Hi, 

 

I've not posted in a loong time here. But I come here today to say that I'm stuck! 

Since my Mac died and I have not access to some specific apps I need I thought to repurpose my Gaming / Developing machine to also run MacOS. 

I've tried this video since it explains everything really well, however no luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr2fQXgcb2U

 

My PC specs: 


Ryzen 2600

32GB RAM

RTX 2060S
NVME Samsung Pro (I think) 

 

THe issue I'm getting is this: 

2021-03-10T09:29:31.500+01:00| vmx| I005: Win32U_GetFileAttributes: GetFileAttributesExW("C:\Users\Username\Documents\Virtual Machines\macOS\macOS.vmpl", ...) failed, error: 2
2021-03-10T09:29:31.500+01:00| vmx| I005: Policy_SavePolicyFile: invalid arguments to function.
2021-03-10T09:29:31.500+01:00| vmx| I005: PolicyVMX_Exit: Could not write out policies: 15.

 

I've also attached the full log into the post. 

So, anyone has an idea If I can make this work? I would appriciate some input! 

Thanks!

I shall try this. thanks

There's an extra step required for AMD CPUs and no matter what you can only get 128MB of VRAM so its by no means perfect but it does work.

 

You can also run a Hackintosh on a Ryzen however there's no Nvidia GPU support for anything newer than the 1000 series (Pascal).

Do you have some tips on how to Speed it up and increase the resolution, currently the resolution is 1200x720 and I can not change it, any ideas as to how?
