VirtualBox has special software that can be installed inside Windows, Linux and Solaris virtual machines to improve performance and make integration much more seamless. Guest Additions for Windows, Linux and Solaris. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. mpack Site Moderator Posts: 38310 Joined: 4.VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. The second link was for some kind of third party package manager for MacOS. The third of your links is about virtualizing the ARM port of Windows 10, so nothing to do with emulating x86. Of your three links only the first seems semi-relevant, though even there they mention that emulation gives lesser performance, plus they don't claim to be the developers. I'd be surprised if the devs have much interest in CPU emulation projects since, as stated, VirtualBox is not an emulator. It should have been very obvious that, being a hypervisor and not a CPU emulator, VirtualBox requires an x86 CPU. I myself don't accept any share of the blame for your lack of research. To be honest, I would not have bought a Macbook with M1 if I knew that Rosetta does not work with VirtualBox and I cannot run any x86 installation anymore on it. Parallels provide an engine on which an x86/圆4 VM can be run Chis Ideas wrote:It is really bad that currently neither Virtualbox, nor e.g.
