Sure you could get it all automated, but it's not an elegant solution in my opinion (not like dual-booting is anymore elegant).
If you asked me, the best, seamless option (if Linux is your main) would be to use WINE (or preferably CrossOver Games if all you really need is decent support for games). On the flip side, if Windows is your main, it makes more sense to boot into that first, then load up a VM whenever you feel the need to go Linux.
With all respect, but I think you misunderstood EVERYTHING. I'm certainly more of a Linux user than Windows, but with "main" system I clearly meant *host* system since the very first post. Why would I want to install Windows on a normal partition just to install Vbox on it and start a virtual Linux? What I wanted to do is, having a single partition-installed OS (i.e., the *host* Linux), install Vbox on it, on the virtual machine install Windows, and on this virtual Windows be able to play PC games and Dolphin. That was the original query.
@AnyOldName3:
You seemed to indeed understand me. I understand VMWare is a different virtualization program other than VirtualBox. From your overall posts in this thread, are you saying I'd have better luck with VMWare (if I paid for it) than with VirtualBox regarding hardware acceleration? From the links I posted 5 posts ago it would seem VirtualBox is still not very good for that...
