I have read somewhere ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?letter=G ) that Grand Prix 2 was 100% supported with DOSBOX but IT IS NOT TRUE !! I wanted to install it but DOSBOX doesn't "want". I launch the install programm, I select the language then DOSBOX becomes all black

Can anyone help me ?

Seems there's a difference between reading and understanding. Well, if you only mount a d:\ drive, where do you want to install the game to? A little hint: have you ever seen a PC without a c:\ drive?

Then you probably have a p III or similar processor. It might be too slow to play gp2, as gp2 originally needed a pentium to run at reasonable speed.

Me, I have a Pentium Mobile 1,6 GHz (Centrino). The speed is ok and I can play gp2 in svga and with all graphical details.

For me, though, setting cycles=max is not the best solution for this game. Somehow the cycle guessing does not work 100% for this game. It's better if you set the cycles to 65000 or similar, core=dynamic and then AFTER STARTING THE GAME manually set the cycles up to ca. 85000 (for my machine).
