Metal gear solid on Parallels - any luck?

Hello everybody!

I am trying to play Metal Gear Solid 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_Substance) on Parallels Desktop 5.0.9308 running on a MacBook Pro. I managed to perform a full installation of the game but, when I try to run it, I get a black screen. The game's SFX and music, though, work flawlessly.

Looking at the log file of the game, I found these lines:
/*-- Graphics System Daemon Start --*/
Selected Devicearallels Video Adapter
Device[0]arallels Video Adapter

and, several lines below:

X2W_ErrorPrintfID:ID 8

I also installed the latest DirectX from Microsoft website, but nothing changed.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thank you very much,

Guido

 

Oooops... I overlooked two important details:

1) I am running Parallels with 3D acceleration and 64Mb of video memory;
2) I forgot to quote the most important part of the log file:

/*-- Graphics System Daemon Start --*/
Selected Devicearallels Video Adapter
Device[0]arallels Video Adapter
Can't Find Devicearallels Video Adapter

Sorry for that.

Cheers,

G.

 

Hello Guido,
we will check the issue with Metal Gear Solid 2. Thank you for information.

 

maybe you could try upping the vid memory to 128 mb?

Thank you for the suggestion, but raising video memory to 128MB did not help.

Cheers,

Guido
