Hey folks, long time no see. I see the forum is awash with people still playing these classic games.
As my old computer has long ago hit the skids, I am in the process of trying to get at least IWD + HoW up and running for a nostalgic jaunt through the game. In the meantime, technology has long ago outrun my knowledge and I am also now using a Mac instead of a PC. I have acquired Parallels desktop and an old copy of XP. Parallels allows the use of a virtual machine on a Mac that can run a Windows OS. Are there any tech or other issues I should know about with this setup when running/playing IWD? I saw something in another thread about running IWD in Windows XP compatibility mode, is this something I ought to be doing, or does running it on a VM (albeit with XP as the OS) solve any issues with that? If I have to run it in compatibility mode, how would I go about doing that?
Also, I am seeking to run this in fullscreen mode, but a quick look shows that the picture is awfully small - presumably some fiddling with graphics ought to fix this, but can anyone save me a few minutes and let me know how to optimize my gameplay?
Cheers!
