Well, since Kelly mentioned it....
I'm building a Win98 virtual machine for playing games, and I'm still struggling with VirtualBox 3.1.2. Copying files from host to guest is a nightmare (\\vboxsvr\share doesn't work), let alone installing hi-res video card driver for the Win98 guest (3.1.2 Guest Addition ISO only has drivers for NT4). And I have tried filtering my USB flash disk ad nauseam, and nope, it just won't appear in the guest O/S (the same flash disk that works with my real Win98 PC). And I don't want to think about the nightmare of connecting USB joystick to the guest after the experience with the USB flash disk.
And yes, my host is Windows XP Home, running on MSI Wind netbook. My guest is Windows 98SE.
So what is the best VM solution to run Win98 for gaming purpose? I had wanted to try VPC, but after some Google search, I read VPC doesn't support USB joystick (argh!). How about VMWare? Anyone experienced with virtualization before? What would you suggest?
Thanks.
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
