Hi, I'm a newbie to Dosbox so I was wondeering if you guys could give me a step-by-step guide on how to use Dosbox with Grand prix 2. I'm using windows vista if that helps 😀.

Cheers.

tried it in DosBox but under WinXP, no problems anyway

as for Vista, using plain DosBox 0.72 (as opposed to the latest cvs)

I guess you're better off mounting the cdrom drive using the -noioctl switch (after -t cdrom)

iirc sound setup aside, you'll still need to set that FILES=40 figure that Gp2 requires, and setup issues a warning about, correct ?,
to set presumably in dosbox config file | [autoexec] section
(surely NOT in autoexec.nt or so 😉)

do you confirm?

get back and report any trouble you should have

btw I never tested (in DosBox) one of those great Gp2 editors, like Steve Young's,
you know not to run the 1994 championship & tracks forever

will they work ?

Does anyone else have the problem that gp2 works using the default dos4gw dosextender but constantly exits to the command prompt with a "divide by zero" message when you try to run it using dos32a? Is this a dos32a bug or a dosbox bug?

... no difference between the official dosbox 0.72 and the latest cvs.
