fork is great for budget builds and older laptops.

It is very lightweight to allow no bloated UI or any money hogging animations. Everything is clean, snappy and easy to navigate via keyboard or controller. Even during our high stress tests in the video, we triggered the weather and spawn parts of the scripts one after the other, and Gta v remained responsive during this process.

Script Support

Yim Menu v9.8 provides basic support for offline safe Lua scripts. This will be helpful for anyone who wishes to simply test missions, apply visual effects, or simulate advanced scenarios. You can place your script files into the YimMenu directory or into the /scripts directory (if you configured it), and select the loader tab to run your script/s.

Known Issues

No online usage: Any use of this fork in public lobbies can result in bans. No FSL Support: Since this fork is for legacy, there is no support for modern save wrappers like FSL.

Possible Conflict: Do Not Load Multiple DLLs e.g., Kiddions or ScriptHookV mod, with this mod.

Troubleshooting Steps

Make sure your game version is 1.71, and not any build. This fork will not automatically detect builds.

Disable any antivirus or put an exclusion on the DLL; not all scanners are right; one may have false positives.

Only run one mod menu or DLL at a time; if you run two or more xthe memory will clash.

If the menu does not load, try re-inject after the full game load. (Wait for the loading screen to finish).

Community and Support

Un-officially, this version is supported by the GTA Radars Discord server, which find bug reports, script updates, and troubleshooting guides. Since this is a forked version and is not maintained by the original Yimura repo, bug reports are being tracked by Mr.X or user reports directly in Discord/Telegram groups.

Final Decision

To summarize, for users who are stuck on legacy builds or those using non-official copies of GTA V 1.71, this updated Yim Menu v9.8 is a solid solution, with no crashes. It has everything you would expect from a modern mod menu, without bloating or instability common in weightier tools.

If you need a safer, faster, script friendly menu designed for legacy setups… without any risk to your system or game files, we would make this a good recommendation. Ensure you use responsibly, offline or in solo lobbies, and back up your GTA V folder before installing the menu.
