Hiya all...

I just downloaded Nitro Racers, and I really cant seem to get it started... It gives me a black screen, and then exits to desktop... When I try to open it in Dos Prompt it gives me a Dos/4gw error (2001)... And a lot of byte errors...

This is in Command prompt...

Quote from another forum:

"In DOSBox it writes a shitload of stuff to ROM before dying, going by the console window, and Windows XP pops up with an NTVDM CPU error message. I'm out of ideas.

The actual DOSBox error is a bit peculiar, though I've not really encountered many problems with it before - it flashes up a few random ASCII characters with seemingly randomised colours (both foreground and background) and then DOSBox hangs, leaving them on the screen. This is before fading to black, or to a game screen: it does this after finding my sound card while it's still showing the DOS Prompt."

Please write if you need more details or got some suggestions... 😀

I tried the game and it works fine in both the cvs and 0.63
my guess is that that copy of yours is messed up.
(and no I will not tell you where to get a different copy)
