GP2 install in DosBox (Win10)

Post by Lactobacillus »

Hello, I would like to install GP2 on DosBox, but unfortunately this does not work. Did the loaded files in the GP2 folder. If I mount the game folder in DosBox and enter setup nothing happens. when I enter gp2 the game starts but the memory statuses are not saved! My notebook no longer has a CD drive!

I recommend to you use the D-Fend reloaded Frontend. I use it in virtual WinXP and native Win10 and Win11 and it works well.

For GP2 I use the no cd patch and have to mount two drives as shown here:

I use GPlaps tutorial and running on ECE Dosbox.
Jake here shows how to install Indycar 2 on ECE Dosbox.
As an example and using this guide I substituted Indycar 2 for GP2 instead. It worked great on my Windows 10 64bit.

And.... while you're watching Jake's videos- check out the video review he made of the Sanair oval track I made in ICR2!

Great stuff love it and impressive build my friend.

Another great game Icr2 that I play regular on Dosbox alongside GP2, GP1 and NASCAR 2.
Can't wait and following progress of SK Chows recent build of Detroit street circuit too.
