On the host, I want to create a service that starts up a VMWare player and it will start up a Windows XP VM. Then I install a Virtual Desktop like this one. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx The VM will expand full screen in the Virtual desktop When I push the f1 button …

When starting off, there is a truck dropping a car onto the road, then you can shoot a beam of "dots" out, I think you have to dodge the cars, or something. I think It's for Apple IIe or something. Thanks Jack

I watched a video on youtube which shows that Windows 95 actually got the Windows 3.1 program manager. But can Windows 7 etc be tweaked in the same way? A little bit too far, but just for fun... Thanks Jack

I want to achieve some advanced stuff. 1) Has anyone used a third party virtual desktop software to switch full screen between VMWare host and guests like Windows 7 x64 + XP + Linux 2) Has anyone tried to patch the VMWare bios so that the VM can boot up with a custom bios, like intel D865PERL bios …

.smc for snes .gen, .smd for gen+ But when I click on them, they didn't start automatically. I have to open the emulator and choose the roms instead.

On the bios level, for example, the avance logic chip does polygon flood filling a different way. I don't know why. Perhaps just an illusion, I am a perfectionist on emulators 😀

If the old hardware does blitting and drawing shapes with hardware (especially with windows 3.1 driver installed) , does it mean it is not possible to emulate it and make it look the same on a modern platform pc? Thanks Jack

I just remember it had some introducing code snippet for writing snake byte (Basic) As a little child, I was so elated to having some code like that to try out. So I typed into my Apple, and trying to make it work, but I had no idea what I was doing, so didn't succeed. Thanks Jack

The current font looks a bit modern, I like the classic IBM fonts. How do I make VMWare player use IBM classic fonts? I don't really want to use a TSR. I'd like to have the fonts stored in permanent virtual hardware Are there any tweaks available in the config file? Any ideas? Thanks Jack
