Halt VM machine on BSOD

Yes! You can force VirtualBox to stop on a BSOD by using a debugging method. Here are a few ways to do it:


Method 2: Force the VM to Pause on Crash

You can configure VirtualBox to stop on a BSOD by enabling a debugging mode:

  1. Close VirtualBox completely.
  2. Open a Command Prompt on your host machine (Run as Administrator).
  3. Navigate to the VirtualBox installation folder:
    cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
  4. enter:
    VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMName" "VBoxInternal/PDM/HaltOnReset" 1

45 Start the VM again. When Windows XP crashes, the VM will stop instead of rebooting.

To remove this setting later:

VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMName" "VBoxInternal/PDM/HaltOnReset"

Greetings fello emco'ers!

I am pretty excited to post this- using some code dis-assemblers I have been playing with (IDA v7 and GHIDRA) I have been able to find the service/factory passwords for WinConfig (WNCFG) V1.1

In the password menu, try the following passwords:
SERVICE
CONTROL
SUPERVISOR

This enables full control of MSD/INI file, AND the best part- logging of all RS485 commands. In the .ini file creator under "Test Options" there is a window to record all varieties of RS485 communication. I will be posting a walkthrough with screenshots later this weekend. If I can get my PC to recognize my RS485 card, I plan on logging all commands and posting to this site. If not, if someone else will log and post, the possibility exists to adapt an off the shelf piece of hardware to drive these rs485 machines- something like an arduino + shield.

More to Come!

Travis
