ARMA Dedicated in a VM
I've been trying to setup a dedicated ARMA (Armed Assault) server in a Virtual Machine. I made the mistake of attempting to use MS Virtual PC 2007 initially. ARMA installed and then I went through the labourious 1.5 GB worth of patching (up to v 1.08) ok in Virtual PC, but running the dedicated server executable generated an error that I was running an unsupported operating system. I think this is because the disks in Virtual PC 2007 are attached as SCSI disks and it causes a Securom issue (Grrrr!).
Installing, patching and executing the ARMA dedicated server in VMWare Server 1.0.5 presented no problems. VMWare presents the disks as IDE, this is what makes me think it is Securom that is causing the problem.

Hi Thommo, I'm an Aussie gamer. I saw on your blog that you have TrackIR- would you be able to tell me if you can also move the mouse pointer on the desktop with it? ie use it as a mouse as well as for gaming?
GDay cav, yes you can use the TrackIr as the mouse. There is a separate executable called TIRMouse.exe located in the TRACKIR4 folder in c:\program files\naturalpoint\trackir4. After you run this executable you can used the Trackir to control the mouse, but there is no button input. You'd have to use a key or footpedal to send the mouse press.
Thanks Thommo. Hopefully I can use it for work as well as shootin' stuff :)
