1. I tried installing GTA and London 1969 from the original CD's in DOSbox-0.74 but the installation doesn't work (neither one) even though:

Maybe there's some specific settings needed...
Anyway, I just manually copied the necessary files from the CD's and both games can be played.


2. Every time a cutscene is played the game slows down to almost a halt. I noticed that a cutscene makes hundreds of *.tga files in GTADOS folder. After a few cutscenes I could have ~1 gig of those files on my HDD (BTW, the files are named DUMP*.tga, where * is an increasing number).

I opened one of these dump-files in GIMP, the files are pictures of the cutscenes. It's like the game takes a screenshot of every single frame of a cutscene and that causes the slowdown of the game.

The cutscene problem is only present with the high color version of the game. Everything works fine with the low color version but I rather play with the better graphics.


Any ideas how to fix the cutscenes? Could this be caused by the copy-paste installation and if so, how to install the game properly?

Also, I know Rockstar is offering the game for free on their website. Does that version work in Windows 7 and/or DOSBox and does it have the CD-audio tracks (or can it play the tracks from the original CD(s))?

I'd rather use my original CDs.
