![]() I also suspected about something wrong with the emulation for GP4. I was really surprised to see that GP4 emulation under a W11 ARM64 VM in QEMU worked until that point. I am yet to try out Grand Prix 3 (older version) and dgVoodoo 2. I load the game, it asks for graphics calibration and it does, I can see the race in near full glory, pretty good race speed, but after calibration, back to the main menu, a few seconds later the machine just froze and rebooted. I suspect it could play 20+ years old games from late 90's like the one I mentioned, 2D Graphics Accel is enough for them, but I faced one issue, the VM was crashing on me several times. ![]() However, it's not 3D in full glory as one would expect, just a very basic one, 2D Graphics Acceleration. I've found out that a Windows 11 Pro ARM64 VM on UTM and virtio-ramfb-gl (GPU Supported) can run a x86 game like Grand Prix 4, since dxdiag reports it has D3D and DDraw support (?!?!?!?!) after installing the SPICE Guest Tools. ![]() Maybe Microsoft should just stick their business (and nose) with software only, instead of hardware, unlike Apple, who has the expertise to do both after several transitions. The M1 performance is so good that letting it run Windows 11 ARM natively would TRASH completely their Surface devices. There's VMware Fusion for M1, but no Windows support at all, because Michael Roy thinks Parallels are sailing in a grey area with regards to Windows licenses (even though 11 ARM is still Insider Preview), and Microsoft has a "secret" deal with Qualcomm, for exclusive license of Windows 11 with their ARM processors - which is supposed to be set to expire soon, but I wouldn't hold any high hopes for Microsoft to support M1 with any Bootcamp version. So I am sticking with the most sensible and legal option for now, UTM. I am sticking with UTM for now, because my needs are different (I do not have any modern game that requires such power to play, like F1 2017 or NBA 2K22 for example).Īlso, I have tried Parallels Desktop trial version + PD Runner and albeit I was able to run Windows 11 ARM in full glory, the workarounds provided by PD Runner weren't working THAT well, plus for the long run in future this solution may not be permanent (Parallels can close this loophole, for example). You can do both on Parallels, but Parallels is not cheap either.
