Hello there, I recently downloaded GTA1 and am attempting to run it on DOSBox 0.74 but am having an issue where the game loads/starts fine but when I select a character to start with, the game starts loading, goes black, then shows this screen: http://imgur.com/a/s7kxV

Would love some help since everything seems to be working fine up until the actual game itself (not the menu) needs to begin.
My specs per the guideline thread:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor, 3500 Mhz, 3 Core(s), 6 Logical Processor(s)
RAM: 8Gb
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Not too sure about the rest but I can find out if its relevant.

Conversely if anyone knows of a reliable place to download the first GTA1 that would be great. I got mine from bestoldgames.net

Edit: managed to take a quick screenshot of this error message that comes up really quick before it goes to the screen in my first picture but I'm not too sure what it means: http://imgur.com/a/A8str

No abandonware is supported here.

GTA was available on Steam and a modern version was made freeware on Rockstarsite, but I"m afraid that it can't be download anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that message is related to 3dfx mode GTA, use the normal GTA24 executable

edit: missed the first pic, yeah it's asking for a 3dfx card

did you want to run GTA in glide mode?
