Hey guys.

I downloaded the old Street Rod 2 game (DOS) and it displays the intro screen fine until you get into the actual game.

I can't show you what it looks like because when I hit 'print screen' and paste the screenshot into paint, it displays correctly :confused:

The game seems to be displaying a vertical column of graphics twice. So u get a column (a character wide), and then to the right of it the same exact column again (only darker) and then it displays the second column to the right of that, and then column 2 again.

So instead of seeing for example <+_+>..

you will see <<++__++>>

I guess the best way I can describe it is that it's kinda like double vision.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

EDIT: It works fine if I run the game in 4 colour mode, but not 16 colours :chairshot

Your video card is not crap enough

Put in an old ati rage and it will fly :lol:

*trys to remember the cheat to get 20000*

in SR1 from memory, you buy a car and make note of how much you bought it for.

Then sell it straight away, putting the original price as a selling price.

When they offer an amount, say no. Sell it for the same again and say no when they offer.

Then sell it for 22111 and they'll take it.

something like that.....

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
