Default Problem running Micro Machines 2

Hiya guys.

Ive only just found this fantastic site and have started reveling in some of the greatest games Ive even played.

Ive installed the latest version DosBox and have used it to play a few games but am having trouble getting micro machines 2 to run.

After loading up Dosbox and doing all the mount thing etc - when I run the MM2 .exe file the screen just goes completely blank and nothing else happens.

Anyone else had this problem? Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

hmm, just downloaded it but worked for me without any problems on 0.72.

try running sound.bat and select no sound for now, then try different cores (it worked on auto for me, max cycles)

if the sound thingy doesnt work (actualy even after it does), try running mm2.bat

It worked for me. You could try setting the option "cycles" to a fixed amount. This basically controls how fast Dosbox runs. Try:
cycles=10000
and see if the game starts up. You can raise cycles higher later if you want by using the function keys.
