MU> v6.1.22 still works perfectly in macOS 10.11 and I can't see any different requirement on their website. Instead, I see a neat improvement in speed since 6.1.20. I'm using it exclusively with Android-x86 guest, so of course it's a lot slower than a real Android, but it's definitely usable. Last year I've tried it with MacOS guests and it was absolutely pitiful compared to VMware Fusion.

Finally I found the solution to get the full screen with Linux, there is still the problem of installing it on Mac (is there anyone who knows the solution?). I'm fine with Windows. Great program ...

Virtualbox is pretty darned awesome. I've used it on both Windows and Mac host systems, to run both windows and Mac client systems. It's really been a life saver for allowing clients to continue to use outdated -- but irreplaceable -- software. Yes it does have quirks and bugs. But they are few and far between in my experience. If all you're doing is running one important outdated app, this will probably do the trick. If it doesn't, then I recommend VMWare Fusion which is less than $100.

Has anyone tried VirtualBox 6 on a 5K iMac? The one main reason I will not use VB over a commercial product such as VMware Fusion is because VirtualBpx has never played nicely with the 5K retina display. Guest graphics run extremely slow, and other glitches such dragging the guest window causes desktop loss of the guest as in the graphics didn't re-draw correct. I'm mainly talking version 5X here, but wanted to find out if anyone has used version 6 and experienced better performance. I thought I would ask and get feedback first before downloading it and not having it work any better. Thanks.
