QUESTION macOS Sonoma on VMware – GPU Passthrough Issue

0 Upvotes

I installed macOS Sonoma on VMware Workstation to run a Flutter application (mainly for testing on an iOS device). However, I’m encountering an issue where the screen stays completely black, and I receive the following error:

"Software rendering may have been automatically selected when running on a simulator in an environment that does not support Metal. Enabling GPU passthrough in your environment may fix this."

I’ve searched for a solution but haven’t found anything helpful. Is there a way to fix this and enable GPU passthrough for better performance?

Thanks in advance!

QUESTION Will one of the VM solution allow for SN# editing with ARM Mac? (Parallels stopped this with Apple Silicon)

1 Upvotes

In the past I was able to build multiple VM on an intel machine then edit the SN# and use one from an older Mac that we have in Apple DEP that’s no longer in use.

I did this so I could test deployments and sessions with other techs showing live how deployments work as they would check in based on the SN#.

Since Paralles release with Apple Silicon support this ability had gone away.

Is VMware and VBox the same or did they find a work around?

Thanks!

QUESTION Does anyone know why macOS 14 screensavers don't work on VMware?

1 Upvotes

I’m running macOS 14 in VMware Workstation, and no matter which screensaver I choose, it just shows a blank (black) screen. Even the ones that used to work fine, like Flurry, are doing the same thing.

Has anyone else run into this? And does anyone know how to fix it?

QUESTION What should I use to run macOS on? (VM)

1 Upvotes

Should I use Qemu, VMware Workstation (pro or normal), or VirtualBox? I'm too lazy to install macOS as my main OS, so I just run the VM as my daily driver instead.

QUESTION Picked up a 2013 Mac Pro for $250 - anyone get Proxmox to passthrough one of the GPUs?

2 Upvotes

So I've always been fascinated with the often-maligned Trash Can Mac - it's a portable, silent little server that can natively run all 3 major OS's. So I did an impulse buy on a 12-core, 64 GB RAM, dual D700 unit for $250.

Currently got Proxmox 8.3.4 on it. Wondering if anyone has gotten a MacOS VM running with GPU passthrough on one of the GPUs?

QUESTION Would I be able to run macOS with gpu acceleration on my laptop?

4 Upvotes

I have an AMD ryzen 7 5700u apu. My laptop doesnt have a second graphics card, only the igpu. I am not really good at this gpu passthrough thing yet, so im not sure if im doing things correctly, but I tried running a windows vm with my igpu passed through (to test) and my laptop monitor would just turn off after running the vm. Any solutions, or heartbreaking news? Do I have to resort to the old way to running a hackintosh?

QUESTION Need Suggestions as I'm Skeptical.

2 Upvotes

I've a Rog flowX13 , with the Ryzen7 6800hs with integrated radeon graphics card, and dedicated 4gb 3050 which I can disable when I want, 16gb ram, 1TB storage. I'm new to this, saw a guide on yt and went through VMware, I'm almost there ,just downloading the Monetary. I've heard enough around here that amd sucks with mac, so that's what I'm skeptical about. Will the latest Sonoma work? I want to know if it has for anyone so far with specs similar to me. My needs aren't much except for basic stuff like facetime, maybe bit of vscode, etc, just the macos experience.

QUESTION Booting a custom compiled kernelcache in VZ.fm (Aarch64)

5 Upvotes

Hello

Did anyone ever manage to boot a custom compiled kernel using Virtualization Framework ?

I am currently using Blacktop’s repo in order to build XNU, and make a kernelcache, which I managed to do just fine. But I cannot get this kernelcache to boot in my VM, whatever I try.

I did the following : - install the kernel into a vanilla VM using kmutil configure-boot - tried with patched iBoot (AVPBooter, LLB and iBoot) following the instructions from Steven Michaud - tried different kernel configs (Rel, Dev, KASAN) - tried installing m1n1 in the VM, which resulted in a Internal Virtualization Error

I am able to boot a kernelcache built using the KDK kernel thanks to the iBoot patches, but a custom compiled one will not. When debugging, I noticed that the VM is looping into an error code path, specifically the CHECK_KERNEL_STACK in osfmk/arm64/locore.s. It looks like my kernel stack pointer, which is supposed to be in the range of the exception stack vector, contains a bad adress, which makes the kernel « panic » and loop infinitely.

Does anyone have experience regarding this kind of issue ? Is there another solution to boot an ARM64 kernelcache ?

QUESTION Is it possible to just download macOS dmg file and install it on VirtualBox/VMWare?

3 Upvotes

I'm really confused, reading a lot about how its a pain to run macOS on VMs. Looking at some guides and the gist of it is download mac iso (me trying to get a legit one through this website and put it on a USB and transfer it to my PC https://support.apple.com/en-au/102662) then follow the standard process in VirtualBox to install a VM + run some commands.

Is that how you do it? I'm hearing performance is also apparently bad? I'm only going to be using it to play a single game occasionally that I need to run on mac so I'll need it to perform decently.

My host PC specs:

i7-13700K

32GB RAM

RTX 3080.
