You need to replace the kernel with one that has SSSE3 emulation (see below), Grapher), this was resolved by replacing the kernel with a modified kernel that emulates all missing SSE3 / SSSE3 instructions (see below). Even though I could complete the installation without a hitch with my A8-5600K, a few applications consistently crashed (e.g.
#INSTALL MAC OS X IN VMWARE WORKSTATION ISO#
You can now boot from the ISO and proceed with the installation.ĩ. If your Hardware compatibibility is set to Workstation 9.0 (virtualHW.version = "9") or 10, you must also add the following line:Ĩ. (this will identify the guest CPU as an Intel Core 2 Penryn which supports SSE4.1)ħ. (this will identify the guest CPU as an Intel Core 2 Merom, and will help you avoid the 'The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Set your 'number of cores per processor' to 1 (the number of processors can be set to more than one). Create a new VM (select "Mac OS X 10.8" as the guest operating system).ĥ. Prepare an installation ISO from the untouched 10.8 (Mountain Lion) DMG using dmg2img.Ĥ. The installation should be pretty simple:ġ.

If your AMD CPU supports SSE3 and SSSE3 (and SSE4.1 for OS X 10.12): This guide details the additional work that is needed to run OS X 10.8-10.12 with an AMD CPU under VMWare. While most of the VMWare guest hardware is virtualized, the guest VM CPU reflects the same CPU features the physical host CPU has.
