virtualbox.org

I know that this is a question that a developer would ask, but I'm trying to get a feeling of how outdated I am with my computer. Things are quite supported so far, but a recent new addition to VBox (webcam passthrough) is not supported for my (understandably old) system. I could really make some serious use of this. So, how many of you (if any) are willing to make a "donation" to the VBox team (code, testing, actual money) to see if this feature can be implemented?

TIA, Socratis

Using 10.6.8 but just hit a wall. I love VB heaps, but if I can't use it, I just can't use it.

How do we go about kickstarting full fledge OS X support? As a Mac-based Net Admin, running up to date OS X servers as VirtualBox machines would be a dream & OS X Guest Extensions have been a long time coming... May be we could get those at least?

I would happily dedicate testing hours on OS X Beta or contribute to a kickstarter-type fund raising scheme.

I'm not saying that VirtualBox is not awesome. Just saying it could be even awesomer.

My primary machine is a OSX10.6.8 macbook. I would love to use it as a host, but I'm unable to start any VM whatsoever in it. I'm going to post a bug report tomorrow about the problem. If I could get VMs working under it, I'll be using it as a host.

Currently I am TRYING to use 10.6.8 as my host, with VB 4.3.2, but so far I can't get any guests to work.

If this were actual problem report, someone might be able to help you. As it is, all we can say is "that's too bad, it works for us".
