Hi, guys!
As I promised I would make this tutorial once I get back to Estonia... here it is. Actually I had even more advanced version of this tutorial but since Firefox crashed for some awkward reason I lost 30 minutes worth of work.
First of all you need:
* VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build 156735
* Windows XP BLACK EDITION or any other OS you know how to work with
* at least 1gb RAM (you can do with less but then I recommend you spend only 256mb on your virtual machine ~ only make one!)
When downloading from torrent, don't forget to add those trackers:
When you have VMware installed, run it and this should appear:
Click on "New Virtual Machine" and a "New Virtual Machine Wizard" should appear.
Click on "typical" and then "next".
Then select "Installer disc image file (iso)" and select your Windows XP downloaded ISO file (links above).
Now insert any serial key you can find from the ISO disc readme files, or just use the one I found.
Password isn't needed though I put it "just in case"
Name your virtual machine.
I named the first box "Windows XP Professional" and the second one "Windows XP Professional 2"
Select 8.0gb as the size of your virtual machine. I doubt you need much more because my GTA SA installation is 4.73gb with SA-MP installed and loads of screenshots in the folder.
Then hit "next" and when all the details you see are correct, click "Finish". Your virtual machine will start. Ofcourse the OS must install a while and when I had 2 OSes installing my quadcore machine lagged quite hard (this lead to the previous Firefox crash).
In the screenshot I have booted up both my machines:
Then drag your GTA:SA files to the desktop of your virtual machine.
I'm ready to go playing!
Here is the result:
