Mounted the dir where gp2 folder is located. I then move to there and execute gp2.exe.

The result is:

DOSBox switched to max cycles, because of the setting: cycles=auto. If the game runs too fast try a fixed cycles amount in DOSBox's options.

and a black window where I can read

Cpu speed: max 100% cycles

Running dosbox 0.74.2 compiled from the source.

Details would be useful. Is "gp2" Grand Prix II? (Are you expecting people to know this immediately..?)

Please be more precise. Are you saying that you are typing "cd blah" in DOSBox and then "gp2.exe", or something else?

Okay, other obvious questions:

Can you run other games in this version of DOSBox that you've compiled from source?
Have you been able to run GP2 in other versions of DOSBox?

(I might add that the lastest version of DOSBox is numbered 0.74-3, so I'm not sure where 0.74.2 would be from.)

A moment of Googling definitely suggests that people have run Grand Prix 2 in DOSBox in the past.
