MacOS Virtualization using VMware
I had to fix a well known issue with running VMware on Linux - compiling your own kernel modules. This isnt much of a problem for seasoned users but for others it might be a deal breaker. This repo will save you hours of searching google.

VMWare Workstation 16 w/ Kernel 6.0.4
# From sabennett on VMWare Forum Second method (replace original tarballs): wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-16.2.1.tar.gz tar -xzf workstation-16.2.1.tar.gz cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-16.2.1 tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ vmware-modconfig --console --install-all In this case, last two commands require root privileges.

How to downgrade the kernel?
I'm on the same boat - the current Kernel (5.19) doesn't support the VMware Workstation (same build as player) - I believe kernel 5.17 works. This git page has helped me out in the past https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules

[question] iPod Touch 3G stuck in recovery mode and unable to restore. Anyone knows what's wrong? I turned it off and on one day and now it's stuck on recovery mode and i can't restore it
Or a VM (Virtiual Machine here are examples: VirtualBox and VMware) to install older windows versions. Maybe even macOS,but for that you need a patcher.

I am trying to make a macOS 13 virtual machine by following the tutorial from techrechhard. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work.
So in other words, you did it wrong. First of all, avoid .VDMK's, you never know what's in them, use an .ISO. Preferably one created on a MAC. As for your choice of VM, VirtualBox is total shit for running MAC on, use VMware instead. You'll need to install it, then run the unlocker tool found here: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker After that is done, create your virtual machine, but before booting, edit the .VMX file by adding the following lines at the bottom:
- MacOS in VMware?
- MacOS on VMware Workstation without Unlocker?

Best VM for running macOS
For me, Vmware Player ran the smoothest. For this you need the following, because virtualization of MacOS on non-MacOs devices is not supported by Vmware: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker.
- Battletech Pod Version 3.0 Server Software Archive

macOS Big Sur or macOS Monterey on AMD laptop?
VMware Unlocker: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker
