Thanks to weiphone and pcbeta.

This allows us to experience apple with less silver.

Installation preparation:

Hardware: a PC with a 64-bit dual-core processor supporting virtual technology and 2 GB memory or above.

It is not clear that Baidu can find the CPU-Z query ..

Recommended Configuration:

Viewing machine: Not very useful for viewing

CPU: Intel I3 (amd cpu not supported currently)

Memory: 3 GB (the memory runs slowly when it is small, so there is no virtual significance)

Hard Disk: 10 GB

Operating System: XP or win7

Production Machine: Make good use of Mac

CPU: Intel i7 (portable)

Memory: 8 GB

Hard Disk: 100 GB

Operating System: win7 x64

MAC for VMware patch and driver:

Installation tips:

First, you must learn to use VMWare, at least to create a virtual machine and to mount a CD ..

Sharpen the knife to cut down the worker without mistake, first learn to install windows and then go down.

1. You must use the MAC for VMware patch to crack VMware.

If you have patched VMware to create a VM, you can select the apple type.

When creating a VM, You must select Apple

Then select

Snow Leopard: Mac OS X Server 10.6

LION: Mac OS X Server 10.6 64-bit

Lion only has 64 bits.

2. the VM needs to enable the VT option of the CPU in the BIOS of the motherboard.

Vt: http://baike.baidu.com/view/273621.htm

By default, VTS are not enabled for a laptop. You need to manually enable the vt.

3. the VM patch for win7 patching must be "Run as administrator"

In addition, VMWare is required to install a C drive. It is easy to install a VM patch for Windows. Run the BAT file and shut down VMware before running it.

4. Suggestions

Set the optical drive to SCSI mode.

System installation:

If the installation system does not get a tutorial on the Internet, it is actually very simple. You can use the disk tool in the menu to erase the hard disk and perform the next step (the hard disk is not formatted in Apple)

After installation, you must install the audio/video driver and vmtool.

For those who have never used Apple, the following message is displayed: in Apple, the Virtual CD image is DMG. You can double-click it to directly mount it. Directly double-click the installation package PKG.

For example, if you want to install the video card driver, load the ISO in VMware, find vmsvga2.pkg, and double-click it.

To install a sound card driver, you must first shut down the Virtual Machine and add a sound card to VMware.

Audio Card Driver I use vmdrives directory, ensoniqaudiopci2.mpkg

Aboutthismac is used for lion.

Snow Leopard has the following problems:

Install the system without any problems

However, when the VM is started

"The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point ."

Solution:

Shut down virtual machines and Vmware

Find your virtual machine directory.

Find a. vmx file.
Use a tool such as NotePad to open

Add this

Cpuid.1.eax = "0000: 0000: 0000: 0001: 0000: 0110: 1010: 0101"

LION:

Shutdown directly to five countries (dead)

Solution: powerless .... The solution is to use VMware suspend (to suspend a virtual machine), just like the iPad )...

The following describes the highlights of virtual box simulation.Speed problem, not recommended

When starting a VM, You must select:

Extended features: Enable Io APIC
Extended features: Disable EFI

Enable hardware clock in UTC time
Enable absolute pointing device

Then you can install it like VMware.

Shut down virtual machines and virtual boxes after installation

Find your virtual machine directory.
Edit this file *. vbox and add it to the <extradata> field.
<Extradataitem name = "vboxinternal2/smcdevicekey" value = "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal (c) applecomputerinc"/>

I find that the startup speed is too slow and I don't want to worry about it anymore.

Experience:

10 million keep in mind that virtual machine drivers do not support 3D, so flash cannot run ..

2 compared with Linux, the most commonly used software in windows, such as Photoshop, office, Firefox, and AutoCAD, has a Mac version. There are also some attacks. Go to the Internet and find them. I am too lazy to pass on them.

3. A lot of Apple's own software requires 3D acceleration, so don't worry about it for the moment, but the ipage does not seem to need to be able to run.

In the end, if you want to chew fruit well, you can buy a real machine. In addition to surfing the Internet, don't forget to ask your sister to ask for a Mac Book Pro )...

VMware Workstation 8 usage:

Directly install VMware Tools 8 for Mac without the need to install a graphics card Sound Card Driver

This is an official driver, and the effect must be good.

Download vmtool for VMware 8

Let vmware workstation 8 support the Apple system:

Choose File> New> Virtual Machine to create a virtual machine. Select FreeBSD 64-bit when selecting the operating system.
After creation, you need to find a virtual machine with the extension. vmx file, open with notepad, find guestos = "freebsd-64" line, change the freebsd-64 In the quotes to darwin10, change to guestos = "darwin10", save the modified file.

In this step, the operating system version is displayed as Mac OS X Server 10.6 and/10.7 In the options-> General options of the virtual machine. If it is still displayed as FreeBSD 64-bit, you need to turn it off and restart VMware.

Darwin10-snow leopard (10.6)

Darwin11-"lion (10.7)
