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

Hello, I'm trying to install macOS Sonoma using this guide, but I can't get it to work. What happens to me is that the installer never fills the bar of this screen; it constantly reboots around this:

Then it shows me the following screen, but it doesn't fill either and reboots again around that same advance:

And finally, it shows me this other screen:

The only thing I can do is try to install it again, but it is an endless cycle of installation attempts that never ends. Does someone know what to do in this case?

I already enabled the SVM inside my BIOS, and I'm using:
  • Windows 10 Pro
  • AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor 4.30 GHz
  • 96 GB RAM
  • MOB MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
  • SSD SSD Kingston Fury Renegade 2 TB (Kingston SFYRD2000G)
  • HHD 3.6 TB ST4000DM004-2CV104
I already tried other internet guides, but got worse problems: infinite reboots during installation, until I got an error screen. On those other guides, I needed to modify the macOS.vmx file and add some lines to be able to start the installation, but as this guide said, when trying this guide, I started from zero, uninstalling the unlocker by using the file win-uninstall.cmd with admin privileges, deleting the previous VMware Workstation, and installing again with the link of this guide, and using the Unlocker provided inside this guide.

Extras:
  • I did point 8 about adding:
    • bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
    • reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity” /v “Enabled” /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
  • I have tried four different ISOs (including the Sonoma one you put in this guide), but I still get the same issue with any of them.
  • I used the OPENCORE 16-core setup provided in this post and set the Hard Disk to SATA 0:0.
  • The CD/DVD is on SATA 0:1.
  • The Hard Disk 2 is on SATA 0:2.
  • The lines inside my nacOS.vmx file were okay with a 16 as value.
    • numvcpus = "16"
    • cpuid.coresPerSocket = "16"

Hello. Try to create a virtual machine from the very beginning and use it specifically for 4 core AMD.

This version only works with Ryzen processors with 4 cores or more
Download New Version of VMWare disk image file Here: OPENCORE 1.0.4 - 4 cores

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, even doing what you said, I got the same problem.

I captured these screens. I don't know if they could help solve or find the problem:

It's always the same situation.

1. I start installing, but this screen never fills the charge bar; it constantly reboots at this same point:

2. I got the screen with all those white letters that I showed at the beginning.

3. I got the following screen, but without doing anything or selecting the third option, it continues.

4. I got stuck again on a load bar, but this time at the following screen, and again, it never passes that point.

5. Again, point two, the screen with all those white letters that I showed at the beginning.

6. Again, point 3, and it's an infinite cycle.
