I have a Yosemite iso, but no Mac.
I need to get OSX on a VM or Intel/Nvidia PC.
Any ideas?
Virtualbox on Broadwell Windows laptop:
Let's say that "oldcpu" = tricking OSX into thinking it's on an older CPU. "VBoxManage modifyvm "OS X Yosemite" --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff"
Too much vram = memory allocation crash:

Vmware: not tested yet
Physical hardware: Can't boot from flashed USB. Can't create a regular install-to-USB. Looks like iso is incompatible with USB. How to convert ISO to flash drive format?
ISO is too big for DVD-RW. Don't have any dual layer disks.
How did you try writing it to the drive for USB booting? win32diskimager or dd seem like the most likely to succeed.
"Flash drive" = 32GB SD card in reader.
Tried both. Linux dd to /sdb (not sdb1), and win32diskimager.
I verified in HxD hex editor that the win32diskimager wrote directly to the raw disk. Minitool partition editor recognized it as unpartitioned or empty or something.
Neither my desktop nor laptop recognized it as an EFI bootable device.
Laptop saw it as a MMC bootable device but when I tried booting from it, it just passed-through to Windows.
Definitely should've created a bootable USB if possible...
Should I just download a distro?
