virtualbox supports Direct3D

[Gertos]

I have just noticed that virtualbox supports Direct3D since 2 Month.
( )

VirtualBox 3.0.0 (released 2009-06-30)

Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental; see chapter 4.8 of the user manual)
Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests

Has anybody tried this with Rappelz yet?

Rappelz under VMWare is very slow and maybe this software works better

does gameguard kill virtualbox when rappelz is started at the host like it does with vmware?

When a VM client is running (xp client) and i start Rappelz on the host (vista x64) the running client is terminated with the error "VMX not working anymore" as soon as gameguard is loaded in the Host

hello,
i tried this before but didn't work smoothly by default in VB the 3D Support is enabled ,
i tried this on linux but the result was horrible , on PC Dual Core 2.6/2M Cash 4GB Rams,
the game start but the char barely move ,
on windows it start on the char move but was delay duo lack off GFX rendering some times end with crash for VB,
also tried the VMWare i heared there is new feature on it allow you to set the default memory for display card to what ever you like based on Size of Rams ,
but ended with nothing , now trying to test the new feature on VMWare 7 testing and reporting after finish

hi guys,
i also tried using vm ware on my 64-bit xp and the client inside vm ware is 32-bit xp i'm using dual core procie with 2gb of ram and 9400gt nvidia graphic card. i tried to make the client run in lowest settings possible and it turns out to be good for a while. It follows and buff me in my grindding spot and turns out to be ok. but after using it for a couple of minutes the rappelz running inside vm ware freezes and crashed. i'll try using 2- 64bit or 2 32-bit on my system. wish me luck ^^
