OS2 on emulation machine

<< < (2/2)

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

I tried to document something about running OS/2 as a virtual machine guest on the OS2World Wiki:
https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Virtual_Machines

Even that it works fine, but doubts had always been what configuration and driver will perform better on a Virtual Machine.
For example, if we grab ArcaOS 5.0.3 running as guest on VirtualBox 6.0 (Windows host):
- What is better for sound? - Sound Blaster, ICH AC97 or Intel HD Audio, and which driver?
- Which is better for Networking?

Regards

Also, now VirtualBox 6.0 gives you some different options for Video adapters. For the moment VboxVGA and VboxSVGA had worked for me, but no idea which one gives better performance.

Regards

by now I haven't seen changes in my OS2 W4.52 guest machine with this feature, meaning no new setting is appearing both in OS2 screen resolution panel and in the Vbox running machine menu.  Have tried all graphic card modes.
The only improvement obtained dealing with graphic resolution till now is "the custom resolution" that can be added in VBoxManage by the setextradata command line, also learned in this community  :)
