[INFO] ML DP1 & GM runs within VMware Fusion v3.1.x

[Mr. Retrofire]

So you do not need VMware Fusion v4.x.x.

ML DP1 is faster than 10.7.3. VMware Tools work fine (no kernel panics). See screenshot below!

works in Parallels as well -but sadly airplay DOES NOT WORK IN PARALLELS!!!

...sadly airplay DOES NOT WORK IN PARALLELS!!!

AirPlay requires AirPort hardware support.

Any tips on how to get working with VMWare Fusion 3.1.3?
Booting produces...

"Still waiting on root device"

any tips or instructions to get it installed? i'm getting a circle slash symbol every time i've tried with a few different setups.

Would also like to know. I have Fusion v4.1.0 and it won't install.

You need at least three things on the installer disk and on the installed version of Mountain Lion (with the correct access permissions):
- ServerVersion.plist in CoreServices
- AppleSMC file from AppleSMC.kext/Contents/MacOS/ (from OS X 10.7.3)
- AppleLSIFusionMPT file from AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext/Contents/MacOS/ (from OS X 10.7.1)

Btw, Mountain Lion GM runs within VMware Fusion v3.1.4 (host-OS: Snow Leopard). Some system preferences are buggy and logout/login does not always work.

That's interesting.

I have v4.1.3 installed on my Mountain Lion machine (stock 2009 Mac Pro with 6GB of RAM) and 10.7.4 ran pretty smooth as a VM.

I don't understand apple if it runs fine in a VM why wont it run on the older macs , apple is just forcing people to upgrade there computer . I do not believe them when they say they want it to be a good experience .

You could install all the way from os 9 to tiger on a imac g3 . It makes no since and apple is forcing people to upgrade there computers when they can run mountain lion perfectly fine and at a reasonably fast speed .
