Works with VMware Player 12.5.9 (well) and VirtualBox 5.2.44 (barely)

OS: Windows 7 Pro

Tested on this system because VMware 12.5.9 was the last version to work on an Intel Core 2 class CPU and VirtualBox 6.1.x and later won't run on Windows 7 (the installer doesn't fail gracefully with a warning, it causes a BSoD)

VMware 12.5.9: Apart from SoftGPU falsely reporting a bad PCI Bus (just ignore the error message), there were no issues. OpenGL is SVGA3D at around 60fps.

VirtualBox 5.2.44: It works, but only just, OpenGL is llvmpipe at 9fps. Also the AC97 audio driver doesn't work (continually repeats the startup sound), you have to use SoundBlaster 16 with no acceleration.
