TOCA 2 Touring Cars

What works

Everything but and the introvideo. So you have to launch the game via "Network Quickstart" otherwise it crashes on start. You can "esc" back to main menu and can do everything you can do from there. The Game has copyprotection and needs it's cd. No crack is needed for WINE. I don't know what copyprotection it has. Maybe someone can find out and add this information to the WINE documentation which copy protections are supported. Network Play r­equires native DirectPlay http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames . Without you only get a "link device not found" message. I tested singleplayer and multiplayer via TCP/IP and it works!

What does not

The normal start because showing the intro video crashes wine as stated above. The crack. I have the original but wanted to play without cd. With crack i can't start game because the video configuration screen loops. I got it working with a trick but then the game downgrades to a network installation. Toca2 allows client installs as much as you want. But these are restricted to network games where they can only be a client. I know, this is not the place for cracks. But before someone submits a test for a cracked version i thougt i schould give this info.

Workarounds

What was not tested

IPX, SERIAL and MODEM Network play because i have no modem or serial cable and i havn't installed ipx on my debian squeeze machine and till now i don't know how to. The endsequence. This is a video just like the intro and because the intro video crashes i suppose the endsequence video will crash too.

Additional Comments

The graphics don't look as nice as in Windows 98 and they are not as fast. But in exchange the game now works even in a window :-)
