Virtual PC Difficulties

Hey, folks. I'm one of those pitiful mac users who desperately wants to play Sam and Max Season 1. My mac is pre-intell, so I can't boot up on windows for real, but I figured I might be able to get it to work on my copy of Virtual PC (Windows XP).

Unfortunately, I can only allocate up to 16MB of video RAM on any virtual machine. I know that this is half of the required amount.

My problem is that the demo refuses to start up, and gives me some big long error code that means nothing to my brain. Is the crash-upon-startup likely to be because of my lack of video memory? Or is it some other problem?

I'll totally buy the whole season if I can get it to work on this computer.

    I think we require minimum 32mb video memory, as well as full 3D support through DirectX 8/9. I don't know if Virtual PC can handle that, sadly.

    Well, it was worth a try, and now I know. I guess I'll be waiting until a) you guys come out with a Mac port (YES PLEASE), b) VPC stops sucking so hard, or c) I can afford a new computer of some kind.

    Thanks
