This has probably been asked countless times but... Parallels on Mac?

I don't have my XP running in slow mo though?? o.o rip.

 

@Cyndy @dingus @jmmainvi

Just an update, I've managed to get Parallels up and running with the Windows XP .iso provided in @Tim's guide Gonna go grab dinner first but a couple of questions first,

1. Edited: I'd like to use my Parallels just for playing Royals and having one Internet browser, to remove the clutter from there. I'm currently looking at my Sharing settings where we can customize shared folders, what is the minimal number of folders I should be sharing? Note that my XP .iso is only in my Mac memory.

2. For fellow Parallels users, did you guys just install the Windows client directly, or go through the process in Tim's guide and create a Virtual Machine on Parallels itself for some Windows-ception? Edit: dug this out from Tim's guide's thread

Does this mean VMWare is actually redundant now that I've got Parallels installed?

Thanks

 

Get skype boi. :c

EDIT:
1.I share Home Folders.
2.I made a new virtual machine. I did not follow Tim's Guide because I've done this plenty of time before to know how to create a new one on my own.

I had VMWare previously, although I did not play Maple on it, I had my Window iso(s) crashing all the time. Just stick to parallel.

 

Posted the following under "Technical Help" forum but that subforum doesn't seem to get much exposure (only 5 viewed the thread after more than a week haha) so I decided to shift this here :

Hopefully someone more tech savvy can shed some light on this! Meanwhile thanks for all the help given here thus far, I just went on my first proper Zak run and will attempt HT tonight!

 

Google dxwn.dll problem, also for new windows, you could try installing another xp.

 

I still dont understand why you keep bringing up wanting to run VMware on parallels. It's just a waste of resources. Parallels IS a virtual machine and VMware IS a virtual machine. The only difference is parallels is a specific VM designed to run windows on OS X. Forget that VMware exists. If anything, I would think you would want to install/run another parallels, and just simultaneously operate two VMs that way, but I've never needed to do that so I'm not going to be much (any) help. In this case, you wouldn't need DXwnd anyway, as you can just run the VMs themselves in windowed mode, but the maple clients within them full screen.

Anyway, you don't need to use parallels for krexel (just GFX a couple times during the fight and you'll be fine) so carry on with your normal OS X multiclienting.

 

Ah, didn't know it was possible to run 2 Parallels together, that makes things a lot easier, thank you @Cyndy & @jmmainvi!
