Windows 98 ?

Hi, this may sound like a daft question but will this game run o windows 98, has anyone tried it?

The reason I ask is because I am building and arcade racing cabinet with some of my old bits, mainly my MS sidewinder 1 FFB wheel (Gameport version) and seeing as I can only get full FFB in 98 that is what I was basing the cabinet on, the PC specs are all above the minimum recomended spec. Failing that I may need to get a new steering wheel but it seems a shame to get rid of a perfectly good (unsupported by MS!!) steering wheel.

Thanks in advance for any reply

Hi, thanks for the reply but from what i have read you can install DX9c on windows 98 so if that is all that is stopping me I may have to dig out all the bits and build it up on a bench unless there are any other things which may stop it working?

Yes, there are other things that will be missing, it won't run on Windows 2000 neither.
