Nascar won't run (Advance Logic or ExpertColor Confict)

4 posts by 4 people · 29 Jun 1996 - 02 Jul 1996

I have just finished setting up a new P133 system for a client and decided to put on the demo version of Indy 2 but it no go. The sound card is and Advance Logic Pro 16 PnP. Indy auto-detects correctly as a Soundblaster 16 (Set as.... ADDRESS 220 , DMA 5 ,IRQ 1) The sound tests works fine . The games starts and the intro work fine. But once the Main menu loads it won't go any further. Each selection will highlite but when I press Enter the highlite turns white and thats it. The video card is a S3 Expertcolour Trio32/64 PnP PCI. I even load the full version of Nascar but with the same results. All other sims and or games load and work fine, Need for Speed, Doom, Heretic etc. Nigel of Lakewood Racing Lakewood Computers NZ

sounds like a joystick problem to me. I have had this problem when I tried to modify the fire button wiriing on a home made steering wheel. The problem was that one of the buttons that was set to control a gearchange was not wired into the circuit, or wired improperly. his seemed to create a conflict when I tried to make a menu selection. Your game has not crashed, it's just not recieving the neccesary input to move past the menu screen. Check your controller, or disconnect it and try again. Ed Benson

Your system may be different than mine, but I am setup with a SBPro16 on a 486/66 and my settings have always been 220, 7, 1. Or sometimes 220, 7, 3. Hope it helps if you haven't tried these yet. BTW: I think your server did the same thing mine did a few days ago judging from how many copies of your post are here.

I work as a mechanician in a computer store...and most of the errors... that occured as yours is ...was the wrong setting the sound card type as original soundblaster 16 -this will only work with ORIGINAL SOUNDBLASTER 16 ! NOT WITH CLONES! , so YOU must use CLONE-settings OR Soundblaster PRO -setting! That schould do the trick ! bye
