FAQ

Are AI merge games real or fake?

Many are real. The MW2, Skate 3 and Minecraft mashup, SkyCraft and Mario in Elden Ring all have public code and downloads on GitHub. Some viral clips, including the original Minecraft in Elden Ring video, have never been released. Every entry on this site is labelled Playable, Build it yourself or Video only. See every viral clip checked.

Do I need to own both games?

Almost always, yes. Legitimate mashup mods never include game files. They read the files from your own installed copies, the same way Garry’s Mod needed other Source games back in 2004. Each mashup page lists exactly which games, versions and platforms you need.

Is it safe to download AI game mashups?

Only from the creator’s own repository. Fake look-alike repositories appeared within days of the trend. We link the official page for every project and never re-upload anything. Back up your saves before installing, and never run an unsigned .exe from an account created the same week. How to spot fake downloads.

Can I get banned for playing these mods?

Not if you stay offline. Most mashups only run with anti-cheat switched off, and the creators are explicit that they must never be taken online. Games such as Elden Ring and GTA V can ban accounts that join online play with modified files.

Do AI merge games work on Mac?

Most are Windows only, because the host games are Windows PC games. The Minecraft Crossover Bridge is the exception: it runs Minecraft inside Elden Ring or Monster Hunter World on Apple Silicon Macs through CrossOver. Use the finder and pick Mac.

Can I merge two games myself with AI?

Yes, if you are patient. Tools like Claude Code with the open-source universal-modder toolkit can identify a game’s engine, decompile it and build a mod. You still need to own the games and to judge what feels right. The AI cannot. Read the step-by-step guide.

Are AI game mashups legal?

It is a grey area. Reverse engineering for compatibility is allowed in some places, but distributing a publisher’s files or characters is not, and publishers can demand takedowns. Fans who rebuilt GTA 3 and Vice City were hit with a DMCA takedown in 2021. That is why every project here asks you to bring your own games.

I made a mashup. Can you list it?

Yes. Send us the official repository or video link. We read the README, check what you need to own, and add it with the right status label. We never list projects that bundle game files.Email us

Playable · Engine transplant

PipeLink: San Andreas × Skate 3 × MW2

One launcher that adds Skate 3 skating and Modern Warfare 2 modes to GTA San Andreas.

Official download

★ 4 · updated Oct 3, 2026 · v1.0.2

Links to the creator's own GitHub page, checked Oct 7, 2026. We never host or re-upload files, and no game files are included. Re-uploads and look-alike repos can carry malware.

PipeLink bundles two mashups into San Andreas behind one installer. Press F6 and CJ skates with the Skate 3 engine; press F5 for a Modern Warfare 2 mode with its weapons, scoreboard and killstreaks. It is the easiest way to try the Skate 3 and MW2 rewrites inside GTA.

What the launcher does for you

  • Finds GTA San Andreas through Steam and converts the current Steam version to 1.0 US, which the mods need.
  • Adds an ASI loader if your game doesn’t have one.
  • Downloads the free Skate 3 Rust engine, then builds the skate map and board from your own GTA and Skate 3 files.
  • Installs IW4L, the open MW2 runtime, which reads your MW2 files without changing them.
  • Puts every changed file back when you click Uninstall.

How it works

The skating side is the same engine transplant as Skate 3 in GTA San Andreas: the open-source Skate 3 engine running against San Andreas’ collision. The MW2 side runs on IW4L, the Rust rewrite behind the original MW2 × Skate 3 × Minecraft mashup.

What you need

  • GTA San Andreas. Only the base game is required.
  • Optional: your own Xbox 360 Skate 3 disc image for skating, and your own MW2 Multiplayer folder for MW2 mode.
  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and an internet connection for the first setup (the Steam conversion downloads about 840 MB of patches).

Install in short

Download the release zip, unzip the whole folder, open PipeLinkLauncher.exe, follow its three steps until they show a green tick, then press Install and Play. A controller is recommended for skating.
