Lines just let it wait (for like 10-15 minutes) it boots up fine just takes a lot of time

Hi Howdy,
Excellent explanation and very good quality in the development of the entire process in this video.
Without using usb drive, directly Patching VMWare virtual disk and then on vmware workstation load the Sonoma iso image.
Perform three separate installations on Ryzen 3, 7 and 9.
The entire installation process was carried out on Windows 10 and 11. In all of them it works correctly.
Once again, congratulations for the clear explanation of the entire process.
Greetings.

When writing the installer to the usb, it writes about 0.16 mb and then just goes back to the main menu. The USB is empty. Do you have any clue as to why this happens? EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out, my usb was formatted in exFAT format. Changed it to NTFS and it worked, going to the next step now...

God must have sent me this video, using those cpu IDs actually got it running and before it would just say guest disabled the cpu. Posted 19 hours ago wtf

[FuroowHD]

increasing the cpu cores to more than 1/4 seems to freeze the pc...
on my macos12 everything worked fine so idk what the issue could be

also all my usb devices just disappread from vmware any fix? it just happened after a day with just the ram upgraded to 16gb

Good video, it worked for me, I would like to know how I can assign a serial number to the Mac.

[dcdc]

Does not work on a R7 pro 6850u. Bunch of errors.
ACPI Error: MEthod Parse/execution failed...
[PSTA] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
No Local Variables are initialized for method [_STA]

[Reflex_ed]

Does this also allow for iMessage and other Apple services? I know that you changed the Serial Number but is it valid?

[ProfessorLobo]

I get "In Memory Panic Stackshot Succeeced" when trying to install. Doesn't work for me.
