SET UP YOUR GAME
Install & launch
Game files from your original NASCAR Racing 2.0.2 build 068 game disc, or an installed folder containing NASCAR, GVRPLUS and Hercules.
NASCAR/Shell/bin/AMPlayer.exe- Add NASCAR in Systems and choose Set up.
- Choose the game files from your original game disc and a writable destination, or choose the existing installed folder containing NASCAR, GVRPLUS and Hercules. Setup prepares the game without running the original installer.
- Connect the original security dongle. Configure Controls and Options; choose the original resolution, 1360 × 768 or 1920 × 1080 if wanted.
- Launch through Arcade IO and fully press and release both pedals during calibration. Choose your driver, transmission and track in the original menus.
BEFORE YOU LAUNCH
Original security hardware
Requires the original NASCAR security dongle and its compatible driver.
Use your own original game files and the required security hardware. Arcade IO does not include the game or a replacement security key.
YOUR PROGRESS
Player cards & online support
Virtual driver cards
Enable the reader in Card reader settings before launch. Open Player cards to create or select a saved card and insert/eject it in the game. NASCAR uses its own card library. Create a career in the original game and associate the card with it; the app's card PIN and NASCAR's career number are separate.
Standalone careers
Player cards and careers are local to your prepared installation. Arcade IO does not provide a hosted NASCAR account service. LAN linking and motion cabinets are not supported.
THE CABINET EXPERIENCE
Controls, force feedback & lamps
Choose your connected board or local controls in Arcade IO, then use this game's Controls and output settings to match your cabinet.
| Controls | Cabinet inputs Wheel, accelerator, brake, four-position shifter, View, Look back, Music, Start, coins and operator input. |
|---|---|
| Force feedback | Supported Menu centring, steering resistance and vibration follow the original game through menus and races. Configure direction and strength for your connected feedback device. |
| Lamps & lighting | Start & Leader Start and Leader follow the original game's commands and can be mapped to your cabinet outputs. |
Force feedback needs a compatible feedback device. Physical lighting needs a connected board with the appropriate outputs. Use the original game's test menu to check your mapping.
MAKE IT YOURS
Display & things to know
Original, 1360 × 768 or 1920 × 1080 gameplay. Choose the option before launch; the shell has its own presentation.
