dinput8.dll is a component of DirectX 8 that does input (Joystick, etc.). I would think GTA3 comes with some version of DirectX that would be needed to play. I suspect that DirectX 8 would be forwards compatible with the most recent version of DirectX, whatever that is today. You can run dxdiag to get more info on your DirectX setup

You can go to w*w.microsoft.com/directx and download the latest version. I believe the latest version is 9.0c.
