Would be nice with a OSx86 version for VirtualBox

Hi! :)

It would be nice if there would be a OSx86 version with VirtualBox in mind so it works directly with Mouse Integration, Network, Sound etc.
For example have a section in Customize specially for VB so people know what is needed to be able to get it to work in VB.

I have been succeeded to install Leopard in VB thanx to Black Trinitron
(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=207334)

But I'm still testing on what I need to get everything to work because im not 100% sure what I need in Customization.
Plus it looks different in each version of OSx86 (for example iATKOS, iDeneb, iPC etc.)

Thanx!

Hi & Welcome to InfiniteMac Community. :)

Well I am not completely sure about the hardware beeing emulated by VB - I am having something like one of the older Intel chipsets in mind from earlier tries with that software, but I am not sure 'bout that & it might variate depending on the VB version you are using.

It would be great if you could install this package http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=113219 in your Guest-OSx86 system (it works with 32-Bit Kernel only) & then post what's beeing returned, when you enter "lspci -nn" on the Terminal.
When we have this information & when you tell us what functions (Sound, etc) you are exactly missing, we might be able come up to you with a solution to you. :)

Hi and Thanx Imkantus! :)

This text I got with Leopard 10.5.6:

Sorry for the delay but I had to type it down manually.. %-)

* Network works when I have in bridged mode (but not NAT).
* Mouse Integration (from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=113219) does not work (because it is just for Snow Leopard!)
* Sound does not work (Device not found)
* OS feels slow but it seems to work good in general

But these stuff can probably work if I know what to choose in Customization..

Thanx!

Try to add this Kernel Extension it should work for Audio. :)

No idea about the other isssues from site - sorry....

I tried with this kext and another I found in another place, but still 'No output device found'.. :'(

Maybe with adding your Device ID 0x24158086 to kext content / Info.plist ?

Thanx for your inputs Imkantus,

Sorry for wrong info in the start, I wrote Snow Leopard but I meant just Leopard..
I have not tried your suggestion yet, but the kext you send link for is only for Snow Leopard right?

Now VirtualBox 3.2.0 have much better support for Mac OS X as guest! :)

hi, i tried to use iWorks on VirtualBox , but it doesn't work correctly .

No slides on Keynotes only write screen.

I think that it is bacause these isn't a Kext for video emulation on Vb.

Any Suggestions ??

Best Regards
