F8 is not the correct speedup key for DosBox.

i know it
i hit F8 when running on windows only
not on DOSBox

For windows, you can try a CPU Killer program (slows down your PC temporarily) to reduce the speed.
For DosBox, try increasing the cycles.

Hello there!

I can't seem to downoad the game from rockstar classics... I download a ZIP file that has 325 MB, and when I try to unzip it, Winzip tells me it's corrupted...

I have already tried several times in few days, but it's always the same. Can someone tell me, what's wrong?

Thanx.

(what a cool smily!)

i have the same problem and i tried to open that file with winzip, winrar but both didn't work. so now i'm downloading it again, hope this time it will work.


i played that game when i even was 12 years old and i loved it, but i always had to use the cheat for unlimeted lifes.
after downloading it the second time it worked, but when i start the first mission the game is jerking. i try to find a patch for xp or something like that but i couldn't find one. does anyone how to fix it?

It worked ok for me maybe try a different resolution.
On a sidenote you can play this online thanks to this program.

Coz the download link is given from Rockstar page i dont belive that Kosta or someother could change it. Anyway its a modern game and should run well without patchs.

Help please.
GTA1 works too slow on my Windows2000 pro. But if I press F8 it works to fast.

(I also used Dosbox and it still works to slow, even if i press CTRL-F12.)
I don't know what to do. :/

Hey all, I have the original PC version of this, but when I run it in Windows, it is unbelievably jerky and unplayable as a result (even turning the frame-limiter on and off with F8 does no good. This is with both the original CD-ROM & the Abandonia download) I've tried the F11 key to change all kinds of resomolutions, but to no avail. Also I can't get it to run properly in DOSbox; even after setting the controls to default keyboard (up, down, left, right etc.) I can't use up or down to select the options, or left or right to select characters, and when (if!) it finally loads it is even slower and jerkier. Any help or ideas? I tried right-clicking the gtawin.exe file to change the compatability properties to say, Win95, but the option doesn't come up (in Windows XP). Is that something wrong with my computer, or what? I just wanna replay this game again!

:wallbash:

What do you mean with the compatibility option not showing up? After right-clicking go to [Properties], then there will be a tab labeled [Compatibility]

Any idea how to speed up the game?
(i have win2000 and it runs too slow, if i press F8 it works too fast)

Anybody?
