Joaquim Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 using the VMWare, how can i change the CPU frequency and the Video Memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 i changed the VRAM, on VMware Options, to 256MB's... but, on Windows 98 only detects 16MB's... using the VMware Tools or other graphic drivers... why isn't detected 256MB's?

DosFreak Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 When running 9x in Vmware or Virtualbox you don't have a GPU just a video card as such you don't need much RAM. Even 16mb is overkill unless you are using an extremly high resolution at 32bit color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) yes i'm using resolution at 32bit color. so why the DOOM 2\Spear of Destiny seems slow? Edited January 16, 2020 by Joaquim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosFreak Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Because those are DOS protected mode and real mode games and the virtualbox dynamic recompilation as well as audio emulation are likely s*** for running those games. Use ports for those games, DOSBox or pcem in that order. Do not use virtualization programs for DOS games except for edge cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 i need ask more 1 thing: why i can't install the Universal VBE20 2014.01.31 version or above? i get the Blue Screen after choose the 32MB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosFreak Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 IIRC, vmware and virtualbox use emulated video cards created specifically for those virtualization products. Any DOS VESA TSR you find it likely looking for a video card created during the time period it was created. Don't use vmware and virtualbox for DOS games except for edge cases like if your computer is a POS, the game doesn't have a windows or linux port, the game runs too slow in DOSBox or pcem.
