HowTo: Run Glider on 64bit OS via Virtual Machine

[Socah]

Wow on Virtual Machine says that can't find suitable display device. Any idea?

moka5 won't accept that my windows xp iso file is an operating system lol. when i try to run the virtual machine it looks like its loading and when it stops it says this:

Network boot from AMD Am79C990A
Copyright (C) 2003-2005
copyright (C) 1997-2000
CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 23 00 39 6F GUID: 564D90D0 (and more numbers)

PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
Operating System not found.

Any ideas????

some help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Actually, you can't play wow with moka5 cause you don't have DirectX with it.

I can get WoW running and Glider running but my mouse goes crazy. If I move my mouse the slightest the camera immeadiatly goes to a top view of my character and if I move the mouse the other way, it goes to the bottom and looks at the sky. Everything else if fine though. This mouse problem makes getting places to glide a bitch.

Turn off hardware mouse, should fix it.

Well mine is working just fine, I'm running XP on a vista right now, but I have a problem. How do I get folders over to the Moka virtual machine? You can't just drag the copied folder, and copy/paste doesn't work. I tried sharing the folder and opening on XP, but it didn't seem to share correctly because of the different configurations of folders varying from Vista to XP.

Thank you VERY much for the guide, it's working well besides this road block.

It worked for me copying from actualy desktop to Virtual.

As of VM-Ware Workstation 6.5 VMWare supports 3dacceleration.

If you have a quard core I sujest you give the Guest two of your cores, I don't know why but when I only gave it one, it used 100% of it all the time, got 5fps, and had grafic curruption. when i gave it two.. it normaly uses about 40% of its total, and gets 40fps.

I have now goten glider to run, and wow with 30+ fps, in Unity mode, using a huge task and only 512mb ram, Linux guests also work in unity mode.

Also confirmed this works in a linux host!!! gliding on linux?






FYI with 3gb of ram and a Q6600 I am able to run my VM and CoD4/GTA4!

I have the same problem. Every time I turn on WOW, it says it can't find a suitable display device. Can anyone help us?

Gliding on linux?

No. You're running a Windows VM in Linux and Gliding in Windows.

Glider will never ever work on Linux, wine only provides a wrapper for the windows api, however it does NOT emulate the MS Windows kernel and it's not suitable for loading windows device drivers into the linux kernel, you might get Glider to work without the Shadowdriver but installing the MS .Net Framework with wine is a pain.

For Linux folks, you could also try XEN to run Windows within a VM on a Linux host, it supports wrapping your Graphic Hardware into your VM and Windows should then be able to acess it with it's native drivers, however this requires a lot of work and if you've already got Windows on dual boot with Linux it's not worth the effort.

Actually with Wine you would have no reason to use the shadow driver, you have something much more powerful. Wine is open source, you could modify it to hide Glider entirely without the need for the shadow driver.

Glider is dead, long live Glider! The best is gone and the rest will follow, it's a sad day
