Just so we're clear; i am a noob at DOS coding and what not.
I am trying to install 3DFX onto DOSBox so i can run GTA 1 in 3DFX mode, but i've tried every way possible and i always end up failing with the "unable to find DLL" error. No luck trying to find my problem or anything else on google.
I need help installing 3DFX onto DOS, in the most simple and easiest way possible.

Um, this is a DOSBox question and belongs in a different subforum. And you don't have to bump your thread after only five hours 😀
But sorry, I can't help you with your question except to say that real hardware would be better, which is not helpful at all 🤣
Although it would be much more helpful if you posted your system specs, what version of DOSBox you're using, the specific DLL error you're getting, etc. Vague questions like your OP don't attract much help.

Maybe it helps:
With a real Voodoo 1 you install the driver and then copy the Glide2x.ovl
from windows\system\ to the GTA directory 😀
You have to install a glide wrapper (nglide for example).
Remove all glide*.dll files from dosbox directory.
In dosbox there should be a glide2x.ovl und glide2x_emu.ovl
copy one of them to your game directory (depends of what you have set in dosbox.conf emu or not) and maybe rename it to glide2x.ovl.
Except you also need a build of DOSBox with the Glide patch, and at this point we have no idea what Mr. Sodaddict is doing.
oh yes, i forget.. because i only use dosbox version with 3dfx patch.
i would try dosbox daum from 6 may 2013
Where do you get old versions of DOSBox Daum, anyway? There seems to be general consensus that the latest builds are broken (though I'm not exactly clear how or why).
there is a site from daum (found by google where you can download old versions: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/subpages/old.php )
Or you could download my 3Dfx build, it is built using kekkos 3Dfx patch and outputs the image with opengl and doesn't need a wrapper. The link is down in the signature.

ahhh, great. Do you have to ne2000 patch build in too ? or plan to build it in?

No and no. 😀 It's just plain vanilla and vanilla + 3Dfx.
to bad, i am still searching for an all in one dosbox:
- with 3dfx
- with network (for multiplayer games)
- and win9x should run stable (with network, sound and 3dfx)

Then you are best off looking at something else other than DOSBox.
Either we have forgotten about the OP, or he has forgotten about us 🤣

Dosbox and pcem are the only Programms with 3dfx support.
PcEm is a lot slower than Dosbox.
So i hope for a Branch for win9x, 3dfx, and network.

He only did try and he needed another thing. Enough said.
