Test using AMD Ryzen CPU #33

DrDonk · 2022-06-27T10:37:48Z

I recently tested the unlocker on my son's AMD Ryzen based laptop (thanks Dan), and looking for others to try it out using a vanilla macOS installation, not one with an AMD kernel or patches. The unlocker cannot patch this but we can recommend settings for the VMX file that allows macOS to run on recent AMD CPUs

The CPU spec was: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx @ 2.60 Ghz

It ran when the following lines were added to the VMX file:

cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"

UPDATE
You must have Hyper-V disabled on Windows or VMware falls back to a mode called ULM. CPUID masking is not available in ULM mode as it is pushed to Windows for the low level VMX/SVM operations. You can see if VMware is in ULM mode on Hyper_V by searching the guest's vmware.log file for these 2 lines:

vmx IOPL_Init: Hyper-V detected by CPUID

Monitor Mode: ULM

Here is a link to a Microsoft artcile on disabling Hyper-V.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v

Editing the VMX file

Read this KB article to learn how to edit a guest's VMX file safely https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2057902
Add the following lines to the VMX file:

cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"
vhv.enable = "FALSE"
vpmc.enable = "FALSE"

Make sure there are no duplicate lines in the VMX file or the guest will not start and a dictionary error will
be displayed by VMware.
You can now install and run macOS as a gu

So looking for others to try this out and report back here with any details on success or failure.

Remove the following lines from the VMX file:

vhv.enable = "TRUE"
vpmc.enable = "TRUE"

DrDonk · 2022-06-29T12:14:05Z

Good catch on the vhv and vpmc flags which would not work on AMD. So that means we cannot have nested virtualisation or virtual performance counters, but they are usually not enabled unless really needed.

Avasam · 2022-07-24T04:18:47Z

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Installing macOS 11

In previous installs on VMWare 15 with a different unlocker I had to add a bunch more settings.
All I had to do here was add the aforementioned CPU mask

I was also able to transfer my previous VM by copying over the vmx content (with cpu mask) of a new machine (and updating the name).

DrDonk · 2022-07-25T16:06:01Z

Thanks for letting me know.

The guest OS doesn't even get to show me the Apple logo. I get a "Failed to start the virtual machine." Tried with both the vhv and vmpc flags set to TRUE or FALSE, no difference. I can post logs or the vmx file, just let me know what you need.

DrDonk · 2022-08-16T10:08:56Z

Thanks for the post. Can you attach the vmx and vmware.log file to a post please? It's tricky to see what works and does not on AMD, but I will see if there is anything obvious.

morphine00 · 2022-08-16T15:28:48Z

Here you go. For the record, if I don't have the cpuid... lines in the VMX file, then the VM starts up, I get an Apple logo, but then it the CPU is halted.

macOS 13 .vmx.txt
vmware.log

DrDonk · 2022-08-17T13:34:41Z

I think it could be because you have Hyper-V enabled and VMware falls back to a mode called ULM. I believe CPUID masking is not available in that mode as it is pushed to Windows for the low level VMX/SVM operations.

Can you try disabling Hyper-V and trying again?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v

morphine00 · 2022-08-17T19:51:50Z

I have success to report with the above configuration (macOS Monterey, VMWare 16.x, Windows 11, Ryzen 9 5900X), finally

The road to getting there was not easy, though. It was very difficult to completely disable Hyper-V in Windows 11. Here are the steps I took, and to be completely honest, I don't know which combination worked. The last thing I did was bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off but I don't know that was enough or if the other steps were required.

To check whether Hyper-V is truly disabled, run msinfo32 and the very last line should NOT read "A hypervisor has been detected..." You should instead see 4 lines of information about Hyper-V features -- yes, that's misleading, but that's what you should see..

Windows Features ->

Disable Hyper-V
Disable Windows Hypervisor Platform
Disable WSL
Set Credential Guard Off: from info in Microsoft's website, find the HCVI Readiness Tool, save it to disk, and run DG_Readiness_Tool.ps1 -Disable -AutoReboot
Settings -> Core Isolation -> Memory Integrity is Off
Open an elevated Command Prompt, bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

DrDonk · 2022-08-17T20:19:50Z

Good news. I know switching off Hyper-V can be a problem.

I will update the issue and the readme file.

Thanks for the testing and the feedback.

morphine00 · 2022-08-17T20:37:12Z

No problem. If you need me to do further testing, I can.

For the record, the VMWare Tools also installed just fine via the standard VMWare menus. Don't know if that was relevant to this issue or not.

AFAIK The tools should work just fine for Intel and AMD, but good to have it confirmed again.

I tried with vhv.enable = "FALSE", but it doesn't work either.

DrDonk · 2022-08-22T15:57:19Z

Currently not supported by VMware. There is one possible change as there have been reports of network adapter issues.

Edit VMX file and change

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"

to

ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

Codling · 2022-08-22T16:04:02Z

Unfortunately, I also tried this one, with no luck.

DrDonk · 2022-08-22T16:09:23Z

Ventura is hard resetting the CPU. No way I can see to sort that out. There are issues on Fusion as well.

New version of Fusion and Workstation on the way which may support Ventura but be aware VMware are dropping support for future macOS versions.

DrDonk · 2022-08-23T14:04:53Z

@Codling I think that VMware is masking out the AVX2 capability flag in the guest, and that is a new hard requirement of Ventura. I may be able to change the cpuid masks to force AVX2. However some bits cannot be passed thru and I'm going to have to check that out.

Codling · 2022-08-25T18:22:21Z

Thank you, @DrDonk! Can't wait to test this out. :)

DrDonk · 2022-08-27T11:01:50Z

@Codling I'm struggling with this and not sure if I have it figured out. Can you try Monterey out on your machine?

If you can please set the guest to output debug log using the steps from:

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/16.0/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-A438B4FE-8499-454C-BBDE-9299FCDFB455.html

That gives a complete cpuid dump and differences report. You could also do that on the Ventura guest as well.

I am going to be offline for 3 days so there's no rush, and don't worry if you are not able to do this. It may be worth waiting until Ventura and the next version of VMware products ships.

Thanks for the feedback. At this point I don't see a way of getting Ventura running. Looks like it needs something changing in the VMware core. Newer versions of products coming but as you may ahve seen VMware said wouldn't support future macOS versions. That may change but we will have to start getting used to the fact that Intel Mac is going and the journey is ccoming to an end.

The VM reboot when i try to use xcode's simulator. My CPU is amd R7 5800h (legion r9000p).
this is error log and vmx file:
vmx.txt
error-mac.txt

DrDonk · 2022-10-09T12:51:58Z

That is an invalid opcode panic and there is nothing I can do in VMware and the unlocker to fix this. Looks like there is code being called with Intel only opcode embedded in the executable, possibly in CoreCrypto. Best suggestion is to ask what to do in a forum that supports AMD Hackintoshes.

I will add note that Xcode Simulator does not work.

DrDonk · 2022-11-08T12:03:03Z

@z16166
Interesting. I think there are multiple issues happening with Ventura.

Older Intel CPUs were dropped and because VMware virtualises the CPU the Ventura guest is issuing instructions that do not exist both on AMD and Intel.
The SMC crash is interesting. Maybe the VMware virtual SMC implememtation does not have keys that macOS needs. There are supposed to be new versions of Fusion/Workstation/Player coming this month. Perhaps that may help.
Intel virtual ethernet card does cause problems so make sure to change:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"
to
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

I am going to write a note on how to capture macOS debug output via virtual serial port. May find something of use in that log.

So can you do 2 tests for me please? Do each one separately so can test each setting.

Modify your ethernet settings:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"
to
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
Modify the VMX file to have:
smc.version = "0"

Pity that I can't set vmx.buildType to "debug", because vmware will always core-dumped before booting to firmware.
So I changed vmx.buildType to "stats". Here are logs for above 2 conditions.

I am going to track this in a separate issue #47 (comment)

jerrywoo96 · 2022-11-19T16:58:27Z

I'm using a Ryzen 9 5950X
I have tested this long ago testing various configurations and reading through the vmware logs and cpuid wikipedia.
Since i need to use WSL, disabling the hypervisor is not an option for me.
So i started testing various vmx configurations.
Here's my findings.

To Add:

hw.model = "iMac20,2"
board-id = "Mac-AF89B6D9451A490B"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0011:0000:0110:1010:1001"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1111:0010:1101:1000:0011:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"
smbios.reflectHost = "FALSE"
vhv.enable = "FALSE"
vpmc.enable = "FALSE"
smc.version = "0"

To Add if missing or Replace if not 16:
virtualHW.version = "16"

cpuid.0.eax and cpuid.1.ebx is not needed.
I've also upgraded the cpu model from 55 (Bay Trail) to 58 (Ivy Bridge). Any models higher than Ivy Bridge (>58) is not working.

This is working for monterey and big sur, and if i remember correctly, with hypervisor enabled the last time i used it.
Not working on Ventura, constant reboots.
Currently my hypervisor is not working now as my hypervisor network adapters is bugged.

Do test if running this with hypervisor on is still working or not, as i'm unable to test now.

you can fix it by installing the VMware Tools.
Also are you running windows with hypervisor enabled?

I already installed the VMware Tools but performance did not increase significantly. Yes, I need to use WSL as well. So Hypervisor is enabled.

morphine00 · 2022-11-21T14:32:10Z

@jerrywoo96 thanks so much for your investigation. Now I can use macOS without having to disable the hypervisor and rebooting the machine. Performance is fairly slow but it's good enough for casual testing. Thanks!

If i remove the masking it gives me the Guest os disable the CPU

if anyone has ideas that would be helpful 🙇‍♂️

CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X VMware Player version: 16.2.4; using unlocker 4.2.2 Host OS: Windows 11 (22H2) Guest OS: macOS BigSur(11.6)

"Failed to start the virtual machine." error, like @morphine00 and did, then I disabled hyperv via:
Open an elevated Command Prompt, bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Windows Features ->

Disable Hyper-V
Disable Windows Hypervisor Platform
Disable WSL
But im still not able to get passed Failed to start the virtual machine.

remove all your current cpuids, add this.

cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0011:0000:0110:1010:1001"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1111:0010:1101:1000:0011:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"

change virtualHW.version = "18" to virtualHW.version = "16"

@hamsandvich You are still using Hyper-V as the the vmware.log shows that ULM is still being used. Please disable Hyper-V, it is the only consistent way to make his work.

(See https://github.com/DrDonk/unlocker/blob/main/TROUBLESHOOTING.md)

The current best settings for AMD are:

# >>> START <<<
# This spoofs CPUID as MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) - MacBookPro15,1
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"

cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"

@jerrywoo96 Thanks for the CPUID masks. I'll add the as alternatives to what I have already listed. Just FYI if you continue with Hyper-V enabled it will be slower than using VMware hypervisor and a limited set CPUID bits can be set. For example CPU vendor is not overwritten in the guest.

I'm now going to shut this issue.
