Description
I am trying to install Windows 98 as a guest in MacOS 10.15.2. The screen is HighDPI, so by default I can't see a thing because the 640x480 virtual screen is way to small (ca. 7 x 5.5 cm). Full screen mode doesn't change anything, the 7x5.5cm window is just in the center of a large black screen.
"Scaled Mode" does make the window bigger, so this is ok. However, as soon as the screen is scaled up, the mouse becomes unusable. It lags extremely, and overshoots when stopped.
Obviously, there is no guest support even after Windows 98 is installed.
