So what's the thing with the quotation marks? Well, apart from saying how I managed to get it running right, I have to say this is not actually Monaco Grand Prix Racing Simulation 2, but a rebrand version of it released in 2003 as a free game included in Kellogs Frosties cereals. But since the game engine is probably the exact same, I wanted to warn you to use Inspector instead of Rivatuner Statistics Server or DxWind frame limiters: at least I wasn't able to cap it with those two programs. I don't know why, but I guess the game just refuses to acknowledge any high level software setting and that probably Inspector setting works because it probably is working at a lower software level, but I don't know if even the later statements are true. I hope this was helpful for somebody that reads this. Sadly I was unable to make it run at a higher res than 640x480. If I manage something else worth noting I'll post it. :) | So what's the thing with the quotation marks?

So, if this helps, now I'm running the game at 4.3ghz. Seems that the game already uses only one core, but to avoid any issues, this is the content of the batch file (.txt file converted to .bat) I made to run the game always on the first core: |
