midix Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I am looking for a OSx86 which can be run on VirtualBox or VMWare Server. Unfortunately all the tutorials I stumble upon require VT-x to be available. Some tutorials are even worse - they assume that I have VT-x and do not warn me that this tutorial will not work without VT-x/AMD-V. The processor of my computer supports MMX, SSE (1,2,3) and EM64T but no VT-x. For now the only way seems to grab some older version of OSx86 but I still hope someone will suggest something newer for a computer without VT-x. I'll be grateful for a link to some tutorial which shows how to get the latest possible version of OSx86 working in VirtualBox or VMWare Server/Player. I prefer Virtualbox, it's lighter on system resources. Later: well, just tried 10.4.8 JaS on VirtualBox but no luck: it booted EFI Sell 2.10, threw out a list of devices, said to wait for startup.nsh to run and then just hang on Shell> prompt forever. I tried setting CD mode as SATA, tried IDE, tried host mounting with pass-through - the same results. Tried on VMWare Server 2.0 - it just said: com.boot.apple.plist not found. Will try VMware Player now.

ifrit05 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Try this!http://www.google.com/search?client=safari...-8&oe=UTF-8 That google search link points to guides for Lion, which STILL requires you to have VT-x supported/enabled (due to it being a 64-bit OS). Tiger and Leopard are the only ones that you can try if you don't have VT-x.

Gringo Vermelho Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 For better performance, install OS X on your PC and run Windows in a virtual machine. Seriously.
