    Configuring minimal VM on new MBA M2

    MP 1,1-5,1 Successfully running VirtualBox 7.0 on CMP 5,1 with Linux

    In an earlier post I noted I ran VirtualBox 6 on a CMP 5,1 running Monterey - installed using OCLP. See . The Windows 10 VM is installed on its own SSD. Now several posts on this forum said VirtualBox 7 did not run on the CMP 5,1 (running MacOS?) because the "system" did not support the...

    Installing High Sierra on a flashed SSD that won't boot High Sierra

    So I bought a larger capacity SSD for my Macbook Pro 2015, but unfortunately it is flashed to only be able to boot Catalina or later. Try to install Mojave or earlier by clone off an external drive, it will fail to boot. I'd rather boot internally without having to swap out my SSD. I was...

    Has macOS become a useless platform for virtualization?

    So, I've had a frustrating weekend. Decided to setup a Linux VM in two different hypervisors - VirtualBox naturally since its free. Didn't work as seen in the screenshot below. The issue was not specific to Linux itself, which I initially thought it was. The problem affects existing Windows VMs...

    Virtualise Catalina

    Hello, I'm a registered developer with access to the Catalina beta. I'd really like to test SwiftUI etc, but can't afford to jeopardise my main prod Mac. Is it possible to directly download the beta and install in a VM running on top of macOS Mojave?

    Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on a Modern Intel Mac (Virtualization)

    There are many ways to emulate a PowerPC Tiger system on modern Intel systems, but virtualization options for (Intel) Tiger are few and far between. VMware Fusion *can* run the Intel version of Tiger Server if you can tame it (10.5 Server was the first officially supported virtualized Mac OS X)...

    Sierra - Is it safe to make soft links in /

    I run various lnux Virtual Machines on my macbook for different purposes. Sometimes I write scripts that work on both MacOS and Linux. Its not essential and easy to get around (testing uname) but its pretty neat to write scripts that just work without conditional code for each OS. On my linux...

    Mac mini alternatives (macOS in VM on Apple and non-Apple hardware)

    I am thinking of upgrading my old macmini-2011, but apparently Apple is not on a hurry to offer their customers an updated Mac mini model, worth considering (6th/7th generation i7 4c/8t processor, up to 32GB user-upgradeable memory, Thunderbolt 3). Naturally, I still hope that this sad...
