Gaming in a Virtual box is a bad idea. You wont have the great 3D support that you desire and applications that require a lot of resources will lag. Some games will probably work, like minecraft and minesweeper. But running heavy programs like Battlefield, Skyrim and similar will not work. The reason for this is that you are basically running two operating systems within each other and the one you will be emulating will be limited to a small portion of that computers resources.
A solution to this problem is dual boot. For example you have one partition with Linux where you are all serious and stuff and one partition with windows for gaming.
I had this setup on my laptop for several years it works great. There are instructions in the Ubuntu installer for how you install with a dual boot setup.
The easiest is to install Windows first and then install Ubuntu. Personally, I have mixed results running games in Virtualbox. But I can play some of my favorites. You might want to look at something called Kainy. This is a remote desktop implementation that is specifically for gaming.
It sounds like having a Windows PC on your network to run the games might be OK, if you play the game from where you wanted. Kainy has a server for Windows, and clients for a number of OS, and game systems. They don't have a server for Linux, though. I think the emulation argument is a bit exaggerated. Windows is executing with the same processor it expects, no added expense there. VirtualBox mediates Windows hardware calls, and there may be some overhead.
The big problem is that VirtualBox is not built for gaming, supporting 3D graphics is not a priority. Nonetheless, if you have an older game that is not requiring graphics support beyond what VirtualBox has, I don't see why you wouldn't go ahead and run it there.
There's a bunch of answers here which tell you that running games over virtualised hardware is a bad idea, and won't get you good performance for gaming. So don't do that. I'm not sure about virtualbox, but I've seen people talk about considerable success by having hardware dedicated to the virtual machine, albeit what I've seen mostly concerned using Xen or VMWare. Specifically, they use a separate graphics card and sound card, and a dedicated disk partition.
The linux system likely won't even have drivers for the hardware that is used by your windows gaming VM, and certainly won't connect to them. Problems seem to be more with the sound than the graphics. I haven't gone down this road myself, so I won't try to specifics of how you'd set this up. TBH, for the time it'd take to get this running well unless I had a very specific recipe to follow , I think I'd rather put a separate machine under my desk and hook up my Keyboard, mouse and screen via a KVM switch.
You can run Ubuntu The Linux Mint installer Ubuntu based, with Mate for your 32 bit, or 64bit system VB, and over Ubuntu complied packages, not Debian pure ones, should be about the same. Use Ubuntu if you already have it. This is an older question, but I'm adding a comment for others that are looking for help. A friend asked me for advice on this after reading this post. If the game you want to install isn't listed, you use the link at the bottom to "install a non-listed program".
Ones that run without any special configuration are often no on the list. The best thing is that it will let you have a separate virtual C: drive for each game you install. This is really helpful because older games sometimes used DLLs that could conflict with others and cause problems. By each game you install having its own virtual C: drive, they never conflict with one another.
With this interface enabled, it improves the speed of execution of Linux guests on Windows hosts. That is, do not enable the Hyper-V interface if you are emulating a Linux guest on a Linux host. But if you are emulating a Windows guest, it is this interface that you should enable.
The Hyper-V interface is recognized by Windows 7 and above. In Windows XP it may work, but 7 is currently more supported. The next step is to set up the video card for the Windows guest. Do as shown in the figure below with MB the maximum that VBox currently supports.
Once these settings have been done, turn on the virtual machine and press F8 to enter safe mode. After the machine has booted, in the VirtualBox devices bar, click "insert guest additions disk" and start installing guest additions. If all went well, you can now install DirectX9C and enjoy good accelerated games on the Windows virtual machine you own.
There are reports that League Of Legends also runs with good performance in virtual machine in this case, saving the pains and tribulations of WINE.
But, note: If you have an old computer Core2Duo and alike , do not run Windows 7 on the virtual machine. The performance is very poor. VirtualBox is regularly updated, and you can grab the latest release from here. At the time of writing, v5. VirtualBox helps you build a virtual wall, keeping all invaders safely trapped, running inside a seemingly happy real system of their own. Your real PC running VirtualBox is called the host ; VirtualBox is technically the hypervisor ; and any virtualized systems it runs on the host PC are called guests , and are your virtual machines VM.
Technically, these are reusable and portable, plus you have snapshot and history capabilities, hence the separate manager. Before we create anything, though, consider where your VMs will be stored—both the small VM configuration.
This launches a dialog that steps you through the creation of a new VM. VirtualBox wants to know how much memory to assign to the VM. Next is the virtual hard drive.
