Nascar 4 Requirements

Here are the requirements Minimum P II 266 64 MB RAM 2X CD ROM Hardware Accelerator Recommended PII 400 128 MB RAM Supports Windows Compatible Joystick Steering Wheel,Pedals A3D Sound

The same as the min requirements for GP3 if I remember correctly. Chris * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

I'm glad they're supporting A3D sound. Very nice when implemented correctly. Here's hoping Aureal makes a comeback...

We had this discussion over on jacobs n3 newsgroup. Isn't it ironic how many things Papyrus supports dies? Rendition... Dead Aureal... Dead TEN... Dead (For all intensive purposes. POGO THIS!) <VBG> I think there were a few other mentioned that I can't remember. It's not looking good for NASCAR ;) ROFLMAO Scott PA-Scott PowerSims.com [email hidden] (Gault) wrote in <8hp0o0$110$[email hidden]>: >I'm glad they're supporting A3D sound.

Well technically, Papyrus supported DOS up to N99 ;) Scott PA-Scott PowerSims.com [email hidden] (Kai Fuller) wrote in <LFW%4.164173$[email hidden]>: >Papyrus supports the Microsoft windows operating system.... > >yet to be seen. :) Maybe Macintosh should be glad papy has seemingly >dropped support for their OS.

Papyrus supports the Microsoft windows operating system.... yet to be seen. :) Maybe Macintosh should be glad papy has seemingly dropped support for their OS. Scott <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

According to someone who was at E3, it will also support EAX Sound ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skotty Flynn "skotty20" Nascar-Racing-Sims.Com: http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com The Ultimate Sim Racing Directory: http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com/directory/ Member of The Sports Gaming Network: http://www.sports-gaming.com On 08 Jun 2000 20:21:07 GMT, [email hidden] (Jjnascar) wrote:

Papyrus worked with Creative Labs back in '94 -'95 to create software for Creative's original 3D Blaster. The card was a 2mb (upgradable to 4mb) vlb graphics accelerator that worked in 486's. One had to run the 3D Blaster Papyrus version of Nascar in order to attain the N2 type graphics. I know because I still use the card! :-)

Hey, come up with your own ideas for making fun at Papy's expense, THIEF Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

What software do you run on your 3D Blaster VLB ? I was one of the suckers that purchased the 3D Blaster VLB when it was released just before Christmas( of '94 I believe ). By the end of January, one month later, Creative had dropped VLB went to PCI and used a different graphic chip in the PCI version. With the new chip all support for the 3D Blaster VLB was yanked, no new software, and no new drivers . The retail box claimed something like, "Pentium 100 performance from your 486, scores of games supported. " . I don't believe that more than ten titles were made for the VLB version . I called Creative some time in Feb of that year to complain about the lack of promised software titles for the very expensive 3D Blaster VLB. They said that advertising on their retail box was no promise of support . I haven't plugged in a Creative product since, and have not missed them . I also have not enjoyed a racing sim since the Indycar 1 and Nascar 1 era yes the NASCAR Racing sim did run nice on my 486 VLB for 10-20 minutes at a time before crashing) . I guess racing sims and hardware have matured quite a bit by now, and I think I'm ready to jump back in( not sure if I've matured ) . GPL interests me and maybe NASCAR 4, but I won't jump this time before I get some sound hardware advice . My computer is a 700 MHz Athlon with 128 MB of pc133 ram . It has an old Turtle Beach Malibu sound card, and an 8 meg ATI card, both were pulled from my last system. Any advice out there on video, sound and wheel upgrade? I prefer to avoid Creative. :-) Thanks to RAS for this place to vent. :-) __ Stephen "Rich" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Don't you have a union meeting to attend or something!?!??! ;) ROFLMAO Scott PA-Scott PowerSims.com

Stephen wrote in message ... >What software do you run on your 3D Blaster VLB ? Stephen, I'm not encouraging anyone to take a step back in time here. Someone asked about Papyrus' other endeavors and I replied. But if you want to talk about the software, I used the software drivers that came with the card. One thing for sure is that I have never experienced the crashing problem you had. I never set the card up as a display driver the way Creative suggested. It was beyond me as to why they would even suggest such a way. I set the drivers up in the sound, video and game controllers area in the device mgr. I was using an Amptron 9700 (PCI, VLB, ISA) board running an AMD 5x86-133MHx pushed to 160. Video was supported by a 4mb pci ATI all-in-wonder with the Blaster. Just for the hell of it I ran the SciTech Display univbe driver with the setup. I could easily attain a full graphics setup with Nascar! In my opinion it still rivals N2 for graphics. Maybe the physics aren't there but the graphics sure are. I do not regret buying this card as it has performed flawlessly in my 486...and still does. In fact, this card is the only reason why I hold onto my 486. It's running at P100 levels. (not bad for 10yr old technology)

One more thing... there ARE new drivers for that card... You'll find them at Creative's website. >Stephen wrote in message ...
