Hey Jeff, best to put this question to the VBox guys. Maybe there’s some other way to achieve a similar effect.

Hi all,

I tried using this on Mac OS X (Lion) but I guess it turns out that VBoxSDL is not available on OS X. Is there a way to install it, or do I have to resort to the rest of the explanation above?

Thanks

Thanks, I didn’t know about GameRanger! Gotta try it sometime.

It’s easier to play through GameRanger rather than hamachi, and it works with VirtualBox.

Artem,
I found out how to do it with VBoxSDL.
First you must run the command “$ VBoxSDL –detecthostkey”, and press your preferred hostkey. VBoxSDL will not remember the one you’ve set up in VBoxOSL.
The command will reply by something like “–hostkey 312 0″ witch you must add when you start up the machine: “$ VBoxSDL –hostkey 319 0 -vm “Windows 7″”. The last string is the name of the machine.
When the machine starts up, you can press hostkey + F to toggle fullscreen, this time with stretching.

Artem,

some days ago I actually discovered a better method for the resolution problem. Use `VBoxSDL’, which comes with VirtualBox, to start your virtual machine. VBoxSDL is capable of doing proper fullscreen scaling.

Could you please go into full detail about resolution? It seems to be the solution of my problem, but I didn’t get how to make it.
