We have released several famous posts on installing Leopard, Snow Leopard on VMware and VirtualBox on your Intel and AMD computers. All articles are available under. These methods go with original retail Mac DVD or ISO (Original vanilla kernel), hackintosh versions and pre installed VMware images. Several users who don’t have hardware Virtualization Technology (VT) supported processor (Mostly old type), requested to know the possibility of running Mac OS X Leopard without VT. Let me show how to install Mac OS X Leopard without VT on VMware as a virtual machine on a PC.

Several users who don’t have hardware Virtualization Technology (VT) supported processor (Mostly old type), requested to know the possibility of running Mac OS X Leopard without VT. Install Mac OSX in VMware Windows PC. This article explains step by step method to install Mac OSX in VMware on your Windows PC. If you are interested to learn something on Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard or do some testing on Mac OS, then you can continue read this article. This article is only for testing purpose.
You must have noticed, I’m talking about “Leopard” which is OS X 10.5, the latest 10.6 “Snow Leopard” can not be installed without VT. I almost looked everywhere and tried all methods but no luck with this. If any of you managed to install and found any useful resources to achieve this, please share with us in comments area to install snow leopard without VT. Hackintosh version of iAtkos works on VMware without Virtualization Technology. Instead of downloading the ISO and installing with some ‘ magics’, here we will see how to do it with pre installed VMware image which works on non VT supported computers. Sysprobs already covered three articles with this pre installed image where you can import and use on VMware and VirtualBox. Unfortunately the image required VT to run on VirtualBox, so leave that option.
It works well on VMware workstation and VMPlayer. How to Install Leopard on VMware without VT- Steps 1). ( Its a torrent download) 2) Just follow the steps to install on, Incase your processor supports VT and its already enabled, but still you want to use this method, then VT should be disabled in physical computer BIOS. Read more information about.
OR latest VMware products have option to disable Virtualization Technology for specific virtual machine by selecting kernel paravirtualization option as shown below. Importing this pre installed image and running is very simple as shown in previous guides. If you face any difficulties, please check the comments area of both posts with useful inputs from readers.

Important Post Installation Configuration and Setups 1) Root password ( username – Mac admin) is ‘ password’ 2) To increase screen resolution of Leopard on VMware, follow the steps already mentioned. This driver works well to get multiple screen resolution size options including wider screen. 3) Sound is a problem. Download the package, install and restart the virtual machine.
Speaker icon appeared and sound output is there after the installation. 4) USB devices and network work fine in this method.
I suggest to stay with 10.5.5 version only, some users reported successful combo update and failure too. What ever you do, take a snapshot. Here is the working leopard on VMware. OK, I’m showing these all methods on my home PC with VT support but I disabled in processor settings. Virtualization Technology should be disabled on BIOS or processor settings for this method. I use the same method to run Mac OS X 10.5 leopard on VMware at office with Dell Optiplex computer which doesn’t have VT.
So I can confirm this will work on Intel ( and sometimes AMD also) computers without Virtualization Technology.
Hello, I'm trying to get a VM of OSX 10.6 on my PC. I'm running Windows 10 with an i7 4710HQ and Nvidia 860m.
I've been trying this method here: along with Unlocker 2: Now, this is the farthest I've made it trying to do this. I'm able to see an Apple Logo, and then it gives me an error saying that the guest OS is not Mac OSX Server 10.6. So I changed my Vmware to Workstation 11, and tried it with again and it gave the same error each time. I don't have the other OS versions, and I'm not sure whether I'm still doing something wrong, or whether it's a win 10 issue? I'm really new to this, and have never done OSX on a VM before. I also forgot to mention, but I bought my own Snow leopards CD, and I'm still trying to figure out that guide. Edited May 9, 2017 by Zaben.
Yeah, you aren't able to use a vanilla media alone with VB. You need to load a ramdisk first, so I would recommend downloading Nawcom's ModCD iso and using that as your bootable drive, then when you get to the Darwin screen you switch out the ModCD for the SL disk.
So to use that as the bootable drive, do i create an IDE controller or do I put it in the default SATA controller. I tried it with the IDE one and it game be a boot error. Bios disc read error and a cdboot: error then did nothing. I couldnt even change the disc.
How do I proceed from here? Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave in VMware Workstation on a Windows Host I wanted to make a simple guide on how to create a vanilla OS X El Capitan virtual machine running on a Windows host. The virtual machine should be useful for testing El Capitan and also for creating installers for use on a real machine/hackintosh.
There are many guides and videos on the net about running OS X on Windows machines using pre-made VMWare disk images but you can never guarantee what else is in there. I’ve gathered info for this guide from various threads in the Multibooting and Virtualisation section of this forum eg Workstation 11/12, Player 7/12, Fusion 7/8 and ESXi 6 Mac OS X Unlocker 2 by @Donk How to Install OS X 10.x from Snow Leopard to El Capitan in VMware Workstation 10/12, Player 6/8 or ESXi 5/6 by @MSOK HOW TO: Create a bootable El Capitan ISO for VMware Credit and thanks to @Donk, @Albert Nietsnie and @MSOK for all their hard work in creating and testing the VMware Unlocker program.
Requirements Intel PC with four or more CPU cores running Windows 7 X64 or later OS (2 or more cores needed for OS X) 4GB or more RAM (2GB or more will be needed for OS X) Hard Disk with at least 40GB free for Virtual Machine VMware Workstation 12 or later VMware Unlocker 2.0.7 or later Install OS X El Capitan app and Mac or Hack to prepare installation iso?@A'. Vanilla Mavericks and Yosemite The same VM settings for El Capitan will also boot and run vanilla installations of OS X Mavericks and Yosemite. Attached to this post are installer scripts to create bootable Mavericks (CMI.tool) and Yosemite (CYI.tool) ISOs for VirtualBox and VMware. With the respective OS X installer apps in the Applications folder, download and run the installer tools using terminal ie To create a Mavericks ISO on your desktop cd downloads chmod +x CMI.tool./CMI.tool To create a Yosemite ISO on your desktop cd downloads chmod +x CYI.tool./CYI.tool Here is a screenshot of the VM running Mavericks 10.9.5. Enjoy Update for macOS 10.12 Sierra The above settings still work for macOS Sierra after upgrading to VMware Workstation 12.5 and unlocker 2.0.8 - see post #13. Update for macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave See post#30 for macOSisocim.tool script to create ISO for macOS using Apple's createinstallmedia utility. Post#41 describes how to build 'Install macOS.app' on the fly from installer files downloaded beforehand in /SharedSupport folder.

Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave in VirtualBox 5.x.x on a Windows Host Following on from my previous guide on how to create a VMware virtual machine running Vanilla OS X El Capitan in Windows, I’ve decided to write a similar guide for creating a VirtualBox El Capitan VM. The virtual machine should be useful for testing El Capitan and also for creating installers for use on a real machine/hackintosh.
There are other tutorials and videos on the net about running OS X on Windows machines using pre-made VMDK disk images but you can never guarantee what else is in there. Is it possible to install an older OS X.5 Leopard or OS X.6 Snow Leopard Hackintosh system on a modern i7 processor PC? I need to to run either of those systems using an Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor on a Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H motherboard. I saw this post where someone said “Clover 32Bit should boot Leopard as well, using Legacy mode. You will need 32bit kexts as well.”. Would that be valid advice for me to follow up on for my configuration? I see that Clover 32 bit is no longer in development.
Soo i was trying install mac at 4 days ago and finnaly today i can. I installed the Leopard and all works fin except the keyboard and ps2 mouse. And then i try a lot to put a.kext with transmac on windows xp cause im dual booting it.When i try to use Transmac i have the error'This drive is read only'. Who i fix this?! This is my first question! The second i think is more hard. I have a Amilo Pro V3505 with 2gb ram and Intel GMA 945, a Intel Pentium T2130 idk the motherboard i aleardy try find the name but i couldnt with a Atheros ar5007eg wirless adapter.
So i instal iAtkos S3 v2 but when i was booting(after installing) it he boots and starts make the sound of the animation video of snow leopard but THE SCREEN WAS GREY WITHOUT THE APPLE LOGO AND WITHOUT THE MOUSE JUST A GREY SCREEM. Well i try much flags but when i try GraphicsEnabler=No while the booting appears i recuve the message 'you need to restart the computer' and i restart and gives again the same error. I think is some missing kext graphical but i cant add/remove kexts cause transmac give error! Thanks in advanced! Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I have a pretty old laptop that I'd like to get Snow Leopard running on. At first, I tried booting Nawcom's ModUSB with a retail DVD image, but I would always get kernel panic, no matter what I tried (I couldn't even get to the installer).
So I decided to try a distro, after trying many different things with ModUSB. I decided to use Hazard's 10.6.1-10.6.2 SSE2/SSE3 Intel/AMD distro. I was shocked when it booted to the installer with no issues! I formatted the HD as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), GPT.
I then installed Snow Leopard. After a while, the installation succeeded, and I was happy. It went ahead with the restart necessary for the installation,. Kernel panic. The same kernel panic I got before when trying ModUSB.
I was really disappointed.
