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

damn ill have to try it with dosbox. do u get normal sound with it as well

or its video and environment emulation only? i tried long time ago with vdms and found it to never work. i found stacks of games never to work with vdms. ill have a crack with dosbox

thanks for letting us know it works

oh btw whats the furthest youve got into this game? the cloest ive come to clocking it racing the king in mullholland and he has ford shelby gt500 with the supercharger and u cant actually but that part for the ford. anyway its like impossible to beat him at mullholland

yeah...

i remember playing street rod one at my grandparents place

on their 286 fully sic fuily fast top of the range computer

with 500mb hard drive and 2mb video card 100mhz processor

(or somting like that anyway)

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.....

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
