intel haxm acceleration is for intel cpus only
on amd cpus you have to choose whpx (which is slower) from the menu

Whpx doesn't work, says the CPU doesn't support it. The last option works, but it's slow (similar to dosbox).

you have to
enable "Windows Hypervisor Platfrom" from windows components and reboot

Hyper-V's not enabled. I have vmware installed, not sure if that's why it's not working.

It is disabled.

have you just disabled it?
you have to reboot after the change
have you rebooted?

It was already disabled. I disabled it a while back.

It was interfering with some RRedline games.

one more thing to check
this is also some cpu virtualization feature that has to be enabled in bios

then i don't know
make sure neither vmware nor virtualbox, nor rready is running in the bacground

try turning it on, reboot, check what qemu says and turn it off again, reboot and check qemu

Virtualization is already turned on, I turn it on after every bios update and I can definitely run vmware.

I'll try it on a different machine.

Nope, the Intel haxm mode doesn't work on an i7 2600. Microsoft Defender repeatedly scans the app on both machines. There's no way to disable it, it turns back on. That might be why it's not working.

you can install avast and that will disable ms defender i guess

ok big mistake here:

"Windows Hypervisor Platfrom" has to be enabled for whpx to work

"Windows Hypervisor Platfrom" has to be disabled for haxm to work
haxm also needs to be installed first:
https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/tag/v7.8.0

intel cpus work with whpx too (but whpx is slower)

Hello,

I am trying to set my wheel's paddles as the shift up / down keys for IndyCar Racing II. Pressing ctrl + f1, the usual keymapper prompt, just causes the game to freeze. I then have to alt+ctrl+delete to get out of the game.

What is the keyboard shortcut for the keymapper? Or, why does dosbox freeze when I select ctrl+f1?

Thank you.

Setup it before entering to the game.

Ctrl+F1 invokes dosbox settings, since it's not speedy3d mode, it can work in background while you see in game frame.
If you want use ctrl+F1 as in game key? Use different keys for now, maybe it will be fixed to enable those keys too, by having option to disable them for instance dosbox.
If I am not wrong with it.

Thanks @Raven-05.
If you followed @gplaps guide :
1)In the dos tab of rlauncher, click "dosbox settings"
2) dosbox-rendition.conf should open in notepad. At the bottom of this file there should be the line

1 IndyCar.Exe > filename 

Filename is a name of a temporary file.
Add a rem and a space before that line., so it says

1 Rem indycar.Exe>filename

3) Save this file and run dosbox. You should be able to run press [ctrl+F1] when dosbox starts and configure the mapping.

4) Once this is configured, you should be able to click "dosbox settings" and remove the rem, save the file and restart dosbox. Icr2 should autorun again with the mapping enabled.

Alternatively you should be able to [ALT +TAB] to the dosbox console and press [CTRL+F1] while the game is running, map your keys and then [ALT +TAB] back to the game window. This should also work. There are two dosbox console windows, you need to pick the one that says c:\indycar.exe > filename.dmpicr2 has logged its memory usage (in KB) to.

Haxm doesn't work on my Win10/i7 2600 with the windows hypervisor platform disabled.

according to this it should work:

https://github.com/intel/haxm :
"HAXM runs as a kernel-mode driver on the host operating system, and provides a KVM-like interface to user space, thereby enabling applications like QEMU to utilize the hardware virtualization capabilities built into modern Intel CPUs, namely Intel Virtualization Technology."

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/produ … ifications.html :
"Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor"
"Security & Reliability:
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x): Yes
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d): Yes
Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT): Yes"

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/suppo … processors.html :
"make sure it is turned on in bios"
and it is not used by some other software on the machine.

check if it is enabled in task manager -> performance tab -> cpu -> Virtualization

and also try the tool they recommend in previous link:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/suppo … processors.html
"You can use the Intel® Processor Identification Utility to verify if your system is capable of Intel® Virtualization Technology.
Using the tool, Select the CPU Technologies tab. See if the Intel® Virtualization Technology options are checked or not."

I've already checked, it's enabled in the bios and hyper-v should be disabled. But I'll recheck in a bit.
