drdonk / unlocker Goto Github PK

I was wondering when will Unlocker potentially support Apple VGPU support? The reason why I am asking, is because the Darwin.iso only gets you up to 128 MB, when you can have more somehow. I wish you guys the best of luck and hopefully we can get a solution to "the new way to Hackintosh."

Is it safe?

Relock does not display a message when removing ISO images from VMware folder

I recently tested the unlocker on my son's AMD Ryzen based laptop (thanks Dan), and looking for others to try it out using a vanilla macOS installation, not one with an AMD kernel or patches. The unlocker cannot patch this but we can recommend settings for the VMX file that allows macOS to run on recent AMD CPUs

The CPU spec was: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx @ 2.60 Ghz

It ran when the following lines were added to the VMX file:

cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"

UPDATE
You must have Hyper-V disabled on Windows or VMware falls back to a mode called ULM. CPUID masking is not available in ULM mode as it is pushed to Windows for the low level VMX/SVM operations. You can see if VMware is in ULM mode on Hyper_V by searching the guest's vmware.log file for these 2 lines:

vmx IOPL_Init: Hyper-V detected by CPUID

Monitor Mode: ULM

Here is a link to a Microsoft artcile on disabling Hyper-V.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v

Editing the VMX file

1. Read this KB article to learn how to edit a guest's VMX file safely https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2057902
2. Add the following lines to the VMX file:

cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"
vhv.enable = "FALSE"
vpmc.enable = "FALSE"

3. Make sure there are no duplicate lines in the VMX file or the guest will not start and a dictionary error will
   be displayed by VMware.
4. You can now install and run macOS as a gu

So looking for others to try this out and report back here with any details on success or failure.

Any clue why? I have VMWare Workstation 16.2.1 as the version.

The installer can't continue.

Seems that the newest network driver is unavailable in macOS 13 Beta 1.

Unlocker Version 421

where is the unlock.exe under the env of windows

Hello Friend! For some reason your solution doesn't work for VMware Workstation Pro v16.2.1.18811642 and earlier builds of version 16. Why is this happening? A message about the guest operating system pops up. AMD 5950X.
smc.version = "0" presented.
I understand this message (The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.) is caused by VMware software? Does it depend on the mounted disk image?

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/81657

The vm is unable to boot. Any idea ?

Did your patch work for the new Vmware Workstation 17 PRO ?

thank you

New command or include in unlock the checks for various host capabilities that can affect the running of macOS in VMware.

1. Check ULM v CPL0 mode on Windows by looking for Hyper-V CPUID leaf 0x40000000 = "@microsoft Hv"
2. Check if pre-Haswell Intel CPU and warn no Ventura guests possible
3. Check if AMD CPU warn no Ventura guests possible

These would be warning messages during unlock and would carry on with the patches.

Hello,

I try to install MacOS big Sur on my VMWare player on Windows 10.
I have followed lot of different tutorials that are all the same, actually. This worked one time (the first time), but then when I deleted my VM and tried to create it again, the erase action systematically failed:

VMware Player unrecoverable error: (aioCompletion) // Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred.

I have full admin access on my laptop, so I guess there is some kind of "history" that is kept and that prevent me from using my disk again and erase it.

Would you have any idea how to fix that, please?

I tried:

Running everything as admin (unlocker and VMWare)
removing both unlocker and VMWare
Rebooting after having installed VMWare and Unlocker
etc...

But still the same error.

Thank you.

Steve.

Hi,

As previously mentioned in this issue ( #51 (comment) ) I've been trying to install macOS Ventura on the latest VMware Workstation Player on Linux on Arch ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-workstation ) and I used your patcher ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-unlocker-bin ) which worked fine, and patched the VMWare binaries.

I can successfully create a new VM choosing macOS ( up to version 14 ) as a confirmation of the patch and I can boot a macOS VM. Although upon using your Intel template and trying to boot the ISO I created using a genuine macOS machine on top of that said template, VMware shows up a screen like this after 30s of loading ( the progress bar moves while the Apple logo is on the screen ):

Any idea how could I approach this and provide additional logs?

Machine spec:
CPU: Intel i7-8550U
RAM: 8GB DDR4
SSD: 256GB NVMe
GPU: Intel UHD 620 + Nvidia MX 130
Linux Kernel: 6.0.11.arch1-1

As an additional note, running the same ISO, on the same machine, but using Windows 11 instead of Linux ( and VMware Workstation 17 patched with your unlocker ) works just fine.

Thank you in advance,
Julian

Looks like the Windows folder with the .exe's is missing from the download?

Hello. I wanted to try and install Mac OS X 10.9 for a trip down memory lane, but Mavericks seems to be the only MacOS that is giving me issues. I am able to install High Sierra and Mountain Lion successfully, but I can't even get to the Disk Utility screen with Mavericks.

Is there some additional configuration I need to do? All the other versions of macOS that I've tried seem to work fine and can get past the Apple Logo. Do I have a bad copy of the OS or do I need to change some settings? Any help would be appreciated.

    My mac ventura gets looped when booting vmware

Originally posted by @Ayushprtp in #62 (comment)

VMware will stop supporting new macOS versions as guests starting with Fusion 13 and the next version of ESXi.

This is documented at the VMware KB for Fusion:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/88697

And for ESXi:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/88698

This will likely impact Workstation Pro/Player as well. Currently the exact details of what make change are not clear, but it is safe to say we should look for alternative approaches to the unlocker.

everything else works great 🥇

Is the new WS17 supported?

Minor typo bug: darwin.iso copy fails because it is pointing at current directory, not parent directory.
On windows, running "unlocker.exe install" fails to copy darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso due to trying to copy them from the
./iso/darwin.iso
./iso/darwinPre15.iso
directories... Needs to be corrected to this instead:
../iso/darwin.iso
../iso/darwinPre15.iso

It looks like there is a common issue for systems wih AMD and older Intel CPUS. There is no library available for the system.

I will use this thread to track it, but currently do not have an answer to the problem.

New template VMs for Catalina to Ventura based on recent observations of different issues post-Ventura and Workstation 17 release.

This is not an issue. It's a request for help/documentation.

Is there a way of having a correct mac Serial Number and Hardware in "About this Mac" ?

Thanks

Do you plan to release version for vmWare Workstation 17?

vmware.log
[Please attach as a file and not paste into the issue. Thanks.]

If you run unlocker.exe, the script will succeed with everything except copying the darwin isos, due to reason in title.

If you manually copy the iso folder into the windows folder and run unlocker.exe, itll copy the isos correctly.

I need to know what this is
I came across it and I thought it was ransomware for a second

I'm not installing that!

..Golocker? lol, ransomware

Never saw this before, but since upgrading to WS 17 today and using the latest Unlocker release things go brain dead periodically and VMware does not switch out from the Mojave VM guest. If I persist the entire VMware GUI stops responding. After a few minutes it "wakes up" and finally switches.

I had previously been using Unlocker 3.07 with no issues at all. Should I revert? It's unclear whether that older version even supports WS 17, however.

UPDATE: This seems somehow related to guest resizing! After I resize the VMware window, the guest reverts to full resolution (everything too small rather than scaled) and the tab switching goes numb.

Pressing any key is invalid

Start a proper list of topics documenting known issues and workarounds.

I've successfully started to run Monterey Mac OS and Android Studio/XCODE flutter development with simulators but cannot for the life of me get physical devices to attach to the Virtual machine to run and test the apps ... where should I start looking ?
i might add that i used a vmware unlocker 3.03 previously and at least android was working but in attempts to get the ipad working android has stopped too for android studio no longer recognizes it ? thanks for any help and pointing me in the direction of any further information you might need to help me debug the problem ! Its a machine running windows 10.

When you double click either check, relock or unlock, it displays yes or no for admin privilege, then, shows the command prompt and ask you to press enter, after pressing enter, the prompt disappears and it doesn't unlock, check or relock the VMWare workstation. May you resolve this please. I attempted this on Windows 11 on the latest VMWare Workstation 16 Pro. Thank you.
