And technically, it’s against OS X’s license agreement to virtualize it (same with the non-server versions of 10.5 and 10.6). Nobody’s really using it anymore because it’s so old. It was only bundled with the first Intel Macs before 10.5 “Leopard” came out in 2007.īecause of the way it was weirdly released, it’s not super common to virtualize OS X 10.4 for Intel. There wasn’t a retail copy of the Intel version of Tiger. Because the Intel version came out in 2006 after the PowerPC version had already been in stores, it’s kind of a weird release. It was also the version that Apple first used on its Intel Macs in 2006. Hopefully you found this informative, I found it interesting and thought I should share my experience.If you can believe it, Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” is over 12 years old as of this writing.
Alternately you can download BeamOff zip and do this yourself if you prefer.
The important option here is Version which is on the Options tab.
This rar file contains VMware prepped OS X files (vmx, vmdk) for use with VMware products. 6 GB), within this file is a file called Yosemite 10.10 Retail VMware.rar, this needs to be extracted to a location of your choice, preferably onto a SSD. It does a good job at showing the basic steps, however it doesn’t explain much along the way, I figured it would be good to break this down and explain it. I raked over some sites that stated it was not possible, I found that rather funny I mean how is it not possible doesn’t Mac run on Intel hardware nowadays anyhow? Then I stumbled on this video.
It had been an interest of mine recently to run Mac OS X on my powerhouse PC at home, but I wanted it to run as virtual machine. Whether I like to admit it or not they do make a highly polished quality product. I’ve never been a Mac fan, but I do have to say that our family does have several Apple products in our home, 2 iPads and an iPhone… for the kids and my wife.
