How do I edit the VRAM in VMWare Workstation 12?

Question

I have a Windows 98 Virtual Machine that I want to increase the amount of VRAM in it.

The problem is, whenever I edit the .vmx file it never notices the changes and will never let me go above 4MB VRAM. How do I do this?

I assume you're talking about the svga.vramSize = 134348800 setting documented here, right?

According to some other forums I've seen, you may have to set it to a value that is a multiple of 65536.

So, 128MB would be svga.vramSize = 134348800, and 1GB would be svga.vramSize = 1073741824.
