If it does pick it up, you’ll see in Virtual PC it shows the XP Pro disk is inserted: I also noticed that it doesn’t work with the. So overall, Im not sure why SST seems to not be supported very well (all blurry), and why in MST I cant get to 60hz and no HiDPI resolutions just below 3840. The first HiDPI starts at 1440x900 and below, which is way too big on the screen. Apple Care, I would expect that I can at. For me and many other users this is unacceptable behaviour and completely destroys the Mac experience.
Currently these isnt working anymore on Apple Silicon MacBooks. If it doesn’t work, unmount the image, close Virtual PC and try again. Everything is 60hz, but everything is blurry as well, mostly no HiDPI (according to SwitchResX). Since 2013 I use a custom resolution of 1920x1200 HiDPI on my MacBook Pro 13' with help of SwitchresX. iso images for Virtual PC, it will mount the disk image, and should appear in Virtual PC:
Next you’re prompted to install the install disk:Īt this mount if you double-click the first of the.
Select the ‘Install from a Virtual PC for Mac CD’ option: I’m installing on Virtual PC 7 on OS X 10.5 running on a dual G5 Power Mac. dmg) files instead of physical media is not so obvious, but here’s the steps that worked for me. The approach for installing from disk image (.iso.
Virtual PC 7 for Mac OS X comes with a preconfigured VM image for Windows XP. After rebooting, open the Display settings in System Prefs, and now under the Scaled options for the monitor in PBP mode you’ll see the new custom resolutions available:ġ920×2160 is almost too tiny to be readable for my eyes, but 1600×1800 is a comfortable resolution. Save from menu bar, then it prompts to reboot to become active. I also set a lower res to be more easily readable: To set a custom resolution of 1920 x 2160 – here I selected ‘Use simplified settings’ (which disabled a number of settings) and changed only the height/width and left all the other settings as default:īy default this set the vertical sync as 60hz and after rebooting the Display prefs didn’t pick this one up as a valid option. I’m running Mac OS X 10.11 on this Mac Pro, so I also need to follow these steps to temporarily disable SIP protection first in order to save the configs for the custom resolution. The way round this is to use SwitchResX to define a custom resolution. That’s definitely not a normal resolution, but the Nvidia web driver in my Mac Pro with a Nvidia 750ti doesn’t offer that resolution: From this Samsung post here here it mentions the side by side resolution for 2 BPB inputs is 1920 x 2160. I recently bought a 4K 60Hz capable monitor, and it has both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1. My 2015 MacBook Pro has no problem recognizing the unusual PBP resolution of half the width of a 4k display, but for my older 2008 Mac Pro that I use as my daily driver while I’m at my desk it stretches the resolution vertically which is not good. I recently just got a 4k Samsung monitor that supports Picture in Picture (PiP) and Picture By Picture (PBP) modes from multiple input sources, which is awesome because I tinker with a bunch of stuff on different machines at the same time.
