What have these 4 racing games got in common? They all try to connect to an online server which no longer exists, preventing the game from working. I know there was progress with Motor City Online and Need For Speed World, to enable them to still be playable (to a degree) even though the servers are …

Actually I just heard from him, the wrapper isn't dead but it's stressful to work on it, hopefully there may be news in the coming months, but no firm release date.

I was keeping in touch with Tuxality but I'm not sure what's happened to him. As I own a copy of the rare Moon Racer PowerVR game I was hoping it might be playable one day, but he's not been on VOGONS since July :-/ I know he'd had a few issues in various parts of the world where he was staying, …

On my old XP machine I had to run DXDiag in the background to prevent the framerate doing that. On my current Win10 PC it seems fine (though not tested it for a while). Unofficial Direct3D patch is here: Re: Sega Rally Championship Unofficial Direct3D patch & mod

Try dgVoodoo2 with graphics card set to ATI 8500. Also, launch the game with commandline -SCREENMODE to get a resolution selection option! There's more command line things here: http://uk.ign.com/wikis/pc-cheats/Incoming_Cheats More tips: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Incoming

The PC versions will look better; with dgVoodoo2 or nGlide you can ramp them up the high definition, plus there's better things like perspective corrected textures, which the PS1 doesn't do. The PS1 version has better music though.

Much like F1 97, it just started working! However Nvidia's video capture won't work with it (maybe the key press isn't recognised) so I had to use Xbox/Windows Gaming video capture instead.

lol I realised I tried converting videos to Indeo 3.2 in the past, but the actual fix (to get Indeo 5 videos working) is just to register the dll in Administrator mode, see here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52675 Secondly, confirmation you need the no-CD exe, it's a bug with mcicda. …

Right, when I looked at it there's a confusing selection of things I had running, but I can boil it down to this: 1. First black screen is likely to be the video intro; these were coded in an old Indeo codec and don't show, hit escape to skip it. 2. New exe file, I think this must be the game copy …

I'll have a look later, I think it works for me, but it might need some workarounds and/or dgVoodoo2.

I'm still suffering with this bug on the Glide version. If I have any sound sub system enabled it'll freeze at the same START point, I have to disable all in Windows to get it to go into the game. I've tried every setting the Sound Blaster ZXr has, to no avail. I even plugged in external Corsair …

As I said on Zeus forum: The solution for me, it turns out, is quite simple: use nGlide and set refresh rate in nGlide configurator to 85hz. It's still a little slow, I think it'd prefer 90hz, but my screen only does 85hz then 100hz (too fast). nGlide also looks better than dgVoodoo2 (which has lots …
