HEY HEY!

What settings did you use? Mine lagged as hell, completely unplayable. Latest Dosbox with Game Frontend. I'm not very skilled at technical settings and such nonsense.

Fred the Fop · 19 November 2006, 13:39

Thanks EmuChicken, I love DOS games.

EmuChicken · 19 November 2006, 13:47

when you're ingame- you need to hit CTRL and F11 or F10 to speed up or slow down ticks (in dosbox) ... I find that anything over 4500 ticks gives a nice smooth game

Ive just completed easy mode

StarEye · 19 November 2006, 13:54

Ah, thanks! That worked perfectly. Now, to see if I can get my joypad working with it.

P-J · 19 November 2006, 14:26

Wow, this is way fucking cool. Thanks for the link!

Bloodwych · 19 November 2006, 14:33

Excellent!!

Shame there isn't an A1200 version as it would have run fine in 256 colours.

Definitely

Maybe somebody could could create an Amiga port out of this (if it's at all possible)?

Bloodwych · 19 November 2006, 14:36

Actually, I think that's exactly what jotd is doing:

Now he can rip the graphics!

EmuChicken · 19 November 2006, 14:38

he'd better give me greetz ingame

DamienD · 19 November 2006, 14:41

Hmmm, I think the one jotd's creating is actually a remake of Super Cars I + II

Porting Supercars International to Amiga would rock

Bloodwych · 19 November 2006, 17:50

This game actually works without DOSBOX.

It'll run fine in Windows 95-ME with no tweaking.

Win XP requires you to run the executable in compatibility mode and set a few options to auto for DOS memory.

The game itself is quite good; not sure about the music though. Just love that heavy guitar in the original Amiga SCII.

Are you sure about this? I've tried every permutation (with compatibility mode set to Windows 95) and it just says :

Code:

Copyright 1996 Magnetic Fields (Software Design) Ltd.

Supercars International Startup
Initialising EMS Memory
EMS not available

I'm not convinced

Bloodwych · 19 November 2006, 18:09

Yeah, I've just had it running 15 minutes ago! It was an offline SP1 install and I just slapped it in Win 95 mode, set auto for some of the DOS memory options (like EMS) and it fired up with sound.

Erm, and oh yes! You also need to select 640x480 for the screen mode as well.

EDIT: See below:

StarEye · 19 November 2006, 18:48

Tsk, no need to run it clean. Dosbox with a GUI is tidy and clean. Have all your DOS games on one list, and doubleclick the game you want to play. As easy as using Gamebase.

P-J · 19 November 2006, 18:49

That's weird. It doesn't work for me, even with those exact settings on XP SP2.

Just complains about EMS and dies. Oh well

Maybe it is SP2 that kills it.

Bloodwych · 19 November 2006, 19:23

Hmmm, just tried it on a different SP2 machine and again it works fine with the above settings. For some reason EMS isn't available on your install even though you've selected it???

As Stareye says however, Dosbox is a great and easy to use solution for multiple games. I just thought I'd mention I've got it working without emulation for those who can't be bothered to use it or don't have a powerful PC.

rsn8887 · 19 November 2006, 19:51

Man, where the heck did you dig out this awesome game?
I never knew this even existed for the pc!
It's sooo good.
For some crazy reason it must have sold, like, zero copies!

Yeah, I've mirrored your options exactly but it still doesn't work. I wonder if having 2GB of RAM causes it to go bonkers?

It's good, but native is much better. Lots of people prefer real Amiga to emulation
