My friend has a similar vintage Mac, which cost 3 times as much, and Apple cut her off from updates to recent Mac OS's. I am running Win 10 (free version) on an old laptop, vintage 2008. I've had many complaints about Microsoft over the years but at least they have a good legacy policy. I don't like Apple anyway, not the OS, which I know nothing about, but the company. I have looked for script files with an nsh extension but I see none in the ISO, or even in the dmg as viewed by 7zip.Īnyone familiar with this stuff and how I can explore it in depth rather than use stock vmdk images?
#Mac os x iso for vmware player install
That's a neat trick in itself but I am still perplexed as to which files it is mapping to get the OS install going.

I understand thus far that EFI does not require a boot loader and that it can map the macOS in an ISO file directly into memory. I am just being introduced to EFI bios and it seems in many ways close to that of DOS, and maybe Unix. Thus far, I have been unable to get VM Player to recognize the OS created by a conversion from mac dmg filer converted to an ISO file. I have a fairly in-depth knowledge of DOS/Windows under the hood and I am hoping to have a fairly in-depth discussion about how VMPlayer 14 and 15 boots a macOS system. I am trying to help a friend who has a mac by loading it on my VMPlayer, which I normally use for Windows apps. Hi.perhaps I am straying from the intent of this board by using a VMPlayer modified to allow a macOS install.
