Well, it is SLI, but means something different (Scan Line Interleave) than the nvidia one, with the same initials, however. The monitor needs to be pluged on the same card the pass-through cable is plugged, no matter which one. Both memory upgrade and memory from the nearby 3dfx card will get hotter …

If it was, then it would be called WinBox. XD Say, I think that would be a great idea for a program. I know, there's already WINE, but I was just thinking it would be cool if there was a sort of pseudo-vm like DosBox specifically designed for playing old Windows games. That's a killer idea! A …

Did you mount the CDRom drive with parameter -t cdrom? You'll have to do this even with your real drive.

Hello folks, yet another problem probably due to large amount of video RAM. Motoracer 1 and 2 have parameters to get around this. How can I proceed with Midtown Madness? According to readme it's detecting only 4MB of video RAM.

Yes, I had the same problem. It works fine in Win7 32 bits, but has this problem in XP. I'd stay with version 5.5 on XP OS.

You should be able to explore the installer file and find the game folder inside it. Just drag it to your applications folder and you're ready to go.

Is your desktop normally running at a 16:9 resolution? I found out a while ago that Popcap's games do not scale properly unless the desktop resolution is 4:3 before the game is launched. (It's some really weird, old DirectX thing not supported by nvidia's drivers.) I had already tried that, but …

Ok, I managed to run it under Win7 by removing every resolution from the nvidia .inf file in the driver install folder, however I'd only have the basic 4:3 modes plus the monitor's native resolution. One of the resolution modes is certainly causing this. The game might be trying to switch to it …

Just checked, and yes, I'm having that same problem. I'm using a patch to work under Windows XP because the original game (patched or not) complains that cannot find some stuff on NT kernels. Unfortunately Nvidia's fps limiter didn't fix the problem. I don't seem to be having this with MR1. None of …

not sure it can be fixed (thought it allways existed this is mr1 or mr2 ) tip: The cpu riders race on a perfect Line. So what you have to do to beat them is to find the best Line in the tracks, Drive on the Line with them and use the wheelie to overtake them where you can and then get back on the …

That same parameter also made MotoRacer2 not to crash on startup, however, I see this weird picture and if I click on the bottom line, the game quits.

Since I got my GTX460 I haven't been able to run MotoRacer in D3D mode, probably because it has more memory than my previous GTX260 or Win7 sharing system memory (I had XP before). Is there any possible way to limit video texture memory so it can run in D3D mode?

(as well as the original NFSSE, but unplayable) It's possible some of the other ACT fixes I use on XP will speed up NFSSE in Win7 perhaps. Try disabling sound in NFSSE to see if the lagging goes, then if that's the case look at my thread: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=14778 I was planning …
