Hai! I just started using PSXjin and I have a problem. PSXjin does not want to load GTA 3 because of DirectX and I don't know why that happens. I tried to install DirectX 9.29, but it didn't help. http://puu.sh/51NMq.jpg What do I have to do? I'm confused. D: Google does not want to help me, so I'm asking here. Hope someone can help me. And sorry for any grammatical errors, english is not my native tongue.

Would the problem be that you're trying to run a Playstation 2 game on a Playstation 1 emulator? I'm not really familiar with the series, but from what I can tell Grand Theft Auto 3 was released on the Playstation 2 and not the Playstation 1.
My user name is rather long, feel free to call me by htwt or tape.

As htwt pointed out, PSXjin only runs PS1 games and not PS2 games (like GTA3 is), but it's not the reason behind the error message. The GPU plugin fails to load DirectX. I have no idea what DX version 9.29 is supposed to be, never heard of it. But this is the last DirectX 9.0c version, from June 2010 (9.0c is the last version bump MS did): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
