Is there anything like a QEMU monitor for VB?

Post by accessory »

Hi:

I have used QEMU and like its monitor function. In the QEMU monitor, I can use cmd like "x /10hx 0x01231234" to view the physical memory of the VM. I just wonder if the virtual box has the similar function? If yes, how to invoke it? I just tried alt+ctrl+2 (which is the hot key on qemu), but it does not work on my virtual box 3.0 on Windows. If only Linux host supports that function, I can use Linux host without a problem.

Thanks.

Sorry, that feature isn't available. I haven't seen or heard about it anyway, and I'm sure that I would after spending more than a year with the product and on this forum ;).

I see. Thanks. I guess I can still hack into the VB source code to find it out, since it is Open sourced. I am just lazy :wink:
