Hi, I'm trying to get GTA 1 work on my android tablet. I know I should edit dosbox.conf file, but I don't know what to configure. 😊

Here are System requirements of GTA 1:
486 DX4/100Mhz CPU
16 MB RAM
1 MB Video RAM

The tablet specs are: (Asus Transformer 1)
1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU
1 GB RAM

Which parameters should I configure and to what value - to make the game run smoothly?

Try Gangstar. It's an Android native clone of GTA.

No, wait! (sorry for interfering 😉)

Regarding your initial question: set memsize=16, core=dynamic and cpu=auto in your DOSBox conf. Don't use cycles=max but try fixed values (12000, 14000, no idea how much your tablet can manage) instead to avoid lags. Maybe you should also consider overclocking, check out Tegrak Overclock in the market.
Good luck!
