Post by Gan »

Hello guys,

And when i try to play Starcraft Broodwar ( 640x480 ) virtual box doesnt change to fullscreen. Of course i tried strg + f and changed my solution.
I dont know what to do :(

Thats a fault of VirtualBox and normal. VirtualBox can't change your real resolution if you go in fullscreen mode. You have to do it manually, or live with that.
Other products can change your resolution, for example QEMU(even with KQEMU/KVM acceleration module). But QEMU is s bit slower than VirtualBox.
