It worked straight away on mine.

The only problem is the unforgiving sides of the course, you just get
slightly off the track and your speeds drops heaps. An it's a little slow
graphically. But other than that, SLS may be onto something here.

I downloaded and couldn't get it to work on my system. I kept getting
an error #7 and something about bank 16. I tried changing the sound
settings to everything the program supports but nothing helped. I've
got a standard SB16 set at 220, IRQ5, and DMA 1. Can anyone help?

You need UniVBE VESA driver, as the readme suggest. I didn't bother
to download the latest v5.2, but used instead v5.0 from Need 4 Speed.
It sort of works, like the textures work only after hitting function
buttons, where the settings can be changed during the game. Otherwise
I'm quite disappointed with this alpha software (this feels so early
stuff I can't call it even beta test version), as there's no feel
of driving, the car stops to a halt if you go too close to the edge
of the road, silly sounds etc. It reminds me of Hard Drivin' on
Amiga almost 10 years ago, which was a very poor port of the original
arcade game. Just nice pictures of real rally cars doesn't make it
worth being called a simulation.
