Issues unresolved
Game framedrops/speedups/freeze
- Due to an issue with clockspeed, the game will begin losing frames within minutes of startup regardless of compatibility mode settings. It can regain frames at an exceedingly accelerated rate shortly after but it will always lead to a freeze.
Issues fixed
Game doesn't load on 32/64bit Windows OS
- Install game and
update1to bring game to version 1.0.1185a - Download
gp500_win2k.exeand place it in GP500's installation folder - Set
gp500_win2k.exeto Windows XP SP3 compatibility and 16-bit color mode
Notes:
- It is possible you may need to set
gp500_win2k.exeto Windows 98/ME compatibility if the game doesn't start or crashes to desktop - Frame slowdown still takes place making Time Trial problematic but it is possible to complete races, as the game doesn't speed up the same way it does on Time Trial
- There have been two .exe modifications made to allow the game to run on Vista or later operating systems. One is
GP500Core2.exeand it can be run with Compatibility Mode to Windows 7 - Not necessary but replacing
GP500.exewith a "noCD" .exe has no negative repercussion
