This might not be any help at all, but I know with FCP you can hack it to ignore startup checks for certain graphics cards and then it works fine.

So, not an emulation solution, but maybe there is a way to get the game to ignore its startup check and still run. That's a pretty good graphics card, isn't it? In theory it should work, as long as the game doesn't reject it.

Just speculation here.

Hi fellow list members

I have recently installed VMWare Fusion and Windows XP Pro, in order to begin explore the other side of my iMac. So far, so good, except for one minor problem - recognition of the graphics card. I guess that as the graphics card is part of the hardware, then Windows offers little assistance in the way of emulating hardware.

Has anyone on the list got the same software installed and working, and if so, do you know whether there is a way of getting PC programs to recognise the Mac's graphic card.

I have a game installed, which is compatible with the operating system (Windows XP), that will not execute. I contacted the game's developer, and he told me that it was not loading because it didn't recognise the graphic card, however if I could find a work-around, it might work. His bottom line, however, was that the company did not support the use of their (PC) games on Mac's.
