Question

Does anybody know how to save any games by using VirtualBox?

Jan 11, 2014 12:00PM PST

Greetings everybody. I was wondering does anybody know how to save any games by using VirtualBox (link right here: www.virtualbox.org)? Because I don't know how to use VirtualBox so that I could save those games by using VirtualBox and continue playing later on. And I want to save those games by using VirtualBox. If anybody know how to save those games by using VirtualBox then please let me know.

Virtualbox doesn't help to save games. All it does is to allow you to run the game in another OS than you installed on your PC (and, indeed, save it in that other OS, just like you did if you installed it as your main OS).
So if you know how to save games in your own OS, you also know how save it in the OS running in the box.

One possibly issue: the virtual box might have a virtual videocard which isn't powerful enough to actually play your game the way you like. But saving it is surely possible.

By the way, why do you think you need to go virtual?

Um so that it would be easy for me to save games by using VirtualBox if some games don't required saving. That is all I can say. Where could I contact VirtualBox for customer support if I need help of how to use VirtualBox?

Since it's free, you're not a customer and there is no customer support at https://www.virtualbox.org/
But they have their own community.
