There's a big insert about how it's sponsored by Nvidia.  I had my conspiracy theories in mind at that point.

I was hoping that the OS wouldn't be a big deal (as most new games don't list 98 anymore).  I figured the processor would be a problem, but thought that it might boot up and just freeze or crash.  The d3d thing seems like a different problem, but you're right in the end.  I should just give up hope.

Do what it says.  Uninstall the previous driver and set your video cards to standard VGA before installing the new one.

How would i set my video card to standard VGA?

I love this game!  I have it set up to work just fine on my cab.  I don't know how I did it, but it's great.  I have to run it at 800x600, but the remapping stays and the movements are fine.  I would rank it as one of the best PC games to have on the cabinet.  Also, I would like to throw a vote in there for Tiger Woods in consideration that it brings into play 3d courses like the new gt's.

Tiger Woods is definitely great.  But the text is too small to read on my 24"  S-video RCA tv.  Do you have a workaround?

Bottom line though is that i'll never get it to work on a 660 processor if the minimum is 1Ghz, right?

I'm sure Howard_Casto is tired of hearing me rave about this game... but I'll say it again:

Trackmania Sunrise is a BLAST to place on an arcade cab (8 way sticks work just fine for stearing.. remap gas and break to buttons and you are all set)

I've been playing the TM sunrise demo a ton, and while I like an analog joystick, it plays fine with digital controls.
I haven't purchased the full version, though, as it would require tying up a cd drive (game protection requires CD in drive), or opening the cabinet regularly just to play a game (something I've avoided doing).

Yes.. and from what I understand it has a crazy Starforce copy protection on it.. so, forget copying the CD to your HD to play.

My CD Drive is right behind my coin door (so its easy to switch discs for me).   And yeah,, StarForce copy protection is the best there is right now.  None of the the rls groups out there have been able to crack it, YET ;)
