Time for a super-bump as I'm looking to finally capture from my Diamond Edge 3D 3240XL NV1 card soon (not the one that needs hands touching it, though I've not tried that approach yet!) I've recently got an AV.io HD to make the captures super crispy. But this also enhances the interference... I've …

Though of course, run Final Racing with a frame rate locked to 30-40fps otherwise the rival cars will race off and you'll never catch them!

Sussed it, without needing DxWnd or anything. I did get the game to run from original CD-ROM, when installed to it's default C:\Racing folder, but I needed to use Win98 or Win95 compatibility (plus dgVoodoo2). However, this flooded every 2D HUD transparent area with black. So I got into Application …

I've got a bit of bother with Final Racing. With dgVoodoo2 I can play the game fine, but not only do the car textures appear as shadows (as per shot above), but the interface (countdown times, top-right speedo, map) all have black behind them, which looks pretty bad. I've seen this game can run fine …

I started with a Videologic Apocalypse 3DX (PowerVR) as I thought Ultim@te Race looked amazing! But the technology was terribly supported and pretty soon my younger brother's 3Dfx Voodoo 1 card was running everything much better! I think we had a Voodoo2 at some point... I owned a Voodoo 5 5500AGP …

Ferrari Virtual Academy 2K10 is now playable again, thanks to a crack to get around the sign in (to a now non-existant server). This was a game made in a pre-Assetto Corsa engine by Kunos Simulazioni and was used for Ferrari promotional competitions. Happy I can play it again, as I paid for it, back …

Thanks, every day is a school day! I tried the "w" version with Dxwnd directing to it, but the game still launches in a window.

I wonder if it's possible to somehow combine Dxwnd with OTVDM, as Tomcat Alley only runs in a window, but not the main window OTVDM spawns, so couldn't use Dxwnd against OTVDM or it'd pick up the pop up console window instead, I suspect.

Despite using git (lightly) at work, I don't know how to save out a build with that merge committed into it. I only just managed to follow the download guide on https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/modern … it/ba-p/1671418 😁

p.s. the sound in S40 Racing I'd really like solved; tried using Creative ALchemy even (as I've got a compatible sound card) but then there's no sound at all! In VMWare Player the sound plays but stutters and the frame rate is pretty awful.
