macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

Please look a few posts back, I made a utility that will download a copy from Apple for you.
Install macOS High Sierra in a VM using the .app in the screenshot.
When it finishes, open the macOS downloader .app in your new High Sierra VM, and Mojave should start downloading and installing!
However, the software is unresponsive, and won't respond on my MacBook Pro late 2011. If anyone knows how to get it working, that would be awesome, thanks!
This is good news for me. I'm going to try that on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1, I ran into the same gray screen problem with Parallels. That fact that it runs with your C2D means that sse4.2 is not a problem.
How would you patch the macOS install pre-installation or the files post-installation so that it would bypass the (/) symbol on something like my MacBook mid2010.
don't forget to install the VMware tools for full screen support and single window dinamyc resolution.
installed on a mid iMac 2011 / VMware 10.1.2

Would we be able to take drivers from a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and adapt them to older models?
Nether Mojave or Sierra (or High Sierra) will work on the Mac Pro 2,1. The latest Mac OS that you can hack to work with the Mac Pro 2,1 is El Capitan 10.11.6.
I have an imac 27 mid 2011 i7 quad core 3.4hz 16gb ram and AMD Radeon HD 6970M video with 2GB, then, can I upgrade to mojave with acceleration? Is there any tutorial? How can I install it? I am in osx 10.3.4
Guys, it's too early for tutorials. Mojave is early beta and accessible for developers only, so it's not easy to even acquire it. You can't install it on some officially supported Macs for now without some brain***king. Some people here are inspecting a possibility to run it (in normal mode) on unsupported hardware by changing kexts and doing other modification, but it's too far for conclusions. Please, be patient. Honestly, I wouldn't hope for an answer until first public beta and some time after. Even if it's possible to normally run 10.14 on blacklisted machines, some user guides will be available only for final release or latest betas (GMs). I have an unsupported iMac too and for now I personally expect no good news, bud will be glad for possibility to have Mojave, of course.
Stop asking for tutorials. We're nowhere close to being done yet.
Update:
Atheros WiFi driver added from 10.13, and fixed (iMacs)
USB 1.1 driver on Core 2 duo fixed (the OHCI driver was just gone) (maybe the source of kernel panic? not 100% sure)
Sound fixed on all computers
Started:
loading Nvidia gpu drivers (it's possible!)
AMD OpenGL (big breakthrough- Nvidia Fermi cards work natively without Metal already, so that is a big clue)
new LegacyUSBInjector (almost done)
Not done:
Nvidia OpenGL
instructions/installer/etc...
software update patch
Testing for bugs on all unsupported computers
Not yet:
Support for any computer which can't run High Sierra natively (i.e. that need High Sierra Patcher), including no AMD gpu patch for macpro3,1/etc, no backlight/sound/etc fixes, ... that will be in the old separate patcher

Oh my god, if you guys revive my MBA 13 2011... I've already installed Windows 10 on it, lol. Hopefully HD3000 will be able to run Mojave no worse than High Sierra.
Well in console, it shows that, whenever I try to run News app on High Sierra from Mojave. Just messing around with apps, if it requires Metal or not. I don't know much of these things you know.
pretty awesome dosdude1 parrotgeek1 Czo team! good luck!

Ok then I feel stupid. 
I thought I had all the dependencies on hand. Well I was wrong. Thanks.
[doublepost=1528539947][/doublepost]And that is IOSSupport has frameworks that require Metal, right?
[doublepost=1528541672][/doublepost]And libsystem_malloc dylib in Symbolication.framework is missing? I don't know What I am doing. Is it worth it to continue at this point?

Use this tool I made to download a copy of Mojave.
So now I got a copy of Mojave, the question is, how do I bypass the model check to install it on my 3,1?
