I've heard of sometimes having to manually designate it back with a Mac because it didn't automatically like it was suppose to.. so maybe this is just a Mac issue. OS X should reclaim RAM as the associated processes are killed and reaped. Not doing so would constitute a fundamental bug in the …

its.. automatic. its not like you run virtualbox and its a black hole that just eats memory. when you close an app the os relcaims the app memory.

Once designating a select amount of RAM to Virtual Box once closed all of that RAM will be reallocated to my host OS, right? Where do I go to confirm all RAM is properly available for use again on my main OS upon closing Virtual Box?

I'm a tad confused on when trying to use emulators of various consoles such as GBA/GameCube/Wii/PS2/Xbox/90's early 00's PC games whether I should be selecting OpenGL or DirectX when trying to use something such as DgVoodoo2/ReShade.

Yep, it will not interfere with your main OS at all. If you restart or your computer crashes, your main OS will come up again as usual and you'd have to start your virtual machine again. The OS in the VM would complain about being shut down unexpectedly but that's all that would happen. Windows 3.1 …

So am I understanding correctly that's it's basically just like running an app in windows 10 and when you're wanting to go back to using the main OS there is some sort of close option at the top of the virtual machine application options window that allows for it close the virtual machine as simply …

So compatibility mode of windows 98 sometimes just doesn't work? I've heard of installing virtual box but have never done anything like it.. how complex is it? I wouldn't be able to completely mess up my main OS system somehow could I?

I'm trying to install Madeline European Adventures from MyAbandonware but no matter what compatibility I set it at I still get "This app can't run on your PC To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher." Was hoping someone would have some things I could try in order to be able …

Thank you so so very much for all of your incredible work! This is truly an incredible surprise as I thought I would have to wait for the next official release which I've seen can be many many many months. I greatly appreciate you updated my and keeping on top of bugs like this so quickly!! Also …

Anyways, I saw that this bug would be fixed in the next update (WIP41) and am wondering if I should hold off playing them if it won't be too long. Am just wondering if there's any sort of ETA for the release of WIP41 since through looking at previous releases the timeframes are kind of all over the …

Through a google search I was directed here by the post made regarding older Nancy Drew games by Ithilin. It feels miraculously lucky to have this be such an extremely recent post and response since they aren't too popular and posts are pretty rare if not nonexistent outside of the official site. Im …
