(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.
- SwellJoe 17y agoThis 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.
