jasper580 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi folks, So, here is the deal: I have a computer with VMWare Workstation 9 and a retail Snow Leopard image. The computer runs a 32 bits Windows 7 version, and the processor (Intel Core 2 Quad @2.33GhZ) is not supporting Intel VT-x. Is it possible to install my Snow Leopard in VMWare? Thx in advance!

jasper580 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 OK, let's make the question different: I know I can run OS X in VMWare 8, but after the update, my vmx won't start, saying you need Intel VT-x, what I probably patched in 8. Is that possible in 9, too? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286782-os-x-sl-in-vmware/#findComment-1893776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) If you have no VT-x the you do not run Lion/ML in Workstation - read this Edited March 3, 2013 by sebus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286782-os-x-sl-in-vmware/#findComment-1893782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper580 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I know about that. I have a Snow Leopard image ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286782-os-x-sl-in-vmware/#findComment-1893851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It is. You will have to apply a patch to "fix" VT-X warning. I've tested SL on XP(32-bit) host PC with Core Duo (32-bit only CPU) and VMW7. It worked, but wasn't fast, though... VMware 8 and up can only run on 64-bit CPUs. VMware 7 does run on 32-bit CPUs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Workstation Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286782-os-x-sl-in-vmware/#findComment-1893922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
