Looking a good guide to get my VMware workstation 9 up and running with a retail (;-)) version of OS X.

I was able to figure out the Mac OS X Unlocker 1.1.1 and get the option to install VMware. Unfortunately it only shows 10.7. The two versions of OS X i have are 10.6 and 10.5.

I pressed on and it seems now im stuck at "The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS". So now i need to trick it (running a AMD win7 box)

Any tips welcome.

I can't say that I've ever tried running OS X on Workstation but I'm pretty sure that you can't. That's against Apple's terms to virtualize on non Mac hardware so I think VMware Fusion is the only product that will let you.

Look into a hacktintosh guide, there are virtualization ones too I think. I can't remember how I did it a long time ago, but I did with Snow Leopard. Why do you want to VM it though and not just do a Hackintosh Build? I multiboot with a Hackintosh and it's very, very, very stable (the only issue I ever have is losing my audio).

I have a couple of working 10.8 images, but I'm on Intel so there's less to worry about. If you've got patched VMW executables, there's torrents that will load right up and run with the AMD patches applied. Grab something like this: link removed, apply the nvram update, and see if it boots.
