works fine on AMD 7950X & Nvidia 4070Ti. Thank you so much. This is the first tutorial I can install and run successfully. Remember, follow all the steps. If there are some errors or warnning, just restart the vm machine.
Great work! This is the only method that didn't result in a bootloop during install for me. Tested with macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 and OpenCore Patcher 1.3.0 on Ryzen 3700X and NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER and it still works. First I tried installing Sonoma 14.1 and it worked but I was unable to update it on the VM. So I used 14.3.1 to make the bootable USB and no quirks apart from the usual sluggishness and glitches. Similar to this video I used a Monterey on VMWare to make the bootable USB. Monterey on VM seems more responsive and less buggy.
This is really working on my Ryzen 7 5700G! - thanks for this fine how-to! One problem you will always have with MacOs on Vmware-PC: 3D/2D graphics acceleration does not work. Vmware has never implemented it. Thus, it does not matter which graphics-card you have - it won't use it. This leads in some problems you should know. E.g. youtube on Safari will hang - use Chrome instead, Apple Maps only shows a black window... etc.
Thank you!! Working in a 5900X + RTX 3090 + VMware Workstation 17.5.1. Performance is s****y as expected, but is surprisingly a lil better than with Monterey 12.7.1 VM, probably due to the modified EFI folder that Sonoma installation method has. Remember fellas, you need to PATCH the USB bootable AND the VMDK file as soon as you created and formatted the partition with the Disk Utility. I forgot the first one and had fatal errors while trying to load the installer (in 8:33). Too bad that it can't update from system settings-->software updates.
Thank you so much! Great video. I can confirm this works on a Ryzen 5950X and VM Player 17. I didn't use the OpenCore Patcher method. Instead, I downloaded Sonoma directly from the App Store and created a bootable USB stick using the instructions from Apple (from an existing Mac OS VM). I also skipped the Mount EFI step for the USB and only added the EFI folder to the new VMDK drive file. VM workstation is not required, it will work in the free VM Player. But only version 17 or higher. I could not get it to work on 16. Also, I was able to keep HW.version = 21. Thanks again!!
I installed the new version using an ISO that I generated on my Mac with the final version of Sonoma 14.5 and it worked fine, without a pen drive, I put the ISO in the VM's own DVD drive. AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor Thank you very much, I couldn't install it at all :D
can u tell me how u do i have acer Aspire 3 AMD 5000 series RYzen 7 AMD Radeon Graphics and i want to have the latest Macos i have accly 2 slot ddr4 one slot 16gb
It hasn't run any videos so far, I did the same steps as in this video and it worked. Thank you very very very much. I can edit up to serial and processor numbers. Ryzen 7 5800HS Laptop
Great tutorial, thanks! :) Can confirm it works on MacOS 14.2.1 as well. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 7950x and a 4090 RTX Note, I had to modify this vmx entry to make it work (the default value would crash the VM): virtualHW.version = "16" Video performance is really bad though, even after installing the tools. I get like 1 FPS if playing a video on RUclips, and anything graphics related is super slow.
I made the EFI from scratch specifically for AMD users. If you want to learn how to make your own, you can use the dortania's guide. It's a very difficult and complicated process, but achievable. Just Google for dortania's guide for opencore, then follow it. That was the guide I used too
works nicely on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X cpu btw you don't need to have native macOS install if you want to use OpenCore Patcher, you can use another hackintosh vm with an older version if you want
Do you know what version of VMtools you used? As you probably know, Broadcom moved things around and now Workstation cannot directly download VMtools. I found and downloaded v12.1.0 which is supposed to be the last version that works with Sonoma. I'm hesitating applying in case it blows my VM up. BTW, BIG thank you for this video. So far working great.
Hi @Howdy, I am running VMware on Ryzen 9 5900HX. Followed all the steps exactly. My VM freezes after a while. i have to restart it for it to proceed with a little progress and then it freezes again. then i restart it again, and it progresses a little and freezes again. Can you guide a little please? Right now the screen is frozen at: About 19 minutes remaining and even the mouse is frozen. Does not move at all.
Just installed!! But one question, how i can patch the install to avoid start always with the usb plugged in the PC. If the usb is not plugged in, the VM not works! Thanks in advance!
I get to the bootloader but it doesn't recognize my USB. Tried changing boot order but made no difference. Any tips? Or just try the installation process again?
Hi, in the process of installing the program gives an error [A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state. If this fault had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine to restart. The shutdown state can be reached by incorrectly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Workstation.] I did everything like in your videos, processor AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHz
Same issue here on 5900X + RTX 3090 + VMWare Workstation 17.5.1. The USB drive was flashed with the alternative method on Windows. EDIT: I patched EFI partition in the vmdk but forgot absolutely to patch the USB drive . With the USB drive patched, the installer went on (8:34) .
I did everything to a “T” after clicking install MacOS, ther verbose mode shows errors and it keeps showing the same error over and over so I had to force shutdown the vm. I repeated the nature step 4 times, same results.
Great. So... in "about" the processor is "unknown", and it will not allow you to download the 14.2.1 update. How do we update without reinstalling from scratch? And how do we download the new one in the first place, if the app store says it's not compatible, and won't download?
@@howdy3428 @howdy3428 checked it out. it doesn't say a thing about where to get the efi folder from, that you're supposed to copy and paste. I just used the one from this video to install sonoma 14.2.1, and now it just says "4 x 4.0ghz". No "intel" and no "unknown". Took quite a bit of time and several reboots, but ultimately, it seems to be working fine.
Thank you so much for this! 12 was the latest version I could run on my 7950x3d until this video. I had to jump through hoops to get Xcode to work with newer iOS versions on that. I must ask though… does this same EFI folder work on an Intel as well? Although I don’t have the Xcode problem on my laptop, since I can run Ventura on it, it fails to update to Sonoma.
@@howdy3428 funny enough, the upgrade failed with the installer I downloaded, but I made a copy of my VM on my NAS, then tried updating through system settings (which did a download instead of using my already downloaded installer), and that actually worked. So I guess I don’t need anymore help. I have Sanoma running on both my Intel Laptop, and my 7950x3D desktop. Thanks again for this tutorial!
I got it to work using this tutorial but it feels very laggy :/ even with 16 gb of ram and 6 processors added and with the VMware Tools installation inside the virtual machine. I think it will only run smooth if you use the Radeon GPU, I could be wrong.
If you have Nvidia GPU, it will work. The reason why @midnightlotus experienced laggy graphics is because of the absence of VMWare tools. Immediately you install VMWare Tools, you are good to go. Watch the video till the end.
@Howdy Thanks for the great tutorial... Everything went as expected... But macos keep freezing randomly... It freezes even when installing VMtools... But one major thing of freezing is when i move any app... Also freezes when emptying recycle bin. I have to keep restarting... after every 1~2 min... Please help!
This video tutorial itself was done with Ryzen 9 5900X. So i can confidently tell you that it works. Make sure you follow the steps correctly and don't skip any.
@howdy3428 One question, the "N" drive is left in "This Computer", can I remove it after completing the installation on the virtual machine or does it have to remain permanent?
Hi ! thanks for this excellent video ! I finally managed to install Sonoma on my Ryzen 7 1700 with Nvidia GTX !!! I installed it by following you previous tutorial, and I have the white background glitch and I'd also like to increase the number of cores like in this new tutorial. Can I simply patch the vmdk/efi again ? or it will brick the VM ?
awesome vid it worked perfect! Any way I can do this on virtual box as well. I exported my VM file and imported into virtual box but I get errors. Any workarounds or things I should be aware of?
Nice EFI. A trick you can do is to create a boot disk with only the EFI and set it as sata 0:0. Then you can use a standard installer ISO. That gave me some errors but eventually installed. I'm not sure if this is fixable, but using VMware CPU spoofing seems to break AVX2.0 (which is also why macos 13 and newer need opencore stuff on vmware AMD CPUs). I wonder if spoofing using opencore would allow using AVX2 in macos? It also seems to falsely claim support in some way. For example the stockfish mac app will use the popcnt version on my 12 vm but on 14 it will attempt to use the bmi2 version (which includes avx2) and crash.
spoofing avx2 is be possible, but we need to figure out a way. bc we can get avx2 working with opencore if we install macos natively and not in vmware. regarding the crash, most apps asume your computer has avx2 since apple dropped support for non-avx2 (pre-Haswell) macs with Ventura.
After spending hours troubleshooting why the performance is so horrble, I stumbled on the EFI doco for AMD systems, which speaks about needing to set specific parameters depending on the actual AMD CPU! This relates to core count. Can I ask what AMD CPU you used for your EFI? I'm not sure if that's the core issue: I suspect it's the sheer mass of ACPI errors indicating something else it wrong, possibly in the EFI? I know I did a "erase old EFI, then do not drag-drop, but use copy-paste" method.
I am running into a problem. While on the apple logo installing Macos, at one point it gets to a Mac os update assistance screen, and then it says that mac os update assistance has failed to update, and then a window saying "select a disk you want to start up your computer" came up, but there were no disk listed. There was also a restart button on that windows, but then it just says it has failed to restart. What's the problem? I'm using an amd ryzen 9 6900h.
This method successfully enabled Ventura to run on my 7950x. However, I can only set the CPU cores to 4 or below. When I try to increase it, it causes the VM to crash, and I'm not sure why. But still, thank you very much.
Hey! I was able to install Sonoma in VMWare on my laptop. It's Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 laptop, but Xcode is very slow. I allotted 4 cores and 8 gigs of RAM to the VM. Is there a way to make it faster? If not through VM, then is there a guide by you to dual boot sonoma on AMD? Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with AMD Radeon graphics RAM: 16GB
I was able to install it on my AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS after lots of tries but unfortunately its just too slow to use, i installed Vmware Tools + Given 10GB RAM + 10 Cores CPU but still the same. P.S i have iGPU maybe that's the reason?
Works, but very slow and sluggish on 5800X&3090 even after installing Tools (from latest auto-unlocker). Affects other apps, such as YT playback in separate browser, with stuttering sound and video, and mouse goes a bit wild. Also seems like I have to keep the boot USB inserted? From reading OpenCore doco, issues not unusual with nvidia cards, though some commenters sound like they have no issues? Any advice?

I was able to install it on my AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS after lots of tries but unfortunately its just too slow to use, i installed Vmware Tools + Given 10GB RAM + 10 Cores CPU but still the same.
P.S i have iGPU maybe that's the reason?
Works, but very slow and sluggish on 5800X&3090 even after installing Tools (from latest auto-unlocker). Affects other apps, such as YT playback in separate browser, with stuttering sound and video, and mouse goes a bit wild. Also seems like I have to keep the boot USB inserted? From reading OpenCore doco, issues not unusual with nvidia cards, though some commenters sound like they have no issues? Any advice?
Hi, I have a ryzen 9 7950x, while installing macOS progress hangs, in vmware.log I see this error
vcpu-2 DarwinPanic: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffffff8032898fec): No HPETs available...CPU(s) configured incorrectly
Is there any way to fix this?
ls. it possible to the same oo Linux?
yes
can you make a tutorial for linux (many errors happen, special daemon tools and mounting the vmware partition)@@howdy3428
isnt the vmware tools just making the vm laggy ? or it doesnt anymore ?
It improves your graphics experience and removes lag
@@howdy3428 hey, i've just installed sonoma with your tutorial, but when i try to install vmware tools i got "Could not find component on update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator" is there any work around?
can this work on AMD Laptop
Yes
@@howdy3428 Can i ask are u use the old macos mac montery on vmware
Everything worked till 9.05 minutes then it says About 18 minutes remaining and nothing changing waited an hour same screen showing not rebooting or installing. What will you suggestion ? I am using Amd Ryzen 9 7950x processor
Make sure you are using the EFI in this video description
It's worth buying an SSD and getting a Hackintosh, that way it has better performance and the blur of macos.
thanks bro
imma try this with intel arc and see what happens.
Waiting too
I don't have a mac laptop or similar
You don't actually need a mac, follow this method to create your USB on windows ruclips.net/video/ift3NaxV8yk/видео.html
Rx 6500xt
processor (5600X).
The problem is that in the final part of the installer, during the last restart before setting up my account name and the first boot setup, I get this error: "An error occurred preparing the software update". Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Additionally, in the last phases of the installation
It looks like you are not booting from OpenCore. Make sure you are booting from opencore.
Did you find solution for this?
ACPI ERROR: No Local Variables are iunitialized for method [_STA] No arguments are initialized for method [_STA]
Using Ryzen 3900x & RTX 3800
now it shows panic
Thanks Brother you are a life saver for this AMD bullshit.
the main reason people want vmware macos is that some people don't have a mac so I don't get your point here.... you might want to do a windows tutorial only and upload your stuff, dude
check the description he gave a video on how to do everything on windows
"how to run macos on vmware even though it doesnt work"
step 1 GET A MAC
LOL
lmao step 1 use a macOS to create a macOS bootable drive wtf
You can use windows to create your usb too, check videos in description
GenSMBIOS almost broke my entire computer. this tutorial is ass
Same happened to me.

Same here.
Did you found any solution?
right, that error comes up for about 10 minutes and then shows the apple to select the language.
@@averelldalton8409 thanks that worked however every time I reboot i have to wait until i get in because of these messages have you found a way to fix it?
create an iso for those who can't do this steps, it will help. Just download and install system. Please
