The two prior titles by Papyrus (Indianpolis 500 and Indy Car Racing) work fine on DosBox, but Indy Car Racing II doesn't work. Stdout.txt reads:
"Exit to error: IRET to lower privilege"
Is there a setting I can change?
Oh, by the way, it runs under Windows 2000 all by itself, I just don't get any sound that way.
yeh there's the hidden make all errors disappear option
Cute.
I hoped perhaps there was some other known setting for this particular game that I hadn't yet discovered via trial-and-error. Similar to how someone here on the forum helped me get Star Control II working.
I was able to get other Papyrus titles working by disabling XMS/EMS and enabling DPMI. That didn't seem to work with this one.
Tried VDMSound?
Yes, it’s my fault.
I know that VDMSound is a good product, and in fact it worked well for some other games I was playing.
But when I discovered DosBox and got it working for all of the games I was trying to get working at the time, I deinstalled VDMSound because I wanted to use one, and only one, DOS-game-player product. DosBox seemed to do what I needed it to do at the time, and VDMSound was very tricky to configure and I was unable to get it to work with all of the games. Since DosBox is easier to configure and seems to work with more of the games more easily, I'm trying to concentrate my efforts on getting all the games working under DosBox.
However, you're right in that, if I can't get DosBox to run that particular game, then I should reinstall VDMSound and use it with that game. I'm sure that would work.
There isn't, and will probably never be, one perfect cure-all. Use tools as they are available.
Yes, it’s my fault.
Right. The reason I posted here is to simply ask if there was any known solution for this particular thing I was trying to do.
There is.
Use VDMSound. 😁
Yes, it’s my fault.
