shame it doesn't work in VMWare.

I tried both isos, the 7MB and 77MB one and tweaked a little bit with the settings but I just get a black screen, it doesn't seem to boot at all.

If anyone does manage to get it going could you please post some instructions? Thanks.

I think there are Oberon applications for Linux and Windows, one of the article's links goes to an ETH page with downloads for these. Other than that, you can try running it in Parallels. It didn't work in VMWare on my system, either, but the trial version of Parallels ran it just fine.

I tried out the Windows version. All you have to do is extract the 2 system archives into a folder somewhere on your disk and run the executable. It looks like you get the whole environment, with the ability to create multiple document windows. I haven't played with it further though, so I'm not sure how it would differ from running it right on the hardware.

Unfortunately I can't try Parallels (again). I already tried their demo version a while ago when I was trying to decide whether to purchase VMWare or Parallels.

It seems possible though to get it running with VMWare so I'll do some further investigation.

I got it to run in VMWare. Well, boot anyway, right out of the "box." There wasn't sound or any peripherals support, but there was enough working to play.

ok good to know. I'm going to take another look.
