By using XP alone, with VDMSound or using DOSBox instead? My findings are as follows:
NASCAR 2 (Papyrus/Sierra) - doesn't do much in XP, DOSBox works but sloooow
Network Q RAC Rally (Pixelcraft/Europress - not the Magnetic Fields game) - runs too fast when you drive into scenery (you can complete a stage in 6 seconds!), in DOSBox won't work
Buck Rogers - Planet of Zoom - too fast in XP, in DOSBox controls don't work (left/right) unless I'm missing something
Frogger (Flopper) - wondering if this can be made to work somehow by faking an A: drive?
Power F1 - can won't move off the line in XP/VDMS, in DOSBox too slow.
Scorcher - very weird judder in the graphics (like a v-sync error)
Screamer, Screamer2, Screamer Rally - crash regularly in-game
Speed Haste - won't go past intro anims in XP/VDMS, won't work in DOSBox
Top Gun - Fire At Will! - no joystick control in XP/VDMS, works in DOSBox but waaaay too slow!
World Rally Fever - demo CAN be made to work in DOSBox and is very playable but full game DEMANDS MSCDEX 2.1 in both XP and DOSBox and won't work (if anyone knows of a hacked version that doesn't check MSCDEX that'd be interesting!)
World Wide Rally - runs way too fast in XP and too slow in DOSBox.
Wipeout - doesn't really work in XP or DOSBox.
Anyone got any advice? If any replies involve DOSBox rather than XP, they should be put in the DOSBox forum and then be linked from here really though...
