    I've confirmed this also works with Fusion v3.1.

    On Linux, you can make this the default BIOS by editing /etc/vmware/config and place the line there. This way, you don't have to edit every vmx to get things rolling. Maybe Fusion has a default config file somewhere, too.

    Yes, it is possible. It is good idea to look the config file in /Library or /Applications folder. Sorry, I don't remember the exact path though.

    It's not included in executable any more but rather loaded from a file from: /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/roms/
