    Anybody knows if it is possible to replace RSDT when using

    Code:
    VBoxManage setextradata VMNAME "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/CustomTable" "./SLIC.bin"

    For me this works:
    VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 7 64Bit" "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/SLICTable" "C:\Windows 7 64Bit\DELL.BIN"

    If you replied to me, then of course this works, but does NOT change RSDT
    Just check with SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 and read Advanced tab

    Hi ALL,

    Here is a recompiled BIOS for VirtualBox 5.2.6 with support for Windows XP Mode SLP activation.

    Link: sendspace [dot] com/file/7e3zmg

    For applying run commands in CMD with replacing values:
    <virtualbox_install_dir>: directory where VirtualBox in installed
    VM name: name of virtual machine which settings should be adjusted (note that name should be quoted)
    path_to_vbxbios: path to vbxbios.rom file (should be quoted)

    Code:
    CD <virtualbox_install_dir>
    VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/BiosRom" "path_to_vbxbios"
