Update: PKR on VMWare

I'm still getting a lot of people asking me if PKR runs on VMWare. The current release of PKR and VMWare seem to be broadly compatible. Here is a scrappy video of my settings so people can give it a go. I run PKR off of my bootcamp partition but there is no need to use a separate partition. Click through to watch in HD where it is a little better.

It's a little grainy but you should be able to see the settings I've been using for DX, VMWare and PKR.

This doesn't mean that future verisons of PKR or VMWare are going to work btw.

    I can’t remember whether VMWare is free, but VirtualBox is. Also, I use Darwine (WINE for Mac) for various things, like Ventrilo; I wonder whether PKR would run under that.

    VMWare isn’t free. I think it’s about £80. VirtualBox is a good idea.

    I just tried VirtualBox and while it’s a really great product PKR installs but fails to run as it can’t create a D3DDevice.
