I wish there was a way to get a proper dos setup on a modern computer so you could run old games without dicking around. Especially just using a dos menu program. I think the one I used to use as a kid was quick menu. I still have some of my old games from when I was a kid. Some dos based, some early Windows based. I have need for speed 2, 3 and 4 all on cd, and x-wing.

I downloaded the demo and the driving physics are definitely different to GT5. Using the R35, turn in is much sharper and you have more of an idea of how far you can push the grip you have. Graphics are a little sharper but the main thing was the clarity of distance. Sound is only slightly improved.

Check out Dosbox, or if you're lazy you can get X-Wing from gog.com.

Fairly sure the older NFS games can be made to work with Windows 7, as I got my original copy of NFS:SE to work after some fiddling.

I've used dosbox in the past.

I know that NFS 3 works in Windows xp. I had it on my work computer for a while. Was pretty heavy on resources though.

Jap Devs are failing big time with new gen consoles. First it was the legendary Winning Eleven aka PES to be overtaken by FIFA now FORZA has overtaken GT. GT5 was absolutely shit! I returned the game back within 30mins of purchasing it. Lets hope GT6 is alot better. I wish we had Forza on PC !

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
