  Aw, I wish branching snapshots were among the new features[1]. [1] http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18818&start=0 http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18818&... Edit: URL. I seem to have managed to pick up my Aquamacs' kill ring during cmd-tab switching. Interesting.

  • spicyj 17y ago
    Since it's not mentioned, I'd assume not.

    That don't seem to be something I'll write about on a release note... would you?

  * Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental) YAY, FINALLY! I <3 you vbox devs. I don't know how long I've been waiting for this to get implemented (8 - 14 months?); hell I'd either be willing to checkout the source code and spend some time in Java to help [well, maybe not help but pretend to] develop this feature until it can pass off as a builtin feature for future stable releases.

    This is a problem. Because I run Linux all the time, and Wine can't run any games I like very well, I don't have any temptation to stop work to play a game. If VirtualBox can actually play those games (most of which aren't particularly modern or requiring a lot of 3D horsepower), then I could be in trouble.

    Java? There isn't any Java in VBox. VBox is almost entirely C/C++. ~JW

  They still don't have an easy option to forward all your bios readings to the virtual machine to make it simple for windows xp oem to authenticate. Any of you know a good reference for this? The stuff on their faqs does not help.
