    Found 26h1 unlocker, my Mac is back running on 26h1. All is well.

    Mac OS install on AMD Ryzen/INTEL (VMWare) Opencore - Improved Performance - Works with Tahoe / Sequoia / Sonoma / etc

    Had 2 pc's with the latest 32 bit version of workstation pro running Sequoia, both stable. As an experiment, I updated one of them to Workstation Pro 26h1, which is their first version as 64 bit. Of course it broke the Sequoia vm, and the patch program would not add back the Mac Os line, not...

    I don't believe so, my understanding is Maps uses a proprietary Apple chip for rendering. I've built several virtual Macs, both on VMware and VirtualBox, including Catalina and Sequoia, and Maps has never worked. It loads, but does not render. Google maps works fine, so I never considered it...

    Another variation in my process as compared to yours - I downloaded 15.2, finished the install, and then upgraded to 15.5 using the Apple 15.5 install pkg. I wouldn't expect that to make a difference, but it is worth noting.

    You might start at the end of 26 and read my total experience. I did turn off TPM, saw somewhere that was desirable for virutual machine operation. Also bring up Windows System Information, see if a hypervisor is running, near the end of posts. It's really difficult to turn it completely off...

    I'm going to ask the obvious, how long did you wait before you gave up at 12 min?

    Another problem - I went thru all the usual steps to disable hypervisor generation, settings, scripts, etc., but no matter what I did when I rebooted a hypervisor was running, with the accompanying decrease in VM performance. I have a recent Lenovo laptop, with biometric sign-in devices, facial...

    Ran into another problem, having to do with the color profile for the display. Background, at one point I was doing color management professionally, profiling displays and printers, so I have the equipment to create custom profiles. Preview and Photos both work with the "unsupported monitor"...

    One additional note - I created the Sequoia vm using the available Sequoia iso, 15.2. I later downloaded the 15.5 pkg file, and successfully updated. Turns out for me it was easier and quicker to go this route, rather than download the 15.5 iso.

    I had noticed outbound data transfer was slow, went back and reread the first page of this thread, and sure enough there was the cure. This is an amazing cookbook, as far as I can tell no deficiencies in the final product other than "Maps" doesnt function correctly. As I understand, it uses a...

    Never mind, found it, have to "allow" VMWare tools daemon in "Privacy and Security". Now I can "pull" to any resolution, or use the set resolution command. Richard Southworth

    Hi all, brand new member. Per this thread, installed Ventura and Sequoia on my Yoga, Ryzen 7 8840HS. The Ventura install worked fine, loaded up VMware tools and able to "pull" it to any resolution. However, the Sequoia version is stuck at 1024 x 768. When pulled the VMware window expands...
