System Requirements to install Workstation Player / Workstation Pro: The hardware and Host Operating Systems requirements for these two virtualization applications are the same. On the other hand, VMware Workstation Pro excels as a feature-rich and sophisticated solution, designed for professionals and businesses to create, manage, and optimize virtual environments with precision and efficiency. VMware Workstation Player serves as a user-friendly and non-commercial virtualization tool, providing a convenient platform for individuals to explore and experiment with virtual machines. ![]() ![]() Both applications operate seamlessly atop Windows or Linux host Operating Systems, delivering unparalleled performance and versatility. VMware Workstation Player offers a cost-free option for virtualization, while VMware Workstation Pro requires a license, catering to more advanced and professional needs. It would be great to see improvements in this area in the future.VMware Workstation Player and VMware Workstation Pro stand as powerful virtualization applications, enriching the computing experience for users on their desktops or laptops. And, game manufacturers are already or have already been dropping support for older games. Running as in Compatibility tab in Windows 7 is not going to cut it, and it doesn't work every time. I can't even play Sims 2 or Sim City 3000 on my computer anymore because of compatibility issues with Windows 7. Final Fantasy XI is a game from 2004 and if Square-Enix begins to drop support for it for future OSes, I'll most likely have to turn to virtualisation to play them. Games such as Mabinogi and Grand Chase have issues with Windows 7's UAC and increased security because of the GameGuard and nProtect features those games have. The reason I'm asking is because as the older games get older and older, and older OSes lose their support, it's going to be increasingly difficult to run an old game as it did on the older hardware. Is there any possibility to have both VMware Fusion and Workstation to work the same way? However, how come one game works in VMware Fusion (Mac) and doesn't work in the other for PC, VMware Workstation? Why is that? They're both virtualisation products from the same company. ![]() Now, what makes me curious is this: My friend on Mac OSX (10.6.2) and using VMware Fusion, he has very little problems running PlayOnline Viewer and its linked game, Final Fantasy XI through Windows XP (Guest OS). It got worst by VMware 7.0 where PlayOnline Viewer only shows a black screen in the window. Unfortunately, for another 3D game, Final Fantasy XI, without AGP Texture Acceleration, PlayOnline Viewer is very sluggish and doesn't perform well. By going to 7.0, the 3D performance has improved a lot and I'm happy for that. In 6.5.3, 3D performance was sluggish in certain games like Mabinogi and Grand Chase. (I'll expand on this in the next question.)Įver since updating from VMware Workstation 6.5.3 to VMware 7.0, I have noticed a good and a bad since the upgrade. What are the differences between VMware Workstation (PC) and VMware Fusion (Mac)?
