    Great video. I didn't want to pay for parallels anymore. I didn't use it enough to justify the yearly cost. Also in case anyone doesn't know, if you had already used parallels or have it installed you can take the Windows 11 Arm ISO from parallels and use it in fusion. Only thing I had to do during the OOBE was to run the command to skip network check since it hung there. After you get pass that your all good. Install vmware tools and your'e good to go. No need to build the ISO.

    It's worth noting that Windows ARM edition won't run a LOT of your favourite programs. Parallels still has a massive edge by using Rosetta natively to translate x86 to ARM, that lets you run nearly every Windows app (except high-end games). So I'll wait until VMWare produces something closer to Parallelsm because the whole reason to run a VM is to have something as close as possible to x64 Windows (for me). It's good to see progress though.

  • @DavidAlsh
    @DavidAlsh ปีที่แล้ว +26

    This is actually very impressive. Normally hardware must be made available to the VM through either sharing or passthrough.
    CPUs offer sharing. This means the host and VM can use the same CPU directly without overhead but both sides need drivers - which they pretty much always do for CPUs.
    Passthrough completely unplugs a device from the host and plugs it into the guest this means either the VM uses the GPU or the host, but not both. This is how we do VM based GPU stuff today and normally you need two GPUs for this, one for the guest and one for the host, and you need GPU drivers. This is because GPUs don't support "virtualization technology" like CPUs do.
    In the case where you want to share a GPU but don't have access to hardware sharing and can't use passthrough because you only have 1 GPU - you do what parallels does.
    That is; create a fake GPU in the guest, write a custom driver for that GPU then translate calls to the virtual card across into the host. This isn't as fast as hardware enabled sharing, but it works. Virtio on Linux is another example of this and now it seems VMware are making their own implementation!

    • @spiderbite7849
      @spiderbite7849 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is 'creating a fake GPU' the same implementation used by Parallels?

    • @DavidAlsh
      @DavidAlsh ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@spiderbite7849 correct, yes. The guest (Windows VM) sees the custom "Parallels" GPU. When the GPU is given instructions (via their custom driver), parallels forwards the instructions to the real GPU on the host, which maps to the equivalent commands for that host GPU.
      This system is great for allowing VMs to use GPU acceleration on any host GPU, as long as the host side can map correctly. Both Nvidia and AMD make this very hard.
      This is called paravirtualization and it's super impressive that VMWare are doing it and offering it for free

    If you're just looking to run Minecraft Bedrock on Mac there's a launcher that emulates the Android version of Bedrock and runs very well. It's made for both Linux and Mac and runs really great on my M3 MacBook Pro. It uses Bluestacks if I'm not mistaken and all you need is to have purchased the Android version of Minecraft on the Google Play Store and then you just log into your Google account when you open the launcher and you'll be able to download the latest version of the game.
    Super easy to set up and runs probably better than the Windows version since Android is more efficient (to emulate).

    The windows x86 emulation on arm is actually notoriously bad. I suspect no matter how much parallels or even vmware improve, they can't control that. Windows hasn't invested nearly as much into their translation layer as apple did in rosetta 2 (cause they didn't really have to. arm isn't replacing x86 any time soon in that market share). This is a neat trick to run some windows software that isn't well suited for game porting toolkit or the like, but gaming, it'll never compete with wine based solution until windows improves x86 on arm emulation in windows.

    Do you think it’s possible to use Game Porting Toolkit or Crossover to enable GPU rendering in pro 3D software like Maya? Maya got ported to Apple Silicon recently, but the Arnold render engine only supports CPU rendering on macOS. I’m sure it would be far from as fast as native support, but I imagine it might still beat out CPU rendering. I have no idea what’s possible though, I’m just curious. The difference between a game and other software is kind of a made up distinction, isn’t it?

    • @Freshbott2
      @Freshbott2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The toolkit is for DirectX only. Unfortunately render engines are usually proprietary and not realtime graphics APIs, although Blender does support Metal based rendering and DX12 does support raytracing. I'd recommend, and I'm not saying this to be a smarty and I'm not even saying it because of Mac support, but if you haven't developed your setup/workflow around Maya yet I wouldn't even bother and just go Blender instead 🙃

Same happened to me on Intel Macs with VMWare Fusion. 8 bit color is needed for Hardware mode on Grand Prix 3, otherwise I can only run the game in Software mode (poor graphics). Other than that, games like Grand Prix 4 runs well. Parallels let me run both games just fine and buttery smooth.
