I tested the demo 3 weeks ago - works fine. I had to set CPU cycles to 6000 to avoid stuttering sound, but that was it.

@   echo off

mkdir C-drive
mkdir capture

set DOSBOX_CPU_core=dynamic
set DOSBOX_CPU_cycles=40000

rem Unzip the demo into directory "Unpacked".

"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z" x -y -oUnpacked indycar2.zip

rem Install in C:\ICR2.

"%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox-0.70\DOSBox" -c "mount C C-drive" -c "mount U Unpacked" -c "C:" -c "U:\ICR2demo" -c "exit"

Configure sound for SoundBlaster-16.

set DOSBOX_SBlaster_SBtype=sb16
set DOSBOX_GUS_GUS=false

rem "%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox-0.70\DOSBox" -c "mount C C-drive" -c "C:\ICR2\setup" -c "exit"

rem Run the demo. Has to lower the CPU cycles or sound will stutter.

set DOSBOX_CPU_cycles=6000
set DOSBOX_RENDER_SCALER=normal3x

"%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox-0.70\DOSBox" -c "mount C C-drive" -c "C:\ICR2\IndyCar" -c "exit"

Demo works fine for me also and I didn't have to adjust anything.

I have that problem fixed from the setup, uninstall vesa driver, the game will works but in VGA only. In dosbox 0.63 works fine the SVGA but is really low.

I've played the game in both VGA and SVGA modes with v0.70. It works great, provided you do as advised and uninstall the UNIVBE driver from the setup program.

Great! I've only uninstalled univbe from setup.exe and now "indycar -h" runs perfectly with the best graphic detail 😀

Unfortunately i've not an analogic joystic but I think it is the best racing simulation of DOS 😀

thanx all 😀

That's only because you haven't played "Rally Championship" and "Nascar Racing 2" enough. 😁

So all I have to do is add the command -h. I will try it later. Thanks for that.

I snagged a copy *used but legal* at a Goodwill, I haven't gotten it fully up and running yet, but I did get to try it out a little bit. It was fun.

😁

Need for Speed is also fun.

When I try to uninstall the UniVBE driver. I get

"Unable to Uninstall UniVBE driver"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well after looking through the files, I found a file called UniVBE.drv, I deleted it and the game worked.

Then you probably didn't have it installed in the first place. Does the game still show a black screen?
