To work around this, patch it using the EFI unlocker from GitHub. In the ’Settings’ dialog, click ‘Add Device’, select ’Sound Card’ and click ‘Add’įusion blocks the use of regular 10.6 (not server) in the EFI ROM.For destination, I put it in ‘Documents’ -> ‘Virtual Machines’ -> ’Snow Leopard’.In the ‘Virtual Machine Summary’, click ‘Customize Settings’.Operating system: ‘Apple OS X’ -> ‘Mac OS X Server 10.6’.For the installation method, select ‘Create a custom virtual machine’.Here is how I got it to work:įusion doesn’t officially support 10.6, only 10.6 server.

Installing Snow Leopard today in a Fusion VM is not particularly difficult, but I did find a few complications. I’m a big fan of Fusion as it allows one to test/experiment with all manned of different operating systems, without of course having to buy any hardware or risk breaking you main machine. Fortunately, at the time VMware’s Fusion product did allow running the prior 10.6 release, and I have relied on this more than a few times in the years since. As it happens, I did more or less the same dance nine years ago when Apple released MacOS X 10.7 Lion and remove the ability to run older PowerPC applications via Rosetta.

Eventually I will probably have to upgrade and resort to running my old software in a virtual machine. I am as result sticking with the prior release (macOS 10.14).

Last year’s macOS 10.15 Catalina release removed support for all 32-bit applications, including for example Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CS6. In this tutorial, you used it to create a CentOS Linux 8 virtual machine.When it comes to running older software on current systems, Apple has a pretty poor track record. VMware Fusion * is a desktop virtualization program that lets you run multiple operating systems on a Mac at the same time. VMware Tools makes the VM run faster and it let’s you copy and paste between the Mac and VM when using a desktop operating system.

Now that you have internet access, you can install VMware Tools with the following command: yum install open-vm-tools In order to make the adapter enable when the OS boots, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens33 file so that the ONBOOT is set to yes. Note: The network adapter will not be enabled after restarting the OS. You should now be able to ping Google: ping You can enable the network adapter by running the following command: ifup ens33 This is because the network needs to be configured. Once you login to the system for the first time, you will notice the internet does not work. VMware Fusion * installed on your Mac and have downloaded the minimal CentOS Linux 8 ISO.

VMware also gives you the ability to create snapshots, which lets you reverse any configuration changes to the operating system, at the click of a button. This is great, because you can test software on a machine similar to production without needing extra hardware. So for example, you can run Windows, Linux and FreeBSD and switch between them without restarting your Mac.
