[Tutorial] HOW TO INSTALL MACOS MOJAVA WITH A RYZEN CPU.

[Tutorial] HOW TO INSTALL MACOS MOJAVA WITH A RYZEN CPU.

This is how I managed to create a VM of Mojave with a Ryzen cpu:

My specs :

Ryzen 5 1600

GTX 1050ti

8Ggb of ram

First I dowloaded the Mojave version from this site (macOS Mojave 10.14.3; 18D109 (February 7, 2019) ) :

aHR0cHM6Ly90ZWNoc3ZpZXdlci5jb20vaW5zdGFsbC1tYWNvcy1tb2phdmUtdm13YXJlLXdpbmRvd3Mv

(decode it)

VMware 15 from :

https://www.vmware.com/

The unlocker from :

https://github.com/DrDonk/unlocker

I followed the basic installation from this site (techsviewer.com) :

⠀ 1. Install VMware 15 and don't run it yet.

⠀ 2. Extract the unlocker-master.zip file and launch in administrator mode the win-install file and let it do his thing.

⠀ 3. Launch VMware and create a new VM :

  • Install the operating system later;
  • Select Apple Mac OS X then macOS 10.14 (if you don't see macOS u failed the unlocker part);
  • You can change the VM machine name and the location (I personally did not);
  • Choose to store in a single file;
  • Click finish;

⠀ 4. Edit the VM :

  • In the memory tab select 50% – 65% of your RAM (in my case i did 4GB);
  • In the processor tab select 50% - 70% of your CPU (I recommend 50%);
  • In the USB controller tab choose the [b]USB 2.0[/b] in the USB compatibility part ! (you can't use mouse and keyboard otherwise);
  • Remove the Hard Disk(SATA);
  • Add a new Hard Disk -> (SATA) -> Use a existing one -> Locate the macOS Mojave 10.14.vmdk (from techsviewer.com);

⠀ 5. Now edit the .vmx file in the folder you chose previously in part 3.c ( per default it's *User*\Documents\virtual machines\.).

  • Open it with a text editor ( Notepad from your pc will do the trick, you can dl Notepad ++ if it doesn't);
  • Now it differs from the site : I added the following lines (at the bottom of the file) in order to make it work :

smc.version = "0" cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111" cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110" cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001" cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001" cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000" cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011" cpuid.1.edx = "0000:1111:1010:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111" featureCompat.enable = "FALSE" 

I also changed one line (the 3rd one) from :

virtualHW.version = "16"

to :

virtualHW.version = "10"

  • Save the changes;

⠀ 6. At this point your configuration should look something similar to this :

⠀ 7. You can now launch the VM and start following the Installation.

To be fair, I don't really know what made it work, I was only looking for a way to make it work, and it did so I'm not complaining.

I won't really able to help you with any of this, hope it works for you too.

Sorry if I made some mistakes or wasn't very clear,
