While trying this oldie, I noticed it runs much smoother using the normal core (25000 cycles in VGA mode, 20000 cycles in SVGA mode) than with the dynamic core (can't get more than 9000 cycles even in VGA mode). Thinking this might have something to do with DOS4GW, I tried replacing it with DOS32/A, but got the message "fatal (3006): exec format not supported in file NASCAR.EXE".

Has anybody managed to get this game running smoothly under the dynamic core or to get it running with DOS32/A? If so, would you mind sending me a copy of your NASCAR.EXE (just that file) for testing?

the game might write in the current codesegment.
The dynamic core "hates" that. (self modifying code). as it has to regenerate the code on each occasion.
I think there might be a warning/logmessage that can be enabled for it. (to see if that is the reason)
