Civilization 4 (patch 1.61 - no expansions) | Xp Pro, SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Macbook (1.8, 2gb) GMA950 | James Snell | App loader starts loading game - then entire VM crashes ungracefully:( |
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.4.11 | 1.1.1 (72241) | iMac (2.16, 2gb) ATI X1600) | Henri de Marcellus | The game starts up, and the splash screen and scenario selection screens appear nicely. It hangs a for a while when drawing the battlefield. Many objects aren't drawn and come and go as you move the camera. Other than choppy play, the main problem is that none of the superimposed graphics (text, selection boxes, etc.) appear. This one is almost semi-working. |
Counter Strike Source | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Macbook Pro, 2.0, 2gb, ATI x1600 | Matt Peters | Applications starts, performance extremely poor, mouse over issues. Sound glitching. Can't progress further than servers list. |
Crysis | Windows 7 | 10.6.1 | 3.0.0 (204229) | Mac Pro (GeForce 8800 GT) | kbong | Game runs, slow and ugly, with all graphics settings at the minimum level. |
Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind\ | XP Pro, SP2 | | 1.1b1 (57919) | iMac (late 2006) (Radeon x1600) | aanhorn | game loads and runs with choppy sound, texture failure after entering first building (black screen) |
Empire Earth I | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.5 | 2.0.1 (128865) | MacBook Pro (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT) | damainman | Upon starting the game, it shows the splash screen, the screen goes black and within seconds your back at the desktop and the game is closed. |
Galactic Civilizations II\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.2 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | dpolombo \ Sormine | Game launches, and it is possible to start a game. Gray lines constantly flash across the screen, and the interface is very slow, making it very difficult to play. Addition: Text and graphic is distorted from the grey line. Line seem to be coming from the upper left screen in a cone shap toward lower right corner of the screen. Crash "blue screen" crash upon exit of the game. Crash is dirty and reboot require shutting down the guess then restarting it after it freeze on rebooting after crash. |

Google Earth 4.3\ | XP Pro SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro 17", 2.5GHz Core2Duo, 2GB DDR2, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT | darrylr | Goolge Earth start up and will appear to run for a while especially if you run in Safe Mode and have unchecked most options in the sidebar such as "Layers>Borders and Labels". However checking "Borders and Labels" or loading kml files that contain a large number of lines (several thousand) will reproducibly hang the virtual machine. Some of the lines are also often misdrawn before the virtual machine hangs. Often the hang also casues problems for the host OS with the host becoming unresponsive and requiring a reboot. Yes and OK Google Earth is not a game, but it uses DirectX, and I yes know it runs natively on Mac OS X, but I need to run with code that uses the OLE/.NET API only available on Windows. |
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas\ | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro (Radeon Mobility X1600) | WelshSage | Game is too slow to be playable. Shadows are not rendered correctly if at all |

Halo: Combat Evolved | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | Nickhamm | Runs only in safe mode; Extremely low FPS (like 5-10 fps) |

There's also an issue with the crosshair causing the body parts of game characters to be attracted to the crosshair causing lines of streteched body parts to constantly appear around the crosshair location. Switching off the Cross Hair makes no difference. Pixel shaders seem to work though. |
Need for Speed Carbon | XP Pro SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | Nickhamm | Very slow; Graphics drawn incorrectly (black during race) |
Neverwinter Nights 2 | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.2 | 1.1 | MacBook Pro (4.1, 4GB, GeForce 8600M GT) | mokoosh | 1stit says no disk; once you fiddle and put the disk in again it says no Direct3D (even though it has been checked off in Fusion) |

Tries to start, the stops and complains the video card needs to support at least version 1.1 pixel shaders. Works fine under Boot Camp. |
Portal: The First Slice | XP Home, SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro (Radeon X1600) | cwalther | Game runs, but rendering defects make it hardly playable. Menu screen has small defects but is recognizable (text readable). Once arrived in the game: With recommended graphics settings: screen is black, faint red and green gradients depending on viewing angle, no geometry visible. With minimum graphics settings: some objects are textured with what looks like a normal map, most have no texture at all but just a flat color (including crosshairs, particles, light halos). In both cases: text characters rendered as solid rectangles, stays that way when returning to the menu screen. |
Portal: The First Slice | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | etung | Performance is unplayably slow, perhaps 1 fps. Note this is hardware dependent; on my MBP it runs beautifully. |
Pro Cycling Manager 2007 | XP Pro SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | anton3s | Game crashes a soon as you try to start a race/tutorial. |
RealFlight G4 Demo\ | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b1 (89933) and 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro 17", 2.5GHz Core2Duo, 2GB DDR2, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT | darrylr | The free G4 demo download barely works and is not usable like G3.5 is. If you do not change the default model the simulation will run however... Many tens of error messages pop-up that each need to be dismissed; at program start up, when selecting a new model or when a model crashes, "Error creating effect ShadowBlob2" and "Error creating effect ShadowAntiBlob2" regardless of whether Simulation>Settings>Graphics>Quality>Shadows Enabled is Yes or No. Many more of these errors occur than with G3.5 as G4 is obviously trying to render more shadows. Trying to change from the default model aircraft usually causes an application crash, either an "unknown error occurred" dialog and request to automatically submit a report to Knife Edge Software or just a silent crash of the application. Because of this I was unable to test a helicopter model (see G3.5 notes above). As expected graphics performance in Unity mode is horrible, audio stutters a well, Windows error messages like in #1 do not display properly in Unity mode, but not important. 2.0b2 fixed this: Window>Show Title Bar has problems enabling the Title Bar, you have to use the mouse to "paint over" where the TitleBar is to make it appear when you turn it on after turning off.

Game only runs at 1024x768. Should be able to get better performance out of this game. |
Space Empire V\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.2 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | Sormine | Using the STEAM\ version of the game (Game Download Service)Work in some very limited video mode and with Video Memory put to safe. Slow to the point of being un-playable (even for a turn based game). Crash randomly. Seem to work with the game when game video preference taken off from Direct3D HAL or Direct3DTL HALand set to RGB Emulation. Video memory still need to be put in safe. acceptable speed there but not really using Direct 3D On many video setting, blank black screen with sometime grey horizontal line with all attempt of video setup. Need to force exit with CTRL-ALT-DEL. As soon as it exit, crash "blue screen" crash upon exit of the game. Crash is dirty and reboot require shutting down the guess then restarting it after it freeze on rebooting after crash. |
