SimCity
« on: April 12, 2026, 01:57:53 am »
Hello all,

Does anyone have an idea about how to run SimCity (2000?) for OS/2 on ArcaOS in a VM?

It is part of the software programs that either hang when starting up or just do not start (ending up with another section in popuplog.os2 but nothing else), such as the DUX dictionaries (AHD, ..).

The OS/2 version was always unstable but did run. Perhaps it is SMP unsafe. Try running it with only one CPU.
The DOS version used to run better, used all my PAS16 sound card capabilities by also using the SB part. It had to be installed so that the program object had the right parameter, which I now forget.
