Unless, of course, you are a wizard with code and know how to add the missing code. You can't hack a system if the means is not there.

#MAC OS X ISO FOR VMWARE PLAYER MAC OS#

What I don't understand is why VMWare has the software onboard to allow an Mac OS to be loaded. I had no idea why they did not allow Apple to run on VM Player so thanks for the explanation. I appreciate VM Player and have no interest in hacking it. They have removed the CD-ROM device so you are forced to buy from the Apple store. Win 7 is a superior system with regard to user-friendliness.Microsoft missed the boat by trying to force people away from the mouse and keyboard and in the direction of touch screens.Did not work. I am doing that because I don't like W10 either. My friend has a similar vintage Mac, which cost 3 times as much, and Apple cut her off from updates to recent Mac OS's. I am running Win 10 (free version) on an old laptop, vintage 2008. I've had many complaints about Microsoft over the years but at least they have a good legacy policy. I don't like Apple anyway, not the OS, which I know nothing about, but the company. I have looked for script files with an nsh extension but I see none in the ISO, or even in the dmg as viewed by 7zip.ДЄnyone familiar with this stuff and how I can explore it in depth rather than use stock vmdk images? That's a neat trick in itself but I am still perplexed as to which files it is mapping to get the OS install going. I understand thus far that EFI does not require a boot loader and that it can map the macOS in an ISO file directly into memory. I am just being introduced to EFI bios and it seems in many ways close to that of DOS, and maybe Unix. Note: macOS guests are only supported in VMware Fusion virtual machines. macOS is specifically listed as not supported in the list of guest OSs for Workstation, and this is also stated in VMWares Installing VMware Tools in a Mac OS Guest. Thus far, I have been unable to get VM Player to recognize the OS created by a conversion from mac dmg filer converted to an ISO file. There is no officially supported option to install macOS in VMWare Workstation on Windows.

I have a fairly in-depth knowledge of DOS/Windows under the hood and I am hoping to have a fairly in-depth discussion about how VMPlayer 14 and 15 boots a macOS system. I am trying to help a friend who has a mac by loading it on my VMPlayer, which I normally use for Windows apps. Hi.perhaps I am straying from the intent of this board by using a VMPlayer modified to allow a macOS install.
