Posted November 19, 2017 Im not asking for help how to pirate I already did that. OK so I finally got a MacOS 10.12 VM going in Vmware Pro. Couple of questions: 1. How can I get it to use my GPU not shit onboard graphics? Its really laggy and not up to apples quality. 2. How do I change the resolution?

Posted November 19, 2017 All that stuff has to be handled inside VMware. I don't know anything about the program but I do know you need drivers for whatever GPU you have. Apple uses a select line of AMD GPUs and the Nvidia Drivers are crap for macOS.

Posted November 19, 2017 I think this falls under Hackintosh which is against the Community Standards. I know there’s VMware Tools for MacOS. It’s available from many YouTube videos. Google Cat and Andrew. They’re videos are really helpful. Otherwise we can’t help. Oh, and one thing, the graphics acceleration will never work right. It simply doesn’t work in a VM.

You can send me a message about MacOS VM stuff, I’ve messed with it quite a lot.

Posted November 19, 2017 Apple's ToS state you have to run Mac OS on Apple hardware, so if you're virtualizing on Apple hardware then that is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's clear that you're not, correct? I see no mac in your specs, and the fact you had to "pirate" Mac OS tells me you don't have a real mac.
