Well, yes it does software 3D quite smoothly as it runs FS98 in software mode. Another important thing to be aware of in VMware, it tends to suck up all your CPU so the pc uses over 90% processor. At least for me, and with most programs I have run in VMware Win98. This is a drawback, and if the game does not have a frame limiter it seems VMware will throw as much resources as possible at it. I solved this by setting power to the CPU to 50% in my host OS (Win 10), but it gets tiresome in the long run.
By the way, have you tried the GOG version of SH2? That runs flawlessy for me on all OS I have tried, including Win10. They have a way of making things work. I could not get the stock version to run right in Win10.
