beda79 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi, i coulnd't find anything thru the search so i figured i might just ask: my cpu is a amd sempron and i'm pretty sure it doesn't support sse2/sse3, however i tried to install OS X thru vmware. It doesn't work cause it always says that the guest operating system disabled my CPU, so my question is: is VMWare able to emulate a CPU that does support sse2 or sse3 or is there no way to install OS X without a real hardware cpu that supports sse2 (even if it's in vmware)?

lord_muad_dib Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 no way... there's qemu that is supposed to emulate sse2, but calling it slow is not enough i don't call qemu an option Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66182-amd-sempron-only-sse-does-os-x-work-in-vmware/#findComment-473138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Give it a (sloooow) try with pearpc... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66182-amd-sempron-only-sse-does-os-x-work-in-vmware/#findComment-473162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yep, SSE doesn't work with OS X on VMware. But as others have suggested, you can try the excruciatingly slow method of using qemu or PearPC.
