How to get it to play now though...? Well, I've used the wonderful DOSBox before for playing Doom 2 and Commander Keen and the like. This software runs in Windows (XP for example) and emulates a DOS environment with an old SoundBlaster 16 soundcard. Would it work with TNFS (The Need for Speed)?
After a lot of trial and error I finally got it working after getting a tip from a forum on a site called "alldeaf" (www.alldeaf.com). I hadn't mounted the CDROM drive properly. Here's what you need to do:
- Create a folder/directory on root of your C: drive called "tnfs" (i.e. c:\tnfs)
- Run DOSBox
- Type "mount c c:\tnfs"
- Type "mount d d:\ -t cdrom"
- Type d:
- Type "install"
- Follow the on-screen instructions

Hello Steve,
funny that I did the same just now! My friends and me spend hours and hours with racing, telling each other the new minimum time.
Did you get the videosequences running? If so, I would be very interested for a "howto". For me its not visible, just jammed pixel with sound.
Thank you!

Thanks for that, i still have a bit to learn about using dosbox, now there's a little bit less i need to learn.
Cheers.

When I try to do this it says the following: "getvesainfo - IVALID VESA INFO. VESA driver is installed?" Any ideas?
