OC4VM 2.0.1

[DrDonk]

Upgrading 2.0.0 to 2.0.1

Upgrading 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 is as simple as copying the latest opencore.iso file for the CPU type to the VM folder. The ISO is found in the VMware folder of the distribution and you will need to pick the correct one from the AMD or Intel folders. No other files need to be copied from the templates.

There is one speedup that can be added to the VMX file of existing VMs to make mouse cursor movement better. If you want to apply this close down the VM and open the VMX file in a text editor and add this line:

usb.quirks.darwinVendor45 = "FALSE" # Disable Apple specific USB processing

Alternatively use the vmxtool provided to edit from the terminal:

tools/<windows/linux/macos>/vmxtool set <vmx file> usb.quirks.darwinVendor45="FALSE"
