Darth Raizzar Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm rather new to this, and have been reading for weeks, anything I could find related to my issues i'm having with my VM of OS 10.85, or 10.9.5. Both are running great, I was able to figure alot out by editing the .vmx file, adding lines to achieve actually spoofing a Macbook pro I have. I have not been able to get the processor to show in either Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, nor the correct amount of ram slots, or show an "Internal" or "built in" display. In Mavericks, it's stuck in one resolution. 1024 x 786. My laptop i'm running on has a 10 gen 1.80 GHZ i7 10510U processor, and a 4k display. Although the VM functions great, and gets updates from the app store, just looking to finish the look of the real deal. I did install "Chameleon Wizard", which helped a little bit (haven't found any instructions on how to use it effectively), as I said all the changes I've made were seen through editing the .vmx. THANK YOU in advance for any help! Edited April 23, 2021 by Darth Raizzar too many pictures in post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naki Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Yes, I know t'is very old. But writing anyway! What is your Host OS, please? Did you install macOS Unlocker by BDisp on the Windows PC? DId you install latest VMware Tools into the virtual machine? Also, suggest against using older VMware Workstation 15.x, you should use latest 16.1.x instead. EDIT: OKay, I think I have the solution here! And your thread helped me reach it. The same issue has been plaguing me for the last 1-2 years -- ALL my other VMs had their resolutions working fine, i.e. older Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and up to latest macOS Catalina, Big Sur, and recently even current Monterey Public Beta. However, my Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks VM kept showing only 1024x768 and using only that, like it does for you. Fixed now! Powered down the VM (shutdown), then changed the Hardware level from VMware Workstation 15.x to latest, 16.x level. Now it works great, and uses my whole PC's display resolution i.e. 1440p aka WQHD! Hope this can help you. (You do need latest VMware Workstation 16.1.x to do this, and not older 15.x.) Edited August 1, 2021 by Naki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
