Video Games

The thread was moved from "User Solutions and Workarounds" by Xenos

Ok so when I changed to a Mac from a PC I had to have Parallels to run a couple programs I needed for work. But I also wanted to run my video game "Prince of Persia 2" but it says it can't find the video card and a few other things so it won't run, how do I fix this so I can play my game?

 

Well... First thing first what does it say? If your car is not running correctly you don't tell the mechanic the key doesn't turn right and it does other funny things when I drive it, you tell him what it does.

 

OK here goes

64 MB video memory or higher = 0
Compatible Graphics Card and Driver = Unsupported card- Paralles Video Driver (Build 0)
Pixel Shader 1.1 support =

 

Pixel Shader 1.1 Support = No Pixel Shader Support Detected

Thats about it.

 

at the bottom of the box it asks if I want to launch the game, when I click yes, it then asks if I want to start it in safe mode or not. Either way it never starts.

 

Hello SkyR8der,

Please try enabling DirectX Shaders on Video tab and increasing the Video memory on Memory tab in Configuration Editor.

Increasing VM RAM to 1024 MB approximately can also be useful.

To open Configuration Editor start the Virtual Machine but do not launch the Guest OS, click Configuration.

Best regards,

What Xenos said entails what I usually do in that circumstance.
