I've been playing around with Hourglass a bit lately and after trying it in both Virtualbox and VMWare, I've come to the conclusion that VMWare's DirectX support must be significantly better than Virtualbox's as I've had a LOT less random issues with Hourglass in VMware over Virtualbox. Has anyone else had this experience as well?

Yes, I use VMWare for every TAS I make. From Windows 8 and 10 into a XP VM it always runs as expected for me. Haven't heard of people having much success with the other virtual machine software out there.

Yoooo! TASing the Undertale demo? I tried it in VBox, and the only issues I ran into were severe slowdowns. I'm not sure if it's related or not, tho

All games I ever tried with hourglass in Virtualbox failed. Tyler, Reproduction Man, Warpath, ... Host - Windows 7 64bit Guest - Windows XP SP3 Maybe I'll try that VMware thing later. Or I ask you a favor and try those games for me. I would appreciate it. https://archive.org/details/ReproductionMan_1020 https://archive.org/details/Tyler_1020

VirtualBox's DirectX support is experimental and you have to dig to actually activate it.
