Mac & Emulators (VBox + Sonomoa + EMU71)

[PeterP]

Hi, I recently upgraded my iMac Pro (18 core Intel Xeon W, 32 gb) to Sonoma 14.2.1 and re-installed VBox.

I then created a Windows10 Virtual System, on which I installed Christophs amazing EMU71b. However, it is entirely unusable. It is impossible to press the keys with the mouse as the lag and capture has maybe a 5% hit rate, and using the keyboard is even worse, maybe a 1% success rate.

I've allocated 4gb of memory and 2 processors, nested paging, Hyper-V Paravirtualization.

I tried it with and without shared folder, but the result is always the same.

I am wondering if anyone here on a mac system has experienced something similar now or in the past and if they can share how they were able to get to a high performant EMU71 environment on Mac.

Thank you!
