Hey Everyone. I got the Dos Version Of GTA 1. It's Not Running If I Don't Run It On DosBox! So I Went Ahead And Installed Dosbox 0.75 And Ran GTA 1 From There! But Instead Of Working Fine It Gives Me A CD Warning! And A Message Saying "Grand Theft Auto CD Is Not Present" Pleas Guys Are There Any Solutions?

GTA 1 requires the CD to be present. Use this guide to mount a CD drive:

 

https://www.freezenet.ca/guides/compatibility-and-emulation/how-to-play-a-16-bit-dos-games-that-require-a-cd-rom/

 

Note that you will either need the original CD and a CD or DVD drive or a disc image of the CD on your PC.

Yo! I'm playing on the DosBox version. I installed the Dos version of GTA 1 somewhere. I forgot which site. But it keeps giving me a cd warning!

I had the same problem and solved it.
In order to play GTA in DOSBox, you will need an exact copy (sector-by-sector) image of the orginal disc in bin/cue format.
Then inside Dosbox, you must mount the cd-rom image by typing the following command:
imgmount d c:\path\to\your\gta-image\image.cue -t iso

 

Then it will work.
The default 'mount' of DOSBox won't work (the article what jm-9 is reffering to), you must use the imgmount command.

 

Edit:

Just follow this guide here:

I heard that GTA 1 requires XCOPY? Do i need to download it?

You only need xcopy if you want to install GTA 1 inside DOS, but this way of installation isn't needed.

You can just install the game inside Windows by running autorun.exe on the CD.

(The WIndows installation copies the DOS executables to your hard drive)

 

 

But again, everything is explained here:
