In general, recent 4.x versions of VirtualBox worked fine (on an OS X host)
with DFly, BUT: the USB part of VirtualBox works =E2=80=A6 intermittently, =

experience, with any guest OSs. This might be OS X host specific, but I nee=

many attempts and the right direction of wind to attach a USB stick to the
guest, not the host.

I don't exactly know if QEMU has USB support, but it may be worth a try if
VirtualBox acts up. Generally speaking, QEMU tries less hard to be "clever"
in integrating with the host, at the cost of performance.

Good luck!
