Don't bump, read forum rule #8!

The emulation of a system is several magnitudes slower than the original, unemulated system; or you need a several magnitudes faster computer to emulate the original system at 100% speed. Therefore, running (recent) games in any kind of emulator is pointless as it will only be a slow slide show...

No, what they mean is: The protection MAY be cheated (got this idea on my own some time ago, but never testet it coz the gcw crew says it makes no sense... ;-D) and the game MAY start, but the overall performance of the emulated maschine is so weak, that the game wonīt run fast (if it will run at all.)

Well, have a look at the emulated hardware by those vmware-like systems. As far as I know, the operating system of the emulated machine detects only a s3-virge like card - enough for some office hacking... But for games? No way...

Note: My experiences of VmWare and this kind of software are months/years old. Do they "emulate" "newer" hardware right now? E.g. Geforce-Card instead of this old 2D-Office-Cards? And remember: VmWare isnīt that cheap at all...

Bah! Bad english.
