Some time ago I got my hands on Burnout: Championship Drag Racing - Player's Choice Edition. It's a reedition / expansion of the original Burnout: Championship Drag Racing:

Honestly, there's not much to tell about the game other than it is a pain to get it working on DOSBox. The issue is covered elsewhere in VOGONS. Basically the install program fails to create a config file (PCE.CFG) and the game won't start. You can circunvent the problem by creating your own config file (which didn't work for me) or installing it under PCem or similar.

Anyway, my personal issue is with the 3Dfx version of the game (in this specific edition, the original version works fine under DOSBox builds with Glide emulation), which I can't get it to work. I've tried with every DOSBox build I can think of with 3Dfx emulation but the result is always the same, the game plays sound but all I get is a black screen.

Has anyone tried it and get it working?

Hello. Sorry no one got back to you on this.

I play a different version of this game called NIRA intense import drag racing. It's essentially the same game

The only DOSbox that seems to work for me, is DosBox PURE found on itch.io here: https://schelling.itch.io/dosbox-pure

Doing forget that the "[ ]" bracket signs can shrink or expand the screen in combination with SHIFT. Good luck!

DOSBox Pure... I hadn't thought of that. I'll see if it works there. Thanks for the tip!
