VBoxManage setextradata “Android” “CustomVideoMode1” “540x96

[Steveeb]

When I run VBoxManage setextradata “vm2mikey” “CustomVideoMode1” “540x960x16” I get cannot find registered machine error

I am trying to have vm run in portrait mode and its not working.

I added C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox and C:\Users\USERNAME\VirtualBox VMs to path

Try this instead without any quotes for the VM name:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata vm2mikey "CustomVideoMode1" "540x960x16"

I did, got no error msg, but when android boots up it is still not in portrait mode. when i start my game it changes direction.

Well AFAIK this requires the guest additions which are not available on Android since it is not a supported guest, so I did not expect it to work.
