Using Unity within virtualbox

Hi

I've read another post about the same subject but as it's an older, I thought since that Virtualbox had evolved that this may change the approach.

In fact, VB seems to integrate video acceleration. Altough I installed the last Directx 11 on the XP VM, unity3D send an error for DirectX 9 and Direct3D.

So : is it possible to have unity Working with Virtual Box ?

No, Unity will not work with VB. However it works with VMWare Fusion if you enable "Accelerate 3D Graphics". But be advised that you'll have a considerably loss of video performance compared with your host operating system.

Hi

I have mac osx running in vmware on windows 7 with the Accellerate 3D Graphics enabled, but unity crashes everytime it start, i only need this so i can build to the ipad or iphone, for the rest i build everything on windows and there everything works fine.

Could you give me some feedback if you guys have tried this yourselves?

I can confirm that a Unity project I built with Unity 3.5.1f2 runs on Windows XP SP3 in VirtualBox 4.1.16.

My VM has 2D and 3D acceleration enabled, and I installed the experimental Direct3D Support, but otherwise all VM settings are defaults.
