Game Locomotion VBox 2.2.2

Post by OrionVII »

hello everybody, I installed Chris Sawyer's Lcomotion on VBox 2.2.2. When I start the game the CD is not recognized in the drive. OK, there are some nocd hacks but I want to run other original 2D games.

Even if you manage to get the game to see the CD, it won't work anyway. Check the system requirements: http://www.atari.com/us/games/locomotion/pc. It needs DirectX, and VB doesn't support that. Only OpenGL.
