PB windowed screen within VM is this possible ?

Post by zoot33 »

Is it possible to run a PB app inside a vBox VM, when the PB app uses a windowed screen ?

I have tried this on an XP vBox client hosted on XP vBox host, but haven't had any luck yet.

Is this possible on any VM platform ?


Thanks.

Don't know about XP running an xp guest, I assume you installed the required addons?
It works on Ubuntu using virtual box though it's not 100% stable

Depending on your hardware this may work when using a recent version of VirtualBox, which has some hardware emulation / passthrough onboard. Do not expect superior performance or full compatibility.
