![]() ![]() In VMware, the game quickly succumbed to an error that caused incorrect colors to be displayed. ![]() I was able to get through the entire Starcraft shareware campaign in Virtualbox with no issue. Neither program provides much support for scaling up a 640x480 program (Like MOO2, Diablo, or Starcraft) to occupy a 1024x768 region on a 1366x768 screen. In Virtualbox, by contrast, Quake 2 and Elite Force are 100% fine, and Far Cry just has render distance issues (namely anything farther away than two inches from your face gets rendered as solid gray). Quake 2, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, and Far Cry all have mouse control issues in VMware that make them effectively unplayable. VMware runs them with flawless sound but worse frame rates. Doom 3 and Quake 4 have better frame rates in Virtualbox, but frequent sound glitches/stuttering. Lithtech Engine games run better in VMware AvP2 doesn't run at all in Virtualbox VMware has buggier support for animated wallpapers (Windows Active Desktop) ![]() VMware is better at running old versions of Windows, but Virtualbox is better at running ON older versions of Windows (VMware 16 won't run on anything older than Win10) I haven't yet tried to create a multiboot VM with Virtualbox but I expect it to be possible. VMware Workstation Player does not allow setting the boot order, making it difficult or impossible to create a multiboot virtual machine (though I have no idea why you'd want to do this). ![]()
