I wish there was a way to get a proper dos setup on a modern computer so you could run old games without dicking around. Especially just using a dos menu program. I think the one I used to use as a kid was quick menu. I still have some of my old games from when I was a kid. Some dos based, some early Windows based. I have need for speed 2, 3 and 4 all on cd, and x-wing.

I downloaded the demo and the driving physics are definitely different to GT5. Using the R35, turn in is much sharper and you have more of an idea of how far you can push the grip you have. Graphics are a little sharper but the main thing was the clarity of distance. Sound is only slightly improved.

Check out Dosbox, or if you're lazy you can get X-Wing from gog.com.

Fairly sure the older NFS games can be made to work with Windows 7, as I got my original copy of NFS:SE to work after some fiddling.

I've used dosbox in the past.

I know that NFS 3 works in Windows xp. I had it on my work computer for a while. Was pretty heavy on resources though.

Jap Devs are failing big time with new gen consoles. First it was the legendary Winning Eleven aka PES to be overtaken by FIFA now FORZA has overtaken GT. GT5 was absolutely shit! I returned the game back within 30mins of purchasing it. Lets hope GT6 is alot better. I wish we had Forza on PC !

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
