Nascar99 with PCI Soundcard/Gameport

Hi, Seeing that Nascar2 would never work with my Diamond Monster PCI Soundcard AND Gameport I sincerely HOPE that Sierra fixes this in Nascar99. It's a shame not being able to play that game anymore without sound and steering wheels. SIERRA - HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING!!!! :)

Just to be clear it's not Nascar2's fault, as it's a limitation of the MonsterSound's gameport only working for true Windows native apps (it does has very basic SB emulation for DOS-box apps so you could get sound to work). That said, NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition will have Windows native EXE's which work flawlessly with the MonsterSound. - Eric

I had the same problem with sound and the wheel. I was able to get both to work. There is tech info on Sierra's web site for the sound problem. At a DOS prompt, type set and check to see what the settings are for the Blaster environment variable. Go into sound setup and manually configure the settings. This fixed the sound problem. Next, if your wheel is a Thrustmaster, you may have to d'l Pro Panel and configure your card under Windows 95/98.

Yes! YEs! YES! I'm having Diamond MonsterSound too, and passying lonly days without NASCAR Racing2. I was wondering is NASCAR99 including windows native version like ICR2 for win. I can wait NASCAR3(2000?) with NASCAR99! =) Y.Minami
