Which is a better virtual machine for AROS?

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

I prefer Virtualbox for most things...but I can't get Virtualbox and Icaros to play nicely together :(

I would have to agree.
 
I use virtualbox for my virtualisation needs. However I simply can't get it to play nicely with either AROS or ICAROS. Yet windows 3.1 works fine lol.

Here is a version 1.5 image for virtualbox you can update to the latest version from there.

Some old versions of VBox won't boot AROS because of bugs in VBox. If you're having trouble, make sure you have the latest version of VBox installed.

VBox on a Mac is pretty rubbish, to many issues :(

On Linux: I prefer VMWare (free)
Mac: VMWare Fusion (pay)
Windows: VBox or VMWare, both are good

I only tried the old Parallel 2.x on Mac with not so good result - can't speak for later versions.
