If so, how?
I have access to VMWare Workstation, I was considering preparing a virtual machine to run old Windows games which can't run on Windows 7 x64 and then use the virtual machine on my computer with the free VMWare player.
I experimented a few things (unsurprisingly, I'm no genius at it) and I couldn't get Win95/98 to run with both accelerated graphics and sound card, it seems to be either or.
I messed the drivers in Windows 7 's XP Mode but I successfully made a WinXP machine and I could run one of the interested games but it runs slow (luckily not while in-game), yet it's better than nothing. Anyway the XP machine gets so slow after the installation, not only when using it for playing.
I was wondering if someone has experience/advice about using VMWare as a gaming platform when no other solution is possible.
I also have an outdated version of Connectix's Virtual PC. Can I use it for gaming?
