January 14, 20179 yr Hi, Guys. Just posting here so people can see as the guide for this I have posted in my original guide post for installing OSX with OVMF. This new method is super easy and quick not requiring you to even prepare install media! Link to the thread here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51915.msg530096#msg530096
January 15, 20179 yr going to try it tonight! any performance improvement in the vm vs the "old" way? I wouldn't think there would be....?
January 15, 20179 yr Author going to try it tonight! any performance improvement in the vm vs the "old" way? I wouldn't think there would be....? No no performance improvement but much easier to install! ..but the new method uses latest patched clover however. (all files needed in video description)
January 15, 20179 yr finished a basic install. zero problems. nice that the smbios is already set to 14,2 too! One of your upcoming videos should be about nvidia passthrough and if you can, tackle the issue with nvidia drivers, stuck mouse cursors, and black screens!
January 15, 20179 yr For those that used your old guide, any change to post how to upgrade Clover to latest ? I think very simple but would hate to screw something up.
January 15, 20179 yr Author For those that used your old guide, any change to post how to upgrade Clover to latest ? I think very simple but would hate to screw something up. yes download and unzip this one. its the newest 3974 but patched for qemu.Dont use the offical one its not good on qemu. Then just install package on the vm. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z7v9d2p89vb4pja/Clover_v2.3k_r3974_patched2.pkg.zip?dl=0

One of your upcoming videos should be about nvidia passthrough and if you can, tackle the issue with nvidia drivers, stuck mouse cursors, and black screens! It is planned as i use a gtx 750. Will be soon

Download the enclosed file referenced above inside the VM to be updated 2. Execute file Clover_v2.3k_r3974.pkg ------------ Ask as so many other files and config unsure if anything else needed to be tweaked. Thanks for all these BTW. they are very useful !!!
January 15, 20179 yr does auto Boot/Timeout work for you? It shows a being set, but regardless requires me to manually select which drive to use each time in clover.
January 16, 20179 yr Author does auto Boot/Timeout work for you? It shows a being set, but regardless requires me to manually select which drive to use each time in clover. Yes, it works fine for me but only because i made an error in the config.plist i uploaded You will need to open the clover configurator then goto boot section then put in the name of the boot drive to Macintosh HD (which is the name vmware gives the hd on creation). As i used the config.plist from my VM it was set for a different name for the boot drive, hence it isn't working on the auto. Sorry, i overlooked that. I have now fixed the config.plist in the uploaded files to reflect this
January 16, 20179 yr Great and easy to follow guide, thanks gridrunner. I managed to get a working Sierra VM with VNC (can't seem to get Splashtop to find/view) Do you know if it is possible to passthrough a USB keyboard/mouse and GPU like in a Windows VM? I have a MSI GTX 960 2GB and a Logitech keyboard/mouse combo, but I'm guessing these would be Windows only compatible?

January 16, 20179 yr Hi gridrunner, I am able to boot into Sierra using your instructions, however it is running about 10x too fast. After some google searches I think it has something to do with a wrong bus speed, but I don't understand how to fix this. Would be great if you could help me. Thanks in advance

You will need to download the nidvia osx web drivers for the card to function correctly. Also in the clover configurator make sure nvda_drv is checked Thanks gridrunner. That config worked and it booted through the GTX 960 - glitchy but working( as expected before drivers) I ran the clover config and ticked NvidiaWeb. I installed the following Nvidia driver: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/113889/en-us Unfortunately after restart I just get a black/blank screen and the Apple logo never shows. Is there anyway to rollback/recover back to not use the web drivers? Or do I need to start over?
January 17, 20179 yr Nice guide gridrunner! I used it to finally upgrade from Yosemite (been very busy). I thought I would share a few things with the community. I managed to get Virtio network working via https://github.com/pmj/virtio-net-osx/ 1. Download the install file https://github.com/pmj/virtio-net-osx/raw/master/bin/Virtio-Net-Driver-0.9.4.pkg 2. Install the file on your Mac 3. Shutdown the VM 4. Remove your old network from your config <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:20:30'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='e1000-82545em'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> 5. Add the Virtio code to your config under <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-netdev'/> <qemu:arg value='user,id=hub0port0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='virtio-net,netdev=hub0port0,id=eth0'/> <qemu:arg value='-set'/> <qemu:arg value='device.eth0.vectors=0'/> 6. Turn on your Mac VM and you should now have a virtio network (tested and working for me on 10.12 Sierra) Also, the same developer managed to get Qemu's usb-tablet absolute pointing device working (meaning your mouse will work in any VNC session) 1. Download the install file http://philjordan.eu/osx-virt/ 2. Install the file on your Mac 3. Shutdown the VM 4. Change the following code: <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/> 5. to: <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-tablet'/> 6. Turn on your Mac VM and your mouse should follow in unRAID webVNC (tested and working for me on 10.12 Sierra)

What transfer speeds are you seeing? The build in is horrible!(sorry, I'm a little excited by this since I"ve wasted too much time on it.)
January 17, 20179 yr I could NEVER get the to work! Going to try this tonight. What transfer speeds are you seeing? The build in is horrible!(sorry, I'm a little excited by this since I"ve wasted too much time on it.) I am getting my full internet speed (although I was with the e1000 driver) and somewhere around ~30 to 60 MB/s transfer speeds from unRAID to the VM and back (this doesn't completely surprise me because the hard drive the OS X VM lives on is an older spinner and I also have 2 other VM's running off of it as I tested.)
January 17, 20179 yr ok, how to get it to get an ip in my current range? i'm on 192.168.1.x and it's on 10.0.2.5 even manually assigning the ip/router in network settings won't show. In network utilities it shows the link active but 0 mbit link speed. Also, I can't ping the address it has set for itself. --edit it appears the "user" in the qemu:arg denotes it as an isolated range, using a virtual dhcp server. when i set it to "bridge" i get a helper error. internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: failed to parse default acl file `/etc/qemu/bridge.conf' 2017-01-17T03:05:40.642520Z qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev bridge,id=hub0port0: bridge helper failed after some searching the file listed needs the following added: allow br0 but I can' seem to find the file.... ¯\_(?)_/¯ --edit Sorry for soooo many edits. I ended up just creating the folder/file in the location listed using Krusader. it seemed to "work" as in, moved me along to the next error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: failed to open /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted 2017-01-17T12:34:22.184365Z qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev bridge,id=hub0port0: bridge helper failed I'm a bit out of element on this, but trying to dig around on the internet to find what I can. any help would be appreciated! ---edit after testing (vm still not in the same ip range as my server, but the private ip) produced the following results: smb to unRaid: ~30MB/s afp to unRaid: ~30MB/s smb to synology nas ~30MB/s vm hosted on a single cache disk, read/write to same cache disk. with the e1000-82545em i would get 30-40MB/s to unRaid, and about 70MB/s to the synology nas. side note: when using the same vm with a usb 3 to gigabit adapter, i saturate my read/write to the same cache disk on unRaid. hmm.....
January 17, 20179 yr Is there anyway to rollback/recover back to not use the web drivers? Or do I need to start over? I started over and have managed to get the GTX 960 video and drivers working great. I have strange thing though - when booting I have two smaller duplicate displays in the top left and top right quarter of my display with the Apple logo/progress bar, about halfway through the resolution changes correctly and fills the screen properly. Also I have no output devices listed under sound - I'm copied the Kext folder with the HDMI audio as in the guide, do I need to do anything special to enable the HDMI sound of the GTX. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for all your help. The booting with the apple logo is to be expected. This is because of the change you did in the ovmf settings for the resolution. That is to get the vnc working at a higher resolution. Because you are not using vnc that ovmf resolution is making it look like that when it loads. To change this just drop the ovmf resolution back to the original setting. I leave mine as it is so i can use vnc or gpu as it makes no difference to how it runs. Ok audio. Please try this file and install this way https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f39m1bew9uhyio/HDMIAudio-1.1.dmg?dl=0 mount the dmg open terminal type cd /Volumes/HDMIAudio then ./install.sh afterwards restart the vm and hopefully sound will work (this installs the kext not using clover)
January 17, 20179 yr To change this just drop the ovmf resolution back to the original setting. Thanks for the response. Unfortunately though neither seemed to work, ovmf resolution is set at 800x600 and the HDMI Audio installed fine but still nothing under output device after restart. Thanks again.

I am sorry your sound is not working. It can be tricky getting it working. Have a look at some hackintosh sites and see how people there got same card working. Yours being a vm makes no difference and you can try their solutions.
