I wanted to install macOS Sonoma using VMWare and downloaded the iso file. I allocated 80GB for storage, 12GB for RAM, and 3 cores. When I pressed Power on this virtual machine to start the installation, it got stuck at the Apple logo. Then, I added the following commands to the macOS 14.vmx file:

board-id = "Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95"
hw.model.reflectHost = "FALSE"
hw.model = "MacBookPro19,1"
serialNumber.reflectHost = "FALSE"
serialNumber = "C01234567890"
smc.version = "0"
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"

After adding these codes and starting it, I encountered the "Failed to start the virtual machine" error.
I am using an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F.

I changed virtualHW.version = "21" in macOS 14.vmx to virtualHW.version = "10" and the issue was resolved.
