MSoK Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks to Sam's great detective work I can confirm that last piece of the puzzle has been found for ESXi 6. I will work on the code now to add the last patches into ESXi 6. It will be a couple of days, and likely the weekend before I can get this all done, due to other commitments. Attached a screenshot for your viewing please. And once again thanks to Sam for his work on getting this working. Donk / Sam, Congratulations, as always if I can be of any assistance with any final testing or checks, let me know. MSoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Cornford Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I know I'm late to this thread, but I just want to say thank you in advance of the ESXi 6 patch release - this will be really useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skels130 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I also would like to throw in a huge thanks to all the devs who are working on ESXi 6 compatibility. I updated ESXi to 6.0 the day before I had the bright idea to throw OSX in a VM. I'm ready to help test if needed, but my coding skills are for {censored}.

sofakng Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This is fantastic news! I'm running ESXi 6.0 in a home lab, so I would be more than happy to test out if you wanted. Great work guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donk Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Released 2.0.5 see the main topic on unlocker 2. New release on its way with, wait for it, vCenter compatibility. Once again thanks to Sam B for finding the place to patch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donk Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Released 2.0.6 today, see the main topic for links. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advocate_HF Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Released 2.0.6 today, see the main topic for links. Nice. Just to clarify, if you create a v11 VM in vCenter it still PSOD's ESXi? Or does this only apply to creating a Guest VM that's OSX and v11 hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does this only apply to creating a Guest VM that's OSX and v11 hardware? Sam B and myself found that it was OK and did not crash on ESXi 6 and also Workstation 11.1.2 on Linux. Still bombs out on Windows. Give it a go and let me know if you can confirm our observations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubyducky Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Really nice job!!! One tip, "beamoff" works wonders at improving graphics performance in Yosemite. Using the new VMRC for access, performance is almost the same as a real Mac! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besweeet Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It's definitely a must-have. Works perfectly in WS11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Background: I've been using this for several years now. I can't get my job done without it. (Well not without plopping a Mac on my desk). Praise: The spectacular work on this project has made my work MUCH easier. Question: I'm not sure when Workstation 12 dropped, but has there been any talk about Unlocker for it? Thanks!

trungpt Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 A new wave of VMware Products is out today. Hope that there will be news from Unlocker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTagy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Looks like 2.06 works just fine. @Donk: FYI, the 2.06 installer calls itself Unlocker 2.05 EDIT: You may find that the new darwin.iso may fail on installation. I had to uninstall then install VMware tools fresh to get it to install right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 A new wave of VMware Products is out today. Hope that there will be news from Unlocker too. I have only had time to test on Workstation Pro12 n Windows, but it is all working for me. You still need to do the smc.version = "0" change. Looks like 2.06 works just fine. @Donk: FYI, the 2.06 installer calls itself Unlocker 2.05 EDIT: You may find that the new darwin.iso may fail on installation.

Thanks I rushed 2.0.6 out just after 2.0.5 and obviously missed a number change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
