VMWare Fusion beta 3 Release Notes + JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.

 

Took forever to install on a Mac Pro with 4GB of memory, but it works.

 

Install Notes:

- Use FreeBSD mode (IDE)

- Boot/install off of a burned DVD of JaS OS X 10.4.8

- Hit F8 at beginning of boot and use "-v -s" switches.

- Have to run Disk Utility at beginning to format.

- Install Intel support.

 

Notes:

- The 3D acceleration for Fusion had no impact (if anything it slowed it down).

- Obviously there are no tools to install after installation is complete.

- Saw 128MB of video memory, but no Core Image/Quartz Extreme .

- Sees the harddrive as VMWare Images (the brand).

 

Ran about as fast as a 300MHz G3 PowerMac with a crappy video card and 256MB of memory (I gave it 1024).

 

This was with the debug code off.

 

It's not really usable at this point speed-wise, but it works, and the apps don't crash or anything.
