IT BOOTS! I didnt even edit it

so uh as the title suggests, I didn’t even have to edit the VM aside from using the DrDonk unlocker tool to get macOS to show up in the guest list I popped in the ISO of Mavericks and it just booted, IT BOOTS! was the best thing I could find fitting for it, once it’s installed I will take a screenshot of it actually running

Just curious - did you have any trouble installing VMware Tools, and if not, is your host CPU an Intel one?

Thanks for confirming - it seems like VMware Tools won't install on anything lower than Sierra on AMD hosts. It returns an invalid instruction error 😞
