Running EVE in virtualbox Posted by Hulkdog1-2011/01/15 09:57 After a few days of setting everything up I've finally got EVE running alongside our beloved macro bot but when it is going through first run wizard everything in full screen runs fine but when in windowed mode it screws up horribly and the bottom half of the eve screen is messed up... it has nothing to do w/ eve miner but just the virtual machine... SO is it possible to run this bot in fullscreen all the time with a virtual machine that is 1024*768?

To run bot in background you should use VMWare 7 with VMWareTools installed Posted by xcorps - 2011/01/15 19:22 Slav2 wrote: Not possible.

Do you or anyone have a working copy of Windows that I can use? :laugh: :S It would be a dream come true to have Eve Pilot doing its thing without hogging up my PC. :lol: Posted by Slav2-2011/01/15 23:10 Download windows from microsoft :) You can set CD-drive to use your local iso file to install windows. This will not be working copy after 30 days, but you dont need working copy of windows to run bot. 1 / 13
Black-backgrounded windows works pretty well also. Also you can try to make snapshot of your windows after you install everything. As soon as some problem arises, revert your virtual machine to previous state using this snapshot. Posted by Hulkdog1-2011/01/16 10:24 Is there any way to get a hacked version of VMware 7 or is the only option to buy it? Posted by meloncholy - 2011/01/16 11:01 http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5074537/windows_tiny7_rev01_unattended_activated_cd It's a small version of Win7. Useless crap taken out. I use it on my virtual machines. Posted by Hulkdog1-2011/01/16 12:34 Thank you... but is there a hacked VMware 7 virtual software? Posted by meloncholy - 2011/01/16 13:45 Sorry, I thought you were looking for Win7. Pirate Bay will also have a copy of VMWare Workstation to download. Posted by xcorps - 2011/01/16 15:24 Yo. Thanks for that Win7 link. I'm going to give that a try tonight and report back. Also, I found a keygen for VMWare 7. Do a search on YouTube, and you should find 2 / 13
someone that has a video on his keygen. It worked perfectly fine for me, but I can't promise it's not a virus/trojan/whatever. I'm just saying it worked for me, and I have a free & licensed VMWare 7 Workstation. www.youtube.com /watch?v=zqtzwfqumh0 Without the space. The forums kept automatically showing the video and not the link. Posted by Hulkdog1-2011/01/16 19:50 Can't seem to download a good keygen, could you link where you got yours? thank you btw Posted by Slav2-2011/01/16 20:05 Keygen for VMware-workstation-full-7.0.0-203739.exe here Posted by xcorps - 2011/01/17 11:13 This is awesome. I now have VMWare running Windows Tiny 7 (which activated all by itself with not serial and is running as Windows Ultimate), and I have Eve Pilot all installed. Installing Eve Online onto the virtual windows, and I'm all set to let Eve Pilot do its thing without holding up my PC. Thanks, everyone! :woohoo: Posted by Hulkdog1-2011/01/17 11:25 3 / 13
Works great... it should probly be suggested for everyone to do the keygen thing w/ VMware due to it's being so simple to setup and run. Incredible program and awesome response time, this is the best eve addition anyone could have. Posted by xcorps - 2011/01/17 15:55 Yes indeed. I a must have for all Eve Pilot runners. I totally have everything running and minimized. This rocks. Posted by etosch - 2011/01/18 03:32 Anybody else having problems with running multiple VMs? One runs swiftly without problems, while running two brings up random freezes of one of them. core 2 quad, 8GB ram, raedon 4870 host win 7 64 vm ware 7.1.3 build-324285 guest win 7, 32 1gb ram, 1core Cu, Etosch Posted by jagriffiths81-2011/01/19 06:52 I have 14 Vmware Virtual Machines running Win7 each one running a seperate copy of EM. If you have any questions about using a server or VMWare just ask away. Posted by jagriffiths81-2011/01/19 06:54 Do you have your 3-D Graphics Acceleration turned on? That happened to me and i ticked the Accelerate 3D graphics option and it stopped doing it. 4 / 13

Also does anyone know if you suspend the VMs and then unsuspend them will evepilot just reconnect and continue? I have installed 4 VMs but have not really been able to try them because of the patch, but that said I gave each VM 2gb of ram and ran eve on each and my system maxed out its ram, does eve only need 1gb of ram in a VM environment?

It will. I run a quadcore 64bit 2.5Ghz, 8GB Ram and Win7. I did a lot of tweaking and found that 1.4GB of RAM is the sweet spot on my system. I run 2 XP Macro VM's, 2 clients each. And I also run another VM with SBS Server 2k8 atm. No real problems run about 80% memory utilization. Posted by jagriffiths81-2011/01/19 09:39 I am running a HP ML150 G6 with dual 2.0 Ghz Quad Core Processors. 48Gb RAM i have 14 VM's running currently each allocated 1 GB ram running Win7 Ultimate. Using ATI Radeon HD4500 PCI-E card The server works better with Windows 7 installed as the main OS then using VMWare 7 with the Virtual Machines running inside. If you have any more questions please ask.

There's a lot more then just cpu and the ghz it's at. Factors that should be considered are: Allocated space dedicated to page filing, HDD speed, RAM, OS/VM OS, Video card. The settings you have your VMware set to may also be a factor (ram/cpu/cores, etc). Posted by jagriffiths81-2011/01/19 11:01 I agree it did take me a while to get the settings right, it varies dependent on what system your using. Just to clarify i have 14 Accounts, 14 VM's and 14 Bots running. I think if i was to run more accounts then i would start to see serious lag. I do see some delay but that is only when i am using the server to change stuff. If i leave the VM's to run they run fine. I did need to buy a new 4 port network card and team them because the bandwidth on one network card ment that some of the machines kept crashing out. Posted by simpleminer3000-2011/01/19 13:45 Reading all the reply to the original topic, I could help but sharing a rather different approach to VMWare and licensing of Software, let me explain... I would suggest something even simpler than VMWare Workstation 7 without the need for an additional install of Windows 7:) and totally free and legal... 1. Download the free VMWare vcenter Converter Here, install and convert your running physical machine into a Virtual machine (should take about 1-2 hours depending on its size). 2. Download and install VMware Player Here, same as previously, install and run. 3. Point VM player to your VM, change VM settings according to your needs (Memory, Disk space, Floppy, shared Folder, etc...), once happy with it fire up your VM. 7 / 13
4. Uninstall all unnecessary clutter from your VM, ie: software you wont need to run EVE and EVEPilot. 5. Install EVE Pilot and configure according to manual 6. Run EVE Pilot 7. There you go, you got a free and legal VM running without the requirement to hack anything and you can duplicate the VM and redeploy if something screwed up at some point (Keep a clean original VM in a safe place for re-deployement) Happy mining. Posted by Pyroplan - 2011/01/19 14:14 Sry double post Posted by Pyroplan - 2011/01/19 14:14 Have someone Tips for a pc for up to 6-8vm's? It should be as cheap and silent as possible. And what are u doing with 14 Mining Accounts? Sell the isk/plex? Where is it safe? Or are u use them for private using? Posted by Gerkal - 2011/01/19 15:10 VMWare 7 + Tools. After start EVE occurs nothing. Only exefile.exe hangs in processes. What to do? Posted by simpleminer3000-2011/01/20 12:13 petemc wrote: 8 / 13
but that said I gave each VM 2gb of ram and ran eve on each and my system maxed out its ram, does eve only need 1gb of ram in a VM environment? I run my VMs with 2GB of RAM, but this is of course depending on your Guest OS, if you run Windows7 and EVE, 2GB is a must, otherwise you'll get your host system suffering performance in return, same goes with disk space, I use a free software to minimize the OS ISO image so I install the bare minimum, so it uses less memory, less disk space and less heavy on the guest OS. I run on an Alienware M17X R2 with 8GB RAM, disk to be swapped for an SSD to speed up Disk IO for the VMs. Posted by xcorps - 2011/01/20 12:21 simpleminer3000 wrote: petemc wrote: but that said I gave each VM 2gb of ram and ran eve on each and my system maxed out its ram, does eve only need 1gb of ram in a VM environment?

I run on an Alienware M17X R2 with 8GB RAM, disk to be swapped for an SSD to speed up Disk IO for the VMs. Someone previously posted about "Windows Tiny 7," and that is an extremely scaled down version of Windows Ultimate. Registered and everything. I'm using that right now with 1024 RAM, and whatever other default settings that VMWare used for creating a VM. It's beautiful for me. I'm running a dual-core laptop (quad-core virtually) with Windows 7 Home and 4GB memory. I even used the VMWare to install the Google Android OS, and that was pretty cool. ^_^ Posted by meloncholy - 2011/01/20 12:31 Glad my link for Tiny 7 helped out. When I'm installing the OS, Eve and Eve Miner, I have the VM using 1024 ram. After all is setup properly, I lower the ram to 512. Everything still runs fine with that. 9 / 13

I run eve at full screen 1920x1080 full Gfx setting x4 anti on Q6600 2400mhz clocked to 3601mhz 4gig of ram. With 2x Vmware running windows xp with 800MB of virtual ram 15gigHD space. The trick is run vmware with 1cpu 1core. any more it lags to hell. I did have 8 gig but crappy corsair memmory keeps failing. When i play eve i run 1 vmware running macro. and play eve on 2 accounts at full settings daul monitors. no lag at all. I set this up only 3 days ago after update of eve. as i ran 1 bot on old SS2 proccesor machine that no longer supports eve. Posted by Phantom742-2011/01/25 11:04 i running a Win 7 64 bit system on my laptop an I installed vmware 7.0.2. I'm running win XP Home on the VMware an i cannot get eve started. I just opens the initial picture and then it minimizes and can't be opened again. does anybody has 'n solution? Posted by meloncholy - 2011/01/25 11:52 Download and install DirectX in your virtual computer. Also make sure VM Tools is installed. Posted by jagriffiths81-2011/01/25 12:03 Make sure that you have checked accelerate 3D Graphics in your options within VMWare. If you still have the same problem let me know and i will try to replicate it and work out the solution Posted by Demos74D - 2011/01/25 12:38 To make your vitural machine work you need 4 things. I'm not going to link specific locations because they can be found all over this post, or easily googlable. VMware 7- once you have it installed you need to create your Virtual Machine and use the option to download and install VMware Tools. Keygens are readily available on any torrent site. Windows XP- you can get an iso and key from any torrent site. 11 / 13
DirectX- you can download this from the directx website.net framework 2- you can google and download this. Thats it, once it opens install Evepilot and set up like normal. I personally like to set my VMs as a team for easy start-up (also mitigates the risk of burning out your processor because you can set a delay between start-ups), its also easier to view all of them in the team mode window than individually. I found every few days I have an issue where either my host computers internet connection or my VMs internet connection goes wonkers. All I do is turn off all my VMs,open VMnetwork tool and set all the options to Host Only, then disconnect/reconnect internet on my host machine and make sure it works, then set everything back to default with the default settings button on VMnetwork, and start up my VMs again, everything goes back to working. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Posted by wop2-2011/06/19 14:12 Has anyone running VMware 7.1 noticed issues with EVE running in the Virtual machines?
