(every minor update can crap the bed, every major OS release means a new VM needs to be built). I gave up on Hackintoshes (physical and actually) as an everyday driver back in 2017 when I realized how much work I have to put in to make them function well. The 2013-2017 MBAs (with 8GB RAM) the 2013-2016 Retina MBPs (16 GB RAM), the 2012 MacMini Server, or the Broadwell 27" iMac are all decent value props. If anyone has ran into this issue before, please let me know.Ĭlick to expand.I am not a fan of their newer stuff (their mobile line is meh, their MacMini has embedded storage, and I only like the iMac 27"), there's some value in buying used hardware. Unfortunately, it looks like something is preventing me from using it with a virtualized macOS. I purchased this card, because it's listed as compatible with Mojave. Under displays, there is no second screen or option to change it. Both remote access and the VMware console seems to want to use the VMware tools SVGA adapter. I even have a display emulator plugged into the back, but nothing changes when I access the VM remotely. I tested the passthrough in a Windows VM and it works perfectly fine, so I know the hypervisor is doing its job.
When I install macOS with the passthrough activated, it seems to only use the VMWare display adapter. However, the Radeon Pro WX4100 that I passed through doesn't seem to be working as expected.
Everything worked on the first try, including unlocker v3, iMessage, iCloud, etc. I followed these instructions: with great success. Yes, I know none of this is officially supported. This is my first virtual Mac, so I'm learning as I go.
