indiochano Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) I tried using parallels to install win 98 but it just wouldnt let me when the boot disc restarted the computer. Therefore I opted for VMware Fusion but the thing is just too damn slow and it the display that it has is horrible (limited to 16 colors at a very sloppy refresh rate)... Anyone knows how to successfully emulate win 98 suitable for playing some old games? PS:I do have Windows XP installed in my macbook pro with Parallels and the thing runs damn fast, almost at native speed... I havent tried XP under fusion.... Thanks.

Lactobacillus P Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I do believe VMWare is a little slower, although it does support 3D graphics on XP....
