MAC OS X Host: Enable hardware TnL (Windows 7)

Post by iornface »

I want to install a game from Steam for windows on my MAC using VirtualBox. The game (Tron 2.0) requires that the Windows "computers" have DirectX 9a (which I think I installed correctly), and a video card that supports hardware TnL (T&L). The game is giving me a error message that I do not have one or both of these (I assume it is the hardware TnL. What can I do to get Tron 2.0 to run on my windows 7 computer in Virtualbox?

Thanks in advance!
Kindest regards to all.

There is nothing you can do if a game won't run with the guest additions installed. Virtual machines are not suited for gaming for any number of reasons. One is they use virtual graphics which don't support all the features or power of a physical graphics card.
