Update: I installed Virtualbox 6.1.32 just to test it, and although I lost Direct3D acceleration in Windows 2000, I must say that the 2D performance in worlds better than the version I used in this video. Dragging windows across the screen no longer is laggy or jittery. I think I'll stick with it considering I don't personally intend on using hardware acceleration or gaming in Win2k!

14. Install DX 9.0c from July 2004. 23:36
15. You are now ready to get Direct3D acceleration working using DirectX 9.0c

Now let's get Direct3D working!
1. Make sure you have followed all steps above before continuing to this point to get D3D acceleration in Windows 2000 with Virtualbox!
2. Mount VirtualBox Guest Additions using the Devices tab in Guest OS window. Don't install if it pops up. Cancel. 25:05
3. Start - CMD. Go to CD Drive by typing D: and pressing enter. 25:13
4. Type vboxwindowsadditions-x86 /extract /D=C:\Drivers
5. Go to C:\Drivers\x86\VBoxVideo\OpenGL in Windows Explorer. Delete both d3d9.dll and d3d8.dll 25:42
6. Rename VBoxD3D8.dll to d3d8.dll and VBoxD3D9.dll to d3d9.dll. Copy these dlls with wined3d.dll to the C:\WinNT\System32 folder
7. From CMD go to Vbox install folder. 26:27
C: enter.
cd \
cd progra~1
cd oracle
cd virtua~1
vboxcontrol setvideoacceleration on
then start - run - dxdiag and see if direct3D is on. 27:06

Let's increase to 256MB VRAM 27:58
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows 2000 D3D-3" --vram 256

Enable multi-cpu in Windows 2000:
Start - Run - cmd and enter this command:
rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction ACPIAPIC_MP_HAL 128 %windir%\inf\hal.inf
Select yes to install. Shut down, make sure 2 cpus are enabled in Virtualbox and start it back up. Done.
