I need to know if it works on the latest Apple hardware (the retina 5K iMac or retina Macbook Pro isnt really in the budget so HiDPI display compatibility is not a serious issue right now). I think it depends on how well the virtual machine has been abstracted from the hardware.

Under Parallels 9 or 10, does SLS 10.6.8 guest OS still work on the latest Mac hardware like the mid-2014 iMacs or the just released Retna 5K iMac Click to expand.ĭont forget thát SL does nót have support fór HiDPI displays, somé customization might bé required. PD does havé good support fór running 0S X guest OSes, só I presume thát you should bé fine. Under Parallels 9 or 10, does SLS 10.6.8 guest OS still work on the latest Mac hardware like the mid-2014 iMacs or the just released Retna 5K iMac. I think this means Parallels has done a better job of hardware abstraction to allow SLS to run on hardwareCPUsGraphics chips that did not exist when SLS was supported. I have successfuIly installed Snow Léopard Server (SLS 10.6.8) guest OS running in a VM under Parallels 10 on a late 2012 iMac (13.2 model).

HOW do I post a NEW post on the forum 15 minutes poking around.ĭepending on the hardware you were running SL and the new one you might notice less graphical performance on an OS X virtual machine, this is due to the fact theres no graphical acceleration in an OS X Guest and as such its all done via CPU.
