Virtural Racer For Genesis with 32x problem

[ussexplorer]

I picked up virtural racer today. I cleaned the contacts and it runs fine on the genesis 2 without the 32x unit. When I put the cart in the 32x unit. It just display the copyright screen and goes blank? Does it just need a better cleaning or is this a problem. I wondered through the forum and didn't find much information.

 

Thanks,

Virtua Racer doesn't work on the 32X because of its special chip.

Virtua Racing is not compatible with the 32X attached, something with the coprocessor, or it may have been a lockout forcing you to purchase Virtua Racing Deluxe.

Thanks for the fast replies. I was wondering about that. I really need to get my genesis 1 connected to the other tv.

No, that's silly, it's the extra chip in the game that creates hardware conflicts with the 32X.

its not silly, there may have been an easy workaround, but since VR Deluxe was to be released they didnt bother.

It's because of the SVP chip.

 

If you want to play the regular Virtua Racing, you need to take out your 32x. Luckily I have VR Deluxe, so I there's no reason to go back to the original.
