ICR2 under OS/2?

:> :>Hi - I Just got Indycar Racing II and was wondering anyone has gotten it :>to work under Warp. :> :> I tried the Add Programss in the system setup (which thought it was :>IndyCar I) and the DOS session opens up, I get the DOS4GW header, and some :>info relating to the sound card, the screen blanks, and I end up back at :>my desktop. Ideas? :> Hello I have ICR2 and it runs fine under OS/2 Warp. The only problem I have is that the joystick is a bit "shakey". I use the joystick driver for OS/2 that you can download from various sites, but it isn't very good. The reason you can't get it too run might be that the memory settings is wrong as it is using the settings for ICR1. You don't need either EMS or XMS memory for newer games, but they need to have the DPMI_DOS_API set to enabled or auto. Be sure that the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT is at least 8MB. You can also replace the path and filename to ICR2 in the settings notebook to * and start it manually by typing the filename from the DOS prompt that will come up when you double click the icon. That way you will be able to read the error message from the game when it ends. Torgeir

DS> Hi - I Just got Indycar Racing II and was wondering anyone has DS> gotten it to work under Warp. No problems whatsoever.....very smooth at a click from the desktop I've just created a program object of the .exe file. Works for me. More details if you need them.....settings etc.....mail me. Cheers! --- * RM 1.3 U0414 * WIN 3.0 : UAE, WIN 3.1 : GPF, OS/2 : WORKS.

-> After posting my message, I started looking some more on the Web and -> I found a site at IBM (dont know the URL offhand, mail me if you want -> it) that had suggested "generic" settings for anygame. I made myself -> a Game Template program template using these settings and used it to -> set up ICR2.. voila! Every now and then, the sound cuts out for a -> fraction of a second, which makes it sound like the engine hiccuped, -> but other than it worked fine. Actually, the "hiccup" in the engine occurs with the DOS version as well.

Might do this with my Game Template to make a general Full Screen session for testing out new games.. :-)

It does? I've never had that happen in a couple thousand laps. It's probably due to the type of sound card you're using. FYI: I have an SB16 basic with waveblaster. -- --------------- Scott Pritchett
