Road and Track Presents: The Need for Speed (no sound)

[altiereslima]

"Road and Track Presents: The Need for Speed" does not recognize any sound card

Looks like it is one of those picky games that has no sound setup and it needs to be launched with the parameter "SB".

I got the sound working in libretro by changing the SB IRQ to 5 with "SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T6" before launching "tnfs SB".

In Dosbox ECE the sound works with the default IRQ 7 though.. weird.

should be fixed in the SVN core.

Cool, thanks for pointing out there is another dosbox core. But alas, it crashes immediately and gives nothing helpful in the log.. Updating retroarch.exe to the latest nightly didn't help.

weird... it's working fine here

A220 I5 D1 H5 T6 don't work. SVN work, but after a few seconds the game gets unplayable

I got the SVN version to not crash with a clean default retroarch.cfg and using load core & start core, but using command line loading a conf-file it still crashes.. The conf only includes [autoexec] section, but even an empty file crashes.

I can't fix what I can't reproduce sadly. I just load nfs.exe directly (I mount the disk using the disk control interface)

I found the reason for the core start crash, it was the midi_driver, which I had set to "null". The default "winmm" works.

But I haven't found the reason why command line start crashes and says "[INFO] Content loading skipped. Implementation will load it on its own.". No matter if I load a conf or exe or nothing at all, probably ought to create a new issue?

[andres-asm]

I noticed the SVN core doesn't start on command-line either too. I really have no idea on what's that about, I just lauch from RA.

I don't know how it compares to the libretro core, but I had problems with TNFS sound on standalone DOSBox. Turned out to be a problem with the game's installer, which didn't properly keep the settings somehow. Reinstalling it worked fine.

EDIT: Also, sorry for gravedigging in this thread, just noticed the last comment was made in 2018.

Guys, in case Anybody is still looking for an answe, I Think I found the solution, you Need to open the "NFS.BAT" file not the "TNFS.EXE"
