VBoxManage setextradata “MacOSX Catalina” “VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct” “iMac11,3” These are all my notes for anyone else who wants to try: 1) REFERENCES: 1) HOW-TO:ġa) Install MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina on Windows PC:ġb) Install MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina on VMware:ġc) Install MacOS X Unlockr 3.0.2 for VMware 10-15 on Windows 7-10:Ģa) Download MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina ISO for VMware and Virtualbox: Ģb) Download latest MacOS X Catalina images:Ģc) Download latest VMware Unlockr (maintained by Paolo after Donk stopped): I’m glad I did it so that I understand what’s possible with Mac OS X as a virtual machine, but it’s way too underperforming compared to any other OS as a virtual machine. The3 contents of the closets 98. (It is only a 493MB file at present, though) 2. The virtualization software comparable to Virtualbox is called VMware Workstation (for Linux/Windows) or VMware Fusion(for Mac). MacOS 9, Fedora, Ubuntu ran circles around Catalina with lesser specs. I unchecked the 2GB files option and VMWare resaved the VM image. Used Media Manager to Add virtualbox.vmdk as Hard Disk.

I makes a copy of windoze.vmdk to virtualbox.vmdk 2. It’s slow, VERY slow, despite running on the latest i7-8* processors with a GTX 1060 to do graphics acceleration, it’s painfully slow compared to ANY other virtual machine running. Been using VMWare (VMPlayer and VMServer), and like to try smaller and lighter VirtualBox.


It works… after too many hours, I had success with a 4-processor, 8GB (memory), 100GB (storage) virtual machine running under either Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation 15.5.1 Notes on installing macOS X 10.5.2 Catalina on VMware and VirtualBox THOUGHTS:
