Has anybody tried to run Ascaron's Team F1 (aka Pole Position) through DOSBox? I've gotten other games by this German firm to run just fine in DOSBox (Gloriana, for example), but with Team F1 I always get dumped out with the following message:

GO TO: Label Jump1: not found.

I looked in the executable (F1.BAT) and found the following text:

@echo off
hybrid.exe
memchk 7000000
if errorlevel==1 goto jump1:
echo Starting F1
set dos4gvm=@f1.vmc
f.exe /s
set dos4gvm=
goto end:
:jump1
f.exe
:end

So it looks like it's finding an error which tells it to "goto jump1" ... it's just that at that point it can't find what it's looking for. I tried it with sound, which configures quite nicely in DOSBox, both off and on. Ditto for configuring the video card. Everything seems to load and configure nicely, then boom!

Any guidance would be mucly appreciated!

Thanks, Qbix. I had tried that (using the .bat modified as follows):

@echo off
hybrid.exe
memchk 7000000
echo Starting F1
set dos4gvm=@f1.vmc
f.exe /s
set dos4gvm=
goto end:
f.exe
:end

So no "jumping" anywhere 😉

That does help to begin the game, but then I just get dumped to a screen that says:

Master Version 1.0

Country: England

CD

(IRN 62w)

And then it dies. This is the only game I've ever tried with DOSBox that actually makes DOSBox disappear! Like I said, I got Gloriana (a much bigger game than Pole Position, by the same outfit) to run sweetly, can't figure out what's wrong here.
