*With exception, the following CPUs are not supported: GNU/Linux with NVIDIA drivers that support OpenGL 4.5 and above.For Linux hosts, AMD devices are not supported.For Linux hosts, the latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers are required.For Windows hosts, a GPU that supports DirectX 11 is required.Minimum Requirements to Dark Theme support on Workstation Windows Host Operating Systems:įor 3D Hardware Accelerated Graphics Support: Minimum Requirements to Run Container Runtime on workstation Windows Host Operating Systems: Please refer to vendor's recommended disk space for specific guest operating systems.Additional hard disk space required for each virtual machine.1.2 GB of available disk space for the application.Note that Windows 7 hosts are no longer supported, Workstation 16 will not function on them. VMware Workstation Pro and Player run on most 64-bit Windows or Linux host operating systems: 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM or more recommended.A compatible 64-bit x86/AMD64 CPU launched in 2011 or later *.For more detail, see our System Requirements documentation. Yergen also cited this post on virtualizing OpenCore and x86 as helpful in their work to get macOS working on the iPad Pro.VMware Workstation runs on standard x86-based hardware with 64-bit Intel and AMD processors, and on 64-bit Windows or Linux host operating systems. These Virtual Hackintosh systems are not intended to replace the genuine physical macOS systems. My aim is to enable macOS based educational tasks, builds + testing, kernel debugging, reversing, and macOS security research in an easy, reproducible manner without getting ‘invested’ in Apple’s closed ecosystem (too heavily). Just last month, Corellium won part of the lawsuit. This is similar for macOS to what Apple took Correllium to court over with the latter offering iOS virtualization. You may also find this ‘Announcing Amazon EC2 Mac instances for macOS’ article interesting. Gabriel Somlo also has some thoughts on the legal aspects involved in running macOS under QEMU/KVM. Please review the ‘Legality of Hackintoshing’ documentation bits from Dortania’s OpenCore Install Guide. Due to these reasons, the OSK string is freely included in this repository. ![]() I am not a lawyer but it seems that Apple’s attempt(s) to get the OSK string treated as a trade secret did not work out. It is also included in a public court document available here. ![]() The “secret” Apple OSK string is widely available on the Internet. Notably, Kholia who posted the OSX-KVM resources on GitHub notes in the README that they are looking for help documenting the process of “running macOS on popular cloud providers (Hetzner, GCP, AWS).” It’s possible this example of macOS Catalina running on iPad could be a cloud-based Virtual Hackintosh.Īs for the legality of all this, Kholia shared the following: KVM is an open source Kernel-based Virtual Machine utility built into Linux.ĭescribed by RedHat: “Specifically, KVM lets you turn Linux into a hypervisor that allows a host machine to run multiple, isolated virtual environments called guests or virtual machines (VMs).” Yevgen is using the UTM app to run virtual machines on iOS devices, then has employed a process to create a virtual Hackintosh with a method shared on GitHub called OSX-KVM. Notably, this isn’t a method of running macOS Big Sur on the iPad Pro’s A12Z ARM chip. On YouTube, Yevgen Yakovliev shared an almost 40-minute walkthrough of what appears to be macOS Catalina running on a 2020 iPad Pro. Interestingly, a video of an iPad running macOS has just surfaced as the latest virtual Hackintosh. Now a new type of Hackintosh appears to be gaining some traction that may be useful for research and educational purposes, virtual Hackintoshes. But as Apple only wants its software to run on its own devices, it’s become more difficult over time to actually use them as functional machines. Hackintoshes – PCs tweaked to run macOS with workarounds have been around for a while.
