MapleStory in VM?
I'm wanting to move back over to a Linux based system and frankly, dualbooting is often a pain in the butt. Is there a way I can run maple in a VM so that I can move my desktop back to Linux? Last time I tried, it didn't exactly work well

I'm using VMWare with an i7, GTX 980, and 32gm ram computer. The framerate is still very bad no matter how much power I give the VM. I don't think the creators of VMWare had online gaming in mind, so it wasn't optimized for it.
Those specs are decent and should run the game good enough (but like I said I didn't get good results using a GTX770 and i5 4570), Vmware isn't the only software that can be used, it's just the most common, so maybe Oracle will give better results but I never personally tried it.
And yes Maple is quite buggy, mostly due to the shitty anti-cheat system.
I actually tried the registry edit before, I had a good deal of trouble with it. My computer should be able to run it fairly well though, it's 12 gigs of ram, 6 cores of 3.5ghz, with a radion r9 270x. The problem is that Maple is a butt about most things.
EDIT: I tried it with Oracle actually, is the VMWare program actually important for this?
You can make MS work on VMware, but you have to bypass the system check by modifying your registries (won't work at all otherwise). I tried a few months ago and while you can do basic tasks like buffing your main or trading items with mules, the framerate is painfully low (10 fps or so) even when I assigned the VM 6GB of RAM, 2 cpu cores and 1GB of video memory. Even more demanding games play better than that.
