Create a Virtual Machine: How to create a custom Template (Type and Version)

Post by martiniturbide »

Hi

When you create a new VM on VirtualBox you get the window that has the "Type and Version".

Is there some documentation on how to create you own "Version" to be listed there with some settings you choose?
I'm using ArcaOS (an OEM version of OS/2) and I want to try to create an updated "template" for the latest version 5.0.7.

Regards

I don't know of any documentation except the VirtualBox source code: Global::sOSTypes[]. Also see How to contribute.

Ohhh. It is hard coded, I thought it was a configuration file.
Thanks for the pointer.
