I'm trying to get a group together for some gaming, however some need to run FGII from a Windows Guest in virtualbox. This has the known problem of requiring direct3d acceleration.

This evening I found swiftshader from transgaming

https://www.transgaming.com/products/swiftshader/

a software renderer for direct3d. I got the demo and just drop the dll's in the FGII demo folder and now it runs.

The dice animation is really slow and there is transgaming logo in the bottom left corner, but hey it works!

Thought others here might be interested.

It worked for me in Virtualbox, but not in Wine. Unfortunately, it was really realllly slow in vbox...
