    can we request games and you test them for us?

    WoW runs on both WINE and VBox iirc. Never tried CoH, heard it runs on Wine, don't know about MS but the consensus is that most games that use GG don't run well under WINE or VBox

    Okay, probably could've guessed that from FlyFF not working. Maplestory doesn't work on Windows Vista, and I have not tried it on 7.

    Thanks for looking those up, Telume :]

    Try playing around with Ragnarok Online.

    Also, if you can find them, Eternal Fighter Zero and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (or its sequel, Hisoutensoku). Although I guess those two are of as less priority since USB controllers still don't work with virtualbox yet I bet V:

    Ragnarok Online does not work, I tried a private server before you asked like about a week and a half ago.

    I don't know but, USB stuff works pretty well on VBox, I was able to plug my USB Hard Drive into it no problem.

    USB Tablets work too. Overall USB seems to work, maybe it's because you're using the OSE version instead of PUEL, I'm using PUEL so I have no problems plugging USB controllers in.

    I've never tried a joystick but, it seems to me that if a tablet works then a joystick should also.
