It’s time to get our game on with NBA Inside 2000. Yeah, like that’s not going to cause confusion with another game franchise made by EA that goes by a very similar name. Like no one is going to get NBA Inside 2000 and NBA Live 2000 confused, right?
So anyway, NBA Inside 2000, and not NBA Live 2000, was developed by Microsoft Games as their answer to the other much more well-known franchise. On the whole, there isn’t that much to say. It’s basketball. You pick your team, and then you hit the court. With that mentioned, NBA Inside had very good graphics (for its time) and when it’s computer vs. computer, you could actually sit back and watch the game like if you’re watching it on TV. And as I Texan, I had to pick the San Antionio Spurs. This is just no debate. The game is running under software mode, which runs very well. Not really much of a surprise as VMware Player is a virtualizer which passes through to my main host processor, which is a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU with six cores and each one running at 4.2GHz. For an old game released in 1999, there really isn’t really going to be any performance issues.
This game for some reason didn’t like the VBox+SoftGPU+VBox setup, and 86Box would be too slow for a game like this. While I love 86Box, for games post 1998, 86Box just isn’t going to hold up.
VMware Player 17 is virtualizing a x86 multimedia PC with a single core processor (AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core Host with Each Core running at 4.2GHz), 3GB of RAM, and a VESA Compatible display with 3D Acceleration Enabled. Windows is running at the screen resolution of 800 by 600, 32-bit color depth. The VM also has a HD audio device, and an AMD PCnet NIC. Windows XP SP3 is installed with the Plus!98 “Inside My Computer” theme that was copied over from a Windows 98 installation.
