Hey! where are you?!!

Different search engines won't help if what you're looking for doesn't exist.

Use VMware or Virtualbox 6.0.x for 3D acceleration under XP.

^

vmware 3d drivers for winxp are better than those of virtualbox 6.x
(I tested both and both are crap)

those 3d drivers in vmware are outdated and lot of games don't work with it, so are usable only for some not very complex 3d games
such drivers are from 2014 or so ,and haven't been updated since, despiste new vmware versions> the 3d drivers for winxp are still the same crap from 2014

I did not find help on the Russian-language forums, so I will turn here.
In the latest version of VirtualBox 7.0.10, I managed to install the SoftGPU driver on a virtual machine with Windows 98, thereby forcing 3D acceleration to work there. Now I need a similar driver for Windows XP, but I just can’t find it either through Yandex, or through Google, or even through Bing. As I understand it, 5.2.44 (released July 14, 2020) is the latest version of virtualbox that runs 3d acceleration installed as a guest addition on Windows XP. But I decided to update my virtualbox so that it works more stable in Windows 10 22H2.
Is there a driver similar to the one from SoftGPU?

there is no descent winp 3d emulation right now, not in vmware or virtual box
if you want to run games in winxp you have to run the real thing, ie a new computer with a gfx card which support winxp, a good one is a geforce 970 or any other maxwell/kepler card
