I have just uploaded a No-CD patch. I have verified that it works.

Within Sheep, without Virtual DVD-ROM/CD Utility, the game complained before as well.

I didn't get a native screenshot of this game, either with Apple-Shift-3 or Snapz Pro 2.

I tested Pro Pinball: Big Race USA. The game works in mac os 9.2.2 on Power mac G4 1.25 Ghz mirror door 2003. The game can't read the locked Toast image but works when you burn the CD.

The screenshot seen above is actually a photography of the PowerBook G3 Pismo internal monitor.

When trying to run this game within Sheep, I get this err msg: "Vertical blank timing procedure failed"
