Hi Raiders,
first, I have to admit I'm surprised that any DirectX games run on VmWare. Last time I checked they said, they had no plans to support Direct3D, and only limited support for DirectDraw.
As far as Tombraider 1 is concerned glide is not a problem, but sound (dma) is. Now who would play without sound?
Wine has had support for DirectX 5 for some time, and the readme claims success on Tombraider 2, but since I have installed DirectX 6.1, I was out of luck, when I tried to check it out.
The only success story I can offer is running the glide-version of Unreal under Wine.
regards Pete
