Installing Mac OSX Mavericks in Virtualbox using an unaltered ISO.

Описание

After looking at most of the videos that show how to install Mac OSX Mavericks in Virtualbox, it seems that they all suggest using a copy of a Niresh OSX Hack of Mavericks. Niresh Hacks are actually modified installers that include support for a wider range of hardware and would normally be used to install a Hackintosh.

This video shows how to install an unaltered copy of Mac OSX Mavericks in Virtualbox. The real difference is that the Virtualbox hardware environment is setup to support the unaltered software installer rather than the altered software being setup to support the existing hardware configuration. There are very few differences between this Virtualbox setup and a setup on Apple hardware.

The setup was done on Virtualbox 6.1 and all the resources are included to do the install. The video just assumes the user already has properly setup and working copy of Virtualbox installed on their system.

Modifications that need to be done prior to installation include the following for Windows systems. Either copy and paste into a command prompt or they might work in a batch file:

rem Change the the "Mavericks" name to match whatever name you specified in VirtualBox
cd 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\'
.\VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "Mavericks" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
.\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,31"
.\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
.\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95"
.\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
.\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

After the installation is completed and the system is not running, you can try to change the serial number with the following:

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"
VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Mavericks" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "SERIAL_HERE"
