Mounting a bin/cue image of Actua Soccer.

Install starts up, I select language, I choose to install game, then it says "divide error" and prompts me to press a key at which point it returns to the main install menu.

Using default conf values with cycles set to 50,000

I wasn't sure if it was the version of dos4gw, so I unpacked my bin, replaced with with a renamed version of dos32a, repacked the bin, and tried again - but got the same error.

Sorry if I sound like Captain Obvious here, but did you try using (a lot) less cycles? Some cdrom games do data transfer speed testing for streaming video, and division by zero is a common issue because cdrom images are so fast, but having a too-fast CPU can be an additive or separate cause. Try with 10,000 cycles, or just the default 3,000 cycles if there's no specific reason to use more when installing.

captain obvious to the rescue 😒

Being that the game was from 97', I never thought to go lower. Thanks for the help. Can't believe I didn't try that... and instead I'm trying to inject dos4g and crap into the image.

Thanks again.
