I cannot get passed the incompatible vesa driver error when trying to run the original GTA in 24-bit mode on real hardware with an ATI Rage II+DVD card with Windows 95 or DOS mode. I am so unfamiliar with this vesa stuff and Im not sure what to do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

gta24.exe -nounivbe
or
k.exe -nounivbe

I don't remember exactly

this key works with some graphics cards, also you may need dos32a extender

Tried k.exe -nounivbe and gta24.exe -nounivbe. Unfortunately still getting this error.

Weird, cause in this case my laptop wrote:

No supported SuperVGA chip detected!

and works fine with -nounivbe key

try different GTA version?
