Suggestion: Snow Lepoard OSx86 for VirtualBox

[coop75]

Hi!

Would be nice with a Snow Leopard version of OSx86 that works in VirtualBox.
I was able to finally start a Snow Leopard OSx86 iso with EFI enabled in VirtualBox 3.6.1 so it shouldn't be impossible to get it to work.
Did not have the time yet to test which options to choose in Customize so it will install and work properly..
But I will inform later after more testing on how it goes, if it works and also survives after an update (if possible).

I dont know if this info helps?

This is from PCITools from Leopard in VirtualBox

Now that VirtualBox 3.2.0 is out it have better support for Mac OS X

[pippox0]

I read that support officianly only Mac Os X server guest because of Apple license restrictions.
