Hi all,
I've recently got a joystick and I've been playing a number of great old games (Star Wars Rebel Assault 2, Descent 2). Unfortunately I can't get Star Wars Racer working whatsoever. I've got the original DVDs, though I've also tried downloading the ISO from abandonware websites.
I've tried:
- Running in Windows 8.1 with all the recommended compatibility settings/exe patches: when I did get it running it was so buggy/graphic glitchy that it wasn't worth playing
- Running in Boxer (doesn't work as it's Win95 rather than DOS)
- Created a Win95 Virtual Machine and ran it there -- sadly due to Parallels graphics card it wouldn't work
- Downloaded the Mac OS9 version of it, and ran in Sheepshaver ... absolutely no luck
GOG.com don't have a copy and neither does anybody else (from what I can see). I'm not opposed to paying for a copy, as long as it works on OS X then that's fine - I'll even take a working version for 64-bit Win 8.1.
Could anybody provide any advice or possibly link me to a working copy for purchase? There is a strong community for getting this game working but an in-depth search would suggest I'm not alone in struggling to get this game working on newer hardware
Thank you for any help you can offer!
