XNA 4.0

Post by spamme »

On a guest windows xp sp3 I have installed visual C# express 2010 with the XNA game studio 4.0. I have created a simple project and started it and XNA thrown the following error: "No suitable graphics card found. Could not find a Direct3d device that supports the XNA Framework Reach profile.". So I have enabled the 3d acceleration in the display tab of the preferences but it didn't change the result, XNA was still unable to find a Direct3D device.
Somebody knows if is possible to use the XNA game studio 4.0 in virtualbox?

You more than likely need to install the guest additions (in the guest) while in safe mode and select to install the 3D drivers.

Ok I have installed the guest addition with the DirectX support (experimental) and the VBox crash only by starting visual studio.

Safe Mode only when I have installed the guest addition.

OK, then there is nothing you can do. 3D is experimental. Not comparable to native access.
