Hi,
What is in your opinion the best Virtual Machine software for videogame utilization?
Unfortunelly I have not 2 computer and also not two monitor...
Sometime may be really usefull, with particoular games, perform a remote utilize CE for searching and debugging.
In this post: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5527596&sid=7a800f3c06e49d1b1874915d345523fd Gniarf was so kind to drove me in the process of using CE in remote mode with "desktop remote".
At the moment I'm attempting to try this connection utilizing a Virtual Machine software: Virtualbox, but even the simplest game run very very slow.
My Os is win 8.1 with I-5 and 8 Mb ram.
Thanks for attemption.

Some Virtual machine software:
VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/
VMWare: http://www.vmware.com/products/player
QEMU: http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page
Windows Virtual PC: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3702
Parallels Desktop: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

Note: Some of these may require other host operating systems to work; some may also cost money.

Thanks!!
I have failed with Virtualbox: very good for other programs, but too much slow for play.
Now Try VMware player.

All the VMs will give you crappy performance in modern games unless all three of these things are true.

1 - Your PC/CPu physically supports hardware-assisted virtualization AND it's turned on in the BIOS.

2 - The VM supports that too and the setting to use it is on.

3 - The VM also supports hardware-assisted GPU stuff. Either virtualbox or VMware, I know one of them does. It is NOT on by default, you need to go through additional steps and install special drivers within the VM for it, the software's online manual will have the info.
