Jul 25, 2015 Lately, I have been searching for some old-school rally games, other than the Colin McRae Rally games. I have found 2 games: Sega Rally, which was a disappointment for me and Rally Championship 2000 which made me forget about the other one.This game really makes you feel like being part of a rally.

One of my favourite games is Rally Championship by Magnetic Fields/Europress. It (like International Rally Championship, which I found a workaround to install for here: ) has it's own installer built into the game executable on the CD-ROM.Basically, on my PC (see my signature), when I run the ral.exe installer/game on the CD-ROM, it launches a black screen and nothing happens!
No crash, no error, looking in Task Manager it looks like it's happily running (i.e. No 'Not responding' message), so I'm a bit stuck!I tried a manual install (copying the install folders from my old XP machine), but the game still launches a silent black window.I'm not sure if this is down to my PC configuration, or graphics card/driver (I did have issues with it in the past on my old 7800GS+ card with newer drivers). A lot of 1999-2001 games crash randomly for me (currently) but this RC2000 issue is unique!Does anyone else have a similar 64bit Win8.1 setup with Nvidia graphics (latest driver, even if your card is different)?
Please let me know your findings! I'm starting to solve this one. I noticed the RC2000 demo version 2 works, and demo 3 does the same as the main game. I noticed that in ACT there's a built-in compatibility for 'Mobil Rally Championship' which matches both ral.exe and var/ral.zog. I realised the demo 2 doesn't have this folder, so I renamed var folder (or ral.zog) and the main game exe will launch (with patch 6) (but it doesn't think it's installed as I did a manual install.).I suspected it might be that ACT fix that's breaking it, but disabling the fix in ACT doesn't fix the problem.I then moved all the content of the CD-ROM to a folder on the desktop and replaced the exe with patch 6 version, as the one on the CD just gives black screen and there's no var folder. Now the game will appear, but as it's not properly installed it goes through the installation process, which then fails as it says not enough disk space available, even if you use ACT GetDiskFreeSPace2GB applied.So, I think a combination of manual install, then some file trickery may get somewhere.
I'll report back soon once I've cracked it! Unfortunately, that's as far as I can get!In short:- ral.exe on CD-ROM just shows black screen, there's no ral.zog on the CD.- If I install on other PC and copy across install folder and Registry strings, then ral.exe just shows black screen.- If I replace ral.exe with Patch6 version, again, black screen.- If I then rename the var folder, or the ral.zog file inside it, then ral.exe loads, showing the install/uninstall options, but not play, as I guess it needs ral.zog to know the game is installed. If you try to install it'll say not enough disk space, even though my C and D drive show 1GB available (the ACT fix to limit disk space reporting doesn't help).- Demo 2 from works fine. RCDEMO3 (available many other places) doesn't, unless you remove var folder or rename ral.zog. Demo 2 has no var folder or ral.zog.- ACT, under System Database (32-bit) Applications Mobil Rally Championship has a thread lowering 'fix' that matches ral.exe and valral.zog - I thought it could be this, but in reality it's got the wrong path, as it should be varral.zog not val. So it's not this either. It's something to do entirely with ral.zog, which contains something like this only:Code:; Rally Championship; INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONcdrom=e:installation=3installation=3 should be full install, option 3 on the installation program FYI.
Okay I found how to install it properly, sidestepping the not enough space issue, you do the following:1. Go to and download the latest patch called 5.30.0 - this is 'Patch 6'2. Extract it into a simple path, e.g. Follow the instructions in UPDATE.TXT in the extracted folder! It says these are for 8 MB Voodoo owners, but the same applied to me (i've tweaked the wording below FYI):As you cannot install the game using the exe on the CD, you will need to ensure that the current directory do the following to install the game.1.
Unzip the patch to your hard disk e.g. Open a dos prompt box (press Windows key then type cmd and press return3.
Change directory to the Rally CD e.g. D: (or E: if that's your CD drive!)4. Run the new exe as follows, from the folder it is extracted in, via this: C:PATCHRAL.EXE5. Install the gameNOTE: Immediately after installation the game is run, this will be the old exe that will just show a black screen/stop. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, bring up Task Manager and End Task ral.exe6. Copy the new ral.exe from the C:PATCH folder over the one where you installed the game7. Run the new exe in the game folderNOTE: for me, I still then get a black screen, unless I rename the var folder or ral.zog inside that folder.

After that, the ral.exe just shows an update program message, and if you do, nothing happens!Alternatively, another way is to unzip the patch as normal and create a shortcut to the new exe ensuring that the 'target' is the new exe and the 'start in' directory points to the Rally Championship CDNOTE. You will not be able to autorun the Rally CD to run the game. Right, my final take on this:1. Needs ALchemy applied to the game folder to even start the game.2.
Audio will smisbehave and/or crash if DS3D is selected.3. Audio will crash if EAX is selected.4. Audio will not play at all if Dolby is selected.5. If sound is not set to Low then it'll stop playing after a few seconds and hitting escape will lock the game up.6. Enhanced channels is possible with any setting without affecting what that setting does (i.e. Can use Low and Enhanced and it'll work).6.
However, HOWEVER. Selecting A3D 2.0 allows CD quality and Enhanced, and.seems. to work fine!So that's it, A3D 2.0 and ALchemy applied to the game folder = works!There is a little menu glitch though: the menu flickers and disappears in parts (most of the car fixing screen for example). My monitor allows me to swap between 60hz, 120hz and 144hz with a button push, so swapping between them allows more or less to be seen (144hz shows most, 60hz makes most vanish).

Double/Triple buffering has no effect on this. Not sure what could improve this (I believe I tried processor affinity and that didn't help). Overall it's more minor, as the game is playable at least, to a degree!The most important tip is to not run higher than 60hz in stages with mud, or there will be a Guru Meditation crash as you slide on the mud!
I tested this on Tyrones Ditches with 60hz vs 120hz vs 144hz and 60hz never crashed.
