Let's take a moment to
discuss virtual machines, from here on out I will refer to them as a
VM.
A VM is a simple to use software app from a developer such as
Microsoft or Sun Systems (just to name a few of the free ones) which
creates a hard drive image of an additional computer on your
physical machine, thereby giving you a way to create additional PC's
for little or no cost. It looks, feels, and acts just like a regular
computer....and is basically the best thing since sliced bread.
I see so many newcomers make the mistake of buying their Poker Bot license
for their main computer....but then what happens? Because you can't
move the mouse or use other programs at the same time it will tie
up your computer. Well, the VM is here to save the day. Most of
the Poker Bot operators who are serious about this hobby, use a VM
for ther Poker Bot which allows us to use our main machine
as always to surf the web, or email, etc.
The only restriction of how many VM's you can make depends on the
hardware in your physical computer. For example: I have an ancient
Toshiba Satellite laptop that only has 512MB of RAM, and single
core processor, so I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, "found" a
copy of Windows XP, and allocated 330MB of RAM to the VM. Even with
this cheap setup I can run 4 poker tables in the background thru the
VM, and still am able to watch You Tube videos on the main screen.
After installing the VM you will be able to connect to your local
home network and transfer files back and forth, such as profiles or
hand histories. The main reason I use a VM is when I write a new
poker bot profile, I can run it and watch it play on the VM, but
have my code pulled up on the main machine and make changes "on the
fly" without having to remove the Poker Bot from the table and find
a new table after I reload the profile.
As you become more familiar with using a VM, I am sure you will find
other needs that a VM can be used for as well. If you run into
problems setting up your VM, there are several helpful threads and
members at Poker Bot forums that can help you achieve success.
