Virtual Grand Prix - Can't get it to run
I have finally got around to trying to play this, and although it installed fine I can't get the game to run.
I get as far as what I think is an animation, although all I can here is sound, and then a mouse press just goes back to the loading screen, but then it just hangs with no hard drive or cd activity. Just for the record my set up is a CD32/SX32. I've tried to reduce the amount of Chip Mem being used by my Workbench but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Any help much appreciated. |

Afraid to say, I haven't got an ISO. I've got the original CD I bought back in 2000, just taken me over 7 years to get around to playing it.

Don't know if I want to do that, while there is still the possibility of Virtual Grand Prix 2 for OS4.

Oops, sorry DamienD, didn't realise that. Though yeah, Ironclaw I reckon you might be right - after all, they also sell those C64 Classix CDs which are just downloaded disk images.

In other words, they probably sell downloaded games, not original, thus not making it illegal for Zetec-s to dump his game and share ... right?

Technically Zetec-s sharing the original is still illegal but surely selling a (what essentially is) a pirate copy of a game is illegal too?
EDIT: That's assuming that is what they're selling. They may well be selling original copies. |

Hmmm, I do actually have an image of this
I could upload it but first you guys need to somehow prove that: 1) the copy that Vesalia Computer is selling is not an original. 2) it cannot be purchased anywhere else. |

Vesalia only sells originals.
Topic: VGP doesn´t work on my 060! I played it on 040 some years ago. @Zetec-s: Do you have a 030? Perhaps this update helps: http://download.abime.net/zone/vgp1%5B1%5D.0d.lha |

Read the hardware specs, Zetec-s. And then forget it.
