came out as the best.
So I decided to use that as the testing platform.
So far I ran,
Morrowind. ( playable )
Midtown Madness 1, ( playabel in softare mode )
Jedi Knight ( playable in software mode )
Sega Rally Revo, ( playable )
Trespasser, ( playable only in software mode)
Beast wars, ( doesnt work )
Street fighter Alpha ( works )
Discworld II ( wont start )
Discworld noir ( wont start )
Blade Runner ( playable )
Nocture ( runs only in software mode )
Colin McRae rally 2 demo ( unplayable )
GTA Vice City ( playable)
Freedom Fighters (crashes)
Mage Knight Apocalypse ( Crashes)
Myst IV ( works )
Syberia 1 (works but the main menu breaks up )
Syberia 2 ( works fine )
Chaos Legion ( works fine )
Vampire Redemption (works fine )
Hellgate London ( doesnt work )
The Sims 2 Base Game Only ( works fine )
Star Wars Kotor 1, Best of PC Edition ( works fine )
Star Wars Kotor 2 (crashes )
Cursed Mountain ( works)
Murder On The Orient Express ( works )
Dreamfall ( DRM interferes )
Undying ( works fine)
All games were tested under Windows XP SP 2.
In a virtual machine with a 40 gig hd,
1.9 gig of ram,
and a 512* mb video card. ( *Upped from 128 mb)
The host pc is an Intel i5 core @ 3.39 ghz,
with 12 gig of ram,
and a 2 gig video card.
Here is what I found.
Morrowind runs just fine in 1024x768.
There is some texture warping around the wrist and ankles, but otherwise it's fine.
Windows xp bsods when I try to go in to a higher resolution.
This may just be the virtual drivers.
Midtown Madness 1 refused to load the game proper under the "hardware" video card.
But was perfectly willing to run in 640x400 in software mode.
Ugly, but playable.
Jedi Knight became trippy with the 3D accelerator activated.
But was perfectly playable with the software mode.
Trespasser only ran in software mode,
at 800x600 and everything turned up high.
Ran fine.
Got eaten by a dino.
sega rally revo runs in hardware mode
and runs just fine amazingly enough in 800x600 might turn the resolution up a bit see what it does
beast wars :
Custom mode, it considers 640x480 as ahem ...high.
Specifically made for 3DFX cards.
Doesn't start up at all.
Doesn't work in software mode either.
This is a 1998 game though, so this may mean nothing at all.
And is most likely due to Windows XP rather then the VM.
Street fighter Alpha
Runs fine.
It has almost zero customization options, but if you get it in window mode it wil take on the native screen resolution of the guest OS.
In this case 1024x768.
It runs fine a bit too fine maybe, I don't recall Alpha being this fast
Next up are:
Oblivion
Colin McRae Rally 04
Colin Mcrae Rally 2005
