Smiley357 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I am looking for freeware that can run more then one 3D game on the same box. I tried using Innotek virtualbox but ran into problems when the game tried to run. Directx seemed to be the issue. no virtual 3D i guess. So does anyone have any ideas?

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 you could use VMware and/or Virtual PC but you would need a second license of the OS because they emulate the entire OS.what is it you are trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I don't think there is a virtual machine program that has good graphics capabilities, or anything like that. They pretty much all see a 1 core pentinum 4 processor, however much ram you give them, and a crappy grahics card, with about 8 megs of video ram. So even if you have a fancy video card, it won't do you any good in a virtual setting. There is no such thing as good graphics in a virtual machine.

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 youd be surprised what VMware can do Oblivion/FEAR/Test drive unlimited: UT2004(tiny 2v2 map but it works): NFS hot pursuit 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbrI6OPVbXsyou can also use WINE in Linux for WOW (the spam/farmbot people usually run 5-10 of them on the same PC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 youd be surprised what VMware can doThat’s after a lot “trail´n´crash”, I would not call it stable not would I call the performance high. I wanted to have multiseat computer systems but hooked off when I saw that most directX 3D apps don’t work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here come the wave of people posting that your rig must suck because their PC never crashes when that do that (but maybe that only works if you say that about an MS product) but if you think VMWare is only for test environments and such it will surprise you. Sure you'll take a performance hit but its defiantly come a long way from the old barely qualifying as a functional program that people often associate with full OS emulators.In the end, you get what you pay for which is why VMWare is free (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 sorry that part you quoted wasn't directed at you it was kinda a passive aggressive comment toward the few people that usually follow mine anytime I mention that one of my PCs might BSOD/Crash/Lockup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
