Is virtualbox not suitable to run any windows games in it?

I tried undertale, TIS100, some touhou thing - none of them worked. The only thing I can get running is RPG maker games.

Am I just having really bad luck? Is it stupid to want to play gamen inside a vm on linux rather than having the inconvenience of rebooting into windows to do it? Otherwise is there a guide which would let me get things like this up and running?

I'd like to hear any games you do play with it and what win version and if you needed any hacks to get it running. Cheers.

iirc virtualbox doesn't support 3d acceleration, even tho it has the checkbox, at least in version 4, I don't know about the v 5

>>51664917
I haven't tried any under wine,
I guess I'm paranoid by I don't know how to properly contain or sandbox wine whereas a virtual machine seems to give pretty decent security without a lot of trouble.

Anyone share some experiences

Tis 100 has a native, working Linux port.

Virtualbox is shit tier all around.
Best for gaymen is kvm or xen with a pci graphics card passed into a Windows vm


VMware can deliver decentish performance in Windows vm without any pass-through

Not sure how hyper-v performs but in my personal use it's been slow graphically

I'm so fucking sick of faggots like you saying you can't play games without being a fucking child.

Pleasure isn't a childish or immature thing. People don't live to work all day, come home, and immediately sleep, then to wake up the next day and repeat the cycle. Life isn't about your productivity, or what you do for others. You live first and foremost for your fucking self and only then do you contribute what you want.

Playing games for pleasure isn't something that is to be shunned. It's just another way of gratifying oneself. You're not superior to OP for not playing games, you insufferable fucker. You're not superior for liking winetasting or film or reading for pleasure instead of gaming for pleasure.

Fuck the fuck off with your elitist bullshit.

>>51664848
if your hardware supports it you could try VGA passthrough using VT-d or AMD's equivalent, that way you'd get proper hardware acceleration. But well, you need the hardware for it, and it requires you to dedicate an entire monitor for the purpose, and the graphics card will not be usable under linux etc.

Why would you run undertale and TIS-100 in VirtualBox? They both have Linux and OS X binaries available

>>51666394
I just got the windows versions I dunno..

>>51666402
Well Undertale at least works perfectly in wine. I don't know about TIS-100 but I imagine it does too.

You're trying to fix problems you wouldn't have if you just used the right tools for the job.
