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

Try using OC Auxiliary Tools and update the kexts and use opencore 1.0.4. Then change the serial and synchronize and save.
That should work.

Excellent News !!!Hello Friend,
With the help of your customised OpenCore, my Windosh VMWare VM installation is a complete success! I am installing XCode from within macOS 14 VM.
Another question is -
Do you also use GenSMBIOS tool and OpenCore plist to configure your virtual iMac specification?
GitHub - corpnewt/GenSMBIOS: Py script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate SMBIOS and optionally saves them to a plist.

I use OC Auxiliary Tools to edit and configure the opencore config.plist file.

You can use this tool to edit this file and configure new SIM Bios and use another one...

Thanks a lot !! tucano2000 for your nice tutorial, I followed it and successfully upgraded to Sequoia 15.4.1, it runs very smoothly on 8 cores and 16 GB RAM. The only issue is that sometimes when I shutdown the VM it gets stuck & I have to force power it off. But it is not a big deal if there's no workaround or a fix.
Just wondering if I can rename the Graphics "Display 128mb" under "About this Mac" to my liking just for cosmetic reason. I have tried different methods with no luck.

@tucano2000 Thanks so much for that tip! SN Changed successfully. Sadly, iMessage doesn't work. Facetime worked for a bit then it died for some reason? I used to be able to load imesasge, but messages would fail to deliver "not delivered" - after a while, iMessage stopped opening entirely. Login loop. Any ideas? I know I followed the opencore sn guide correctly. thanks.
I remember solving this on my old laptop by using horndis's android tether solution. I wonder if this will work here. Gonna test and let you guys know

iMessage works on a 15.2 ISO (it may not be the one linked here, I think it was the one from archive.org). I found some ISO online for 15.4 and iMessage didn't work on it (failed to login). I haven't tried the 15.4 Beta ISO in this thread but I am pretty sure people said iMessage works on it, have you tried that one?

You can use this tool to edit this file and configure new SIM Bios and use another one for your virtual machine:

Editing SMBIOS:

Before you can edit it, you need to mount the OPENCORE partition. This partition contains the EFI directory and, inside it, the OC directory, where the config.plist file is located, which must be opened with OC Auxiliary Tools:

Use ESP MOUNTER PRO or another application to mount the OPENCORE partition:
When opening and editing the config.plist file, be careful because an error can make the machine unbootable.
I create 2 virtual machines here and open the opencore vmdk file from another machine as a secondary drive to correct errors in config.plist in case it is no longer bootable:

You can edit OPENCORE from the virtual machine itself without having to use 2 machines. But you must make sure you know what you're doing. Editing SMBIOS, for example, and choosing a Mac that is not supported by macOS Sonoma can cause the system to stop booting.
As far as I know, Macs manufactured after 2019 support macOS Sonoma.
