MattsCreative Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 so first thing you need the main image or a pre-made 10.8 or 10.9 something make sure you have smc.version = "0" in your vmx configuration or else it won't boot min 2gb's of ram and 2 cpu's .

microapple200 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Have you tried VM tools 7.1.1 ? I balked at the 'this version is incompatible' message. "In order to completely install the VMware Tools, without problems (and without error messages or unexpected quits): 1. Open the OS X 10.11 VM's Terminal and do this command: sudo nvram boot-args=rootless=0 ... and quit the Terminal. 2. Reboot the OS X 10.11 VM. 3. Mount the darwin.iso 4. Set the Tools' window to list or column view (El Capitan's icon view, doesn't seem to work in Workstation, currently). 5. Copy the Tools installer to the VM's Desktop, and eject the Tools' mounted disk image. 6. Run the Tools installer: it should proceed without problems, this time. 7. Before rebooting, open again Terminal and do: sudo nvram -d boot-args ... and quit the Terminal. 8. Reboot the VM. (As an extra safety, one could reboot the VM directly after the Tools install, and execute the last Terminal command after the reboot, and then of course reboot the VM again: but probably this isn't needed.) Once installed correctly, everything seems too work, with the Tools..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graebags Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hey, thanks alot for the advice. I still got a "install failed" result, but clearly at least graphics succeeded. EC fits to window now, and runs fullscreen. It runs much smoother overall than before, though sits and thinks sometimes before openning apps, lol. Thanks again.

derchris Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Doesn't need 2x CPU. And I also don't need the SMC modification. Mine is currently running on ESXi 5.5 with 1x CPU and 2GB memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can we use this nvram thing on hackintosh to modify system files? Nvram sometimes is used for add boot-arguments. And for add values for enable iMessage/FaceTime. But what kind of system files you want modify with Nvram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
