Your second sentence conflicts with your third sentence.A modern XP/Vista computer is extremely likely to come with one of those newer video cards that older games choke on (Thief or Grim Fandango on a Geforce 8K-series is not a pleasant experience). I can think of a number of games offhand, even in the Windows 98 era, that choke and die on newer video cards (Medieval: Total War comes to mind, barfing spectacularly on cards as old as the GeForce 4). Early Windows games will run equal or, much more likely, worse in VMWare (as you just said, there were mouse issues) than on a modern XP/Vista computer.

VMWare just keeps getting better and better - and I'm prepared to say already that a capable Mac is THE retro gaming platform of choice. The mouse wasn't completely smooth but it's OK.

You aren't going to find a Mac that can run those games at all, but if I really look I can still get a modern PC with an ISA bus for those older graphics cards. I can think of a number of games offhand, even in the Windows 98 era, that choke and die on newer video cards (Medieval: Total War comes to mind, barfing spectacularly on cards as old as the GeForce 4) and while you could get a GeForce 256 or similar graphics card for your Mac.you'll be booting into Windows to take advantage of it to play the games, which kind of misses the fucking point a whole bunch.(I can also run VMWare on Windows and do the same thing as you're doing, assuming I spontaneously develop a severe case of the stupids.)Going further back, DOSBox can't run a number of older games because there's no graphics chipset available for it (there are patches for Tseng ET4000s out there, but that's only one chipset and a number of games were didn't offer Tseng support-the Trident support which is supposedly 'good' is far from it and none of the others are beyond talking-about-it stage).

I think it has to do with the changes for multiple monitors in the guest.'Fallout, Diablo, Tie Fighter, hmmm. If the autoFitFullScreen line exists, replace it or comment out the old line.Note: This setting doesn't currently work in 2.0b1. You can tell Fusion to scale the guest to the host's resolution by editing /Users/yournamehere/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences to include the toFitFullScreen = 'fitHostToGuest'If the preferences file doesn't exist, create it as a plain text file.

Thought it was a limitation of my LCD monitor so I asked the question in AV, but the answer is actually a useful VMWare Fusion tip:'Fit Full ScreenWhen you switch to fullscreen mode in a guest without tools installed or a guest which changes the screen resolution, you might notice black borders around the screen since the host resolution remains the same.

I was trying to play Diablo full-screen and couldn't work out how to get the 640x480 image to scale up.
