    Right, just got my Efika up and running and now I'm looking for Virtual Grandprix 2 to run on it. Only problem is I can't find anywhere to download it from. As far as I understand it was a free download?

    Anybody able to help?

    Thanks

    Well I tried running it, and can't get it to boot on my Efika, so think memory might be a problem. Then again completely new to Morphos so it might be me :-?

    Memory is definitely not a problem on Efika if you stick to the standard res textures, I tried it myself and still had a good quantity of free mem while running the game.
    The fact that zip for MorphOS doesn't preserve the protection bits might be the problem, instead.
    So, open a shell, cd to the VGP2 dir and type

    protect #? +rwed all

    ( #? is the MorphOS DOS equivalent of * in linux, +rwed means that a file is set to be readable, writable, executable and deletable, all means that the operation is repeated recursively into subirs as well)

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
