![]() I generally don't ever shut them down but save the state, and I don't actually use them very often.Īnyway I recently rebooted one of them (wanted to reduce the memory allocated to the VM) and when I went to reboot, it hung at the 'boot0: done' stage. I've been running a couple of virtual Hackintoshes as described in this forum for a while now. Hello all, not sure if this is the best place to post but wanted to give some feedback on recent experiences. Thanks for the guide BTW, it was much appreciated. A custom resolution would be better, but this seems an acceptable workaround. The fonts are a bit small now, but you can increase them in quite a few places to compensate. "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "Sera" "GUI/ScaleFactor" 0.875 "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "Sera" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" 5 So instead I used the 1920x1200 setting scaled down: Also the fonts end up a bit large and there isn't enough pixel resolution. "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "Sera" "GUI/ScaleFactor" 1.15Īnd while it works, it's not all that sharp. "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "Sera" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" 4 I tried scaling up the 1440x900 setting like this: Given that it simply isn't possible to get a custom screen resolution to work with booting El Capitan or Sierra via EFI in VB, I had to decide what to do with my 1680x1050 screen (1.6:1 aspect ratio). I think that this is a Mac-specific problem as Win and Linux guests have guest additions. I'm inclined to report this as a VB bug, but first I need to replicate this on a Mac host rather than a Win host, or they'll ignore me. It's as if running the machine in a recent version of VB somehow does something to the install of Mac OS X in the virtual machine that can't be undone. But the fact that a downgrade of VB doesn't fix my problems suggests that it's more complex. The question is - is this a Mac OS X os issue or a VB one? The fact that you reported VMWare as having the same problems suggests a Mac OS X one. Moreover, if I downgrade to VB 4.3 and open that ML machine, the custom resolution doesn't work anymore - ML now has the same screen resolution problems. What is particularly frustrating is that I was running Mountain Lion in VB 4.3.30 and the custom resolution trick used to work. I've done a lot of searching and tried as many things as I could think of without success. EfiGopMode works but not a custom resolution. I've just used this guide to successfully install Sierra in VB 5.1.6 and have exactly the same problem. There might be old copies of Lion, Mountain Lion, and even Snow Leopard for sale on sites like eBay.For me VBoxManage setextradata "OS X VM" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" N works fine, but custom resolution (for widescreen) is not working, However, it seems there is a problem with ElCapitan, because VmWare has similar problems. Non-developers can buy OS X Mountain Lion ($19.99) and OS X Lion ($19.99) from Apple directly. Apple will email you an unlock code, which you can redeem in the Mac App Store. If you have a valid Apple Developer account, you might be able to download older versions from /downloads. This will put an installation app in your Applications folder, which you should leave there. Once any of these downloads are complete, mount the. Leave the installation app in your Applications folder.ĭirect Disk Image Links for Older macOS Downloads Once any of these downloads finishes, do not open the installer to begin the installation.
