Articulate Vlish Relle Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Neither game will open because of the resolution. Any way to force them to open in the netbook standard resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish ottakoi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 try to run a virtual machine software then install & play G4&G5 in the VM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Relle Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Any tips on how to set one up? And does the Windows 7 'XP Mode' qualify as a virtual machine? My netbook is running Windows 7 rather than XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish ottakoi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 As far as I know, MS Virtual PC & 'XP Mode' actually is a VM for Windows 7. The supported resolutions it offers has been extended up to 2048x1920 from 1600x1200. You can switch the resolution easily. The good news is that besides G4&G5 you can even have the Exile Trilogy running in Windows 7. You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ Make sure your netbook meets its system requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Relle Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I tried Intel's program to see if my CPU would support hardware virtualization, and...nope. I'm guessing there's no other way to get Geneforge working on a netbook, which makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The Knight Who Said Ni Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well, I suggest buying a 13'' Macbook Pro. Other than that good luck. Apple appears the better emerging option -Ni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 There is only one flaw that that plan. The 13" Pro costs like, 5 times as much as a netbook. Other than that, rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
