OpenMsx inside Hyper-V virtual machine

Hi everyone,
I installed openMSX x64 in a win 10 virtual machine.
When I start it it appears the window, but it closes immediately.
If I boot from the command line I get this message: "info: SRAM file cbios-msx2+.cmos not found, assuming blank SRAM content."

Could this be due to openMSX not being compatible with Hyper-V's video card?

Thanks

Good to hear! We fixed this issue:
- fixed crash when required OpenGL version was not found

Probably you don't have OpenGL on that system available. This means that the release after 19.0 will not run anymore on your system.

Thanks for your info.
Have you an idea about this problem (confirmed with official release also), please?

I installed openMSX 19 (candidate release) on a virtual machine and I'm using VS Code to develop. If I set a breakpoint everything works fine, but as soon as I do a "Step over" the debug bar becomes gray (except the pause key) and in the debug console it tells me that it is positioned on the next instruction. From that moment, however, I can no longer do anything and the program remains stopped. In text editor the next row number become white but the row is not focused.
I cannot try another openMsx version because on my virtual machine it's not possible run a previous version.
