Hi forum,
I am trying to built a XP compatible VM with virtualbox (since vmware was dead slow) to run and preserve old benchmarks like old 3damark series.
Why did I üiock WinFLP?
Because the number of additional updates which are required to get WinFLP to work reasonably short and takes less time.
What I done so far.
I used a WINFLP ISO which already has SP2 included to built the VM.
next I install either SP3 for WinFLP and mounted the ISO for Vbox guest additions and installed the drivers for a smoother preformance.
Than I installed 3dmark99. I did not ran into any issues during the installation and did not have to extract .exe file.
Now I do know that at this point that old version of 3dmark will complain about he wrong of directx and that this issue can be resolved by placing a copy of the 'ddraw.ddl' into the 3dmark folder.
Only problem I do not know which version of the 'ddraw.ddl' I need to get 3dmark99 to work and places like http://www.oldversion.com/ are real pain to find the single correct file.
Can someone please point into the right direction?
Thx,user8989
